Prerequisites for test and validation of FlexSystem
Make sure that all equipment is in place. Pay special attention to the following:
The first FlexCarrier have an e-stop entry plug connected.
The daisy chained FlexCarriers have a bypass plug connected.
The e-stop button is a breaking model (N.C. Contacts) and that it is connected to the e-stop entry plug
The reset button is of a closing model (N.O. Contacts) and that it is connected to the e-stop entry plug.
Make sure that the screws on the terminal block are securely tightened, to prevent cables from disconnecting.
All FlexCarriers are fully populated, no empty slots are allowed. If there is an empty slot equip it with a FlexBlank module.
Connect all FlexCarriers together with FlexControl cables, pay attention to the IN and OUT markings on the FlexCarriers.
The first and last FlexCarrier in the daisy chain should only have one FlexControl cable connected.
