403-1 System, Distributing Pro-Joining-Sorting Inline – Operating instructions
11.3 Pneumatic commissioning
First the mechanical setup must be completed. Connect the system's stations to the compressed air supply
in the room. The service units required are located at the rear of each station. The quick coupling plug has a
nominal width of 5 mm.
If the local system has a nominal width of 7.9 mm, the service unit's quick coupling plug can be replaced
with a larger one (adapter from ⅛ to ¼ required). After the system has been connected to the compressed
air supply, it can be pressurized to 600 kPa (6 bar). Pneumatic commissioning is then finished.
11.4 Electrical commissioning
Now the system has to be supplied with electrical power. This is normally done via the SysLink cable, which
is connected to the respective PLC. Distributor manifolds are therefore included, also for the connection of
additional stations. If the cable length from the distributor manifold needs to be increased, this can only be
carried out by appropriately trained, skilled personnel. The plug socket used must be fused appropriately
for the consuming devices.
In order to avoid problems during operation, individual fusing (16 A) of the system is strongly
recommended.
