Starting up the drives
Before drives are integrated into the program, they should be started up. To do so, perform drive startup when using MOVI-C® components with the MOVISUITE® engineering software. For more detailed information on operating the MOVISUITE® engineering software and starting up the drive trains, refer to the corresponding documentation (NOTE: The MOVISUITE® manual is available in the software itself in the "More" > "Documents" menu or in Online Support. Furthermore, a video on this topic is available on the YouTube channel of SEW‑EURODRIVE).
If you use third-party components, you will have to start up the drive using the corresponding engineering software of the manufacturer.
Observe the following notes when starting up MOVI-C® components with MOVISUITE® for MOVIRUN® open:
- Do not configure MOVIKIT® software modules on the drives in MOVISUITE®.
- No further settings need to be made on the MOVI-C® CONTROLLER.
- The names of the devices in the CODESYS device tree (device slot 1) are not synchronized with the names of the devices in MOVISUITE®. In MOVISUITE®, use the same names for the devices as in the CODESYS device tree.
- As the user units are configured via the IEC project or PLCopen modules when using MOVIRUN® open, no other components such as gear unit or user units may be created and set in MOVISUITE®.
