- ►Switching the target system to Config Mode
- ►Click on Scan to find I/O devices
- ►Select the devices to be used and confirm the selection with Ok
- ►Click on the Yes button to search for boxes
- ►Select whether an NC or CNC configuration is to be created for the EtherCAT drive(s) found and confirm the selection with Ok
- ►Click Yes to confirm that you want to enable FreeRun
The devices scanned in TwinCAT are now displayed in the I/O level with the inputs and outputs
- ►Add a TC3 Drive Manager 2 project for the configuration of the AMP8000 system
In the Search drives... dialog box, connected components of the AMP8000 system and other Beckhoff drive technology components can be configured and basic settings made.
- ►Selection of power supply on the AMP8620 power supply module
- If there is no supply voltage, the default settings are used. If a braking resistor is used, this can be selected in advance.
- The AMP8000 motors have an electronic nameplate that can be scanned automatically. Select Scan motor in PreOp to scan the motor and its parameters.
- The basic NC scaling settings can be made via the Config NC selection options
- ►Confirm settings by clicking on Continue
The electronic nameplate of the AMP8000 motors is now scanned. The read motor parameters are automatically transferred to the configuration. The scanned AMP8000 motors are displayed in green.
- ►Complete the configuration by clicking on Ok
- ►If an External braking resistor was selected in the previous step, the braking resistor must be configured under the Basic Settings of the AMP8620 power supply module
- ►Activate the configuration
The selected settings take effect when the configuration is activated. The safety configuration must be carried out to operate the AMP8000 motors.
For commissioning and device replacement, the instructions in the Operating instructions AMP8911 - TwinSAFE card must be observed.
Further information on safety commissioning can be found in the webinars on the Beckhoff homepage:
