Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.

DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE

Contents of this Getting Started Manual
Based on a concrete example, this Getting Started manual takes you through five
commissioning steps to the point where you have a functioning traversing movement. You
will get to know certain basic hardware and software functions and will calculate and check
the application-dependent parameters in this sample.
This process will take one to two hours, depending on your experience.

3.5 5. Step: Trial run

Procedure
1. In the "Function blocks" directory, double-click on the variable table "VAT_GETST_A" in
your project.
The variable table for monitoring and modifying is displayed.
2. Go online with "PLC > Connect to > Configured CPU".

CAUTION

The next two test steps start the drive.

You can stop the drive in one of the following ways:
• Set the control value for the direction to 0 again and activate it
• Set the control value for the drive enable to 0 again and activate it
• Change the CPU to STOP

4. Switch the CPU to RUN.

At the bottom right, you will see that the CPU is set to "RUN" mode.
5. Try out the two following experiments. With "Variable > Activate Modify Values", you can
make the control values valid.
