System test

Before beginning with the assembly of the guide rails, check the functionality of the modules. You can determine whether you have assembled the modules properly and fully as well as identifying defects.

Power supply

System test 1:
Connect the entire system 1 to the power supply without guide rails
First switch the 24 V on, then the 48 V
Make sure that the LEDs 2 light up
System test 2:

The following LEDs 2 must light up:

If the LEDs do not light up:

Check the power supply units and fuses for voltage
Check whether the appropriate covers with connection card have been inserted
Contact the Support/Applications Department

TwinCAT

Beckhoff also recommends checking the modules using the TwinCAT software.

Connect EtherCAT connector to the control computer
Start a TwinCAT project
Scan the modules
Check the modules for functionality
