System test

Before beginning with the assembly of the guide rails, check the functionality of the modules. You can determine whether you have installed the modules correctly and completely and identify any defects.

Power supply

System test 1:

Connecting the connection cable to the connector

Once modules with connectors are mounted, the connection cables must first be plugged into the connectors before the system is connected to the power supply.

Notice

Use cables with a high number of bending cycles

For moving track sections, cables with a high number of bending cycles must be used. Beckhoff recommends the use of the following cables:

  • ZK7A14-3155-Axxx
  • ZK7A14-3031-Axxx
System test 2:
Plug the connector [1] of the connection cable into the connector [2] of the module
System test 3:
Tighten the connector [1] with assembly tool [+]
System test 4:

Adapter in the control cabinet

When using modules with connectors and cables with B23 connector ends, make sure that there is a corresponding ENP power adapter [+] in your control cabinet.

System test 5:
Connect the entire system with connection cables [1] or connector [2] without guide rails to the power supply

The following sequence must be observed when connecting:

switch on 24 V control voltage
switch on 48 V supply voltage
System test 6:

The following LEDs [1] must light up:

If the LEDs do not light up:

TwinCAT

Beckhoff also recommends checking the modules using the TwinCAT software:
