MPS System 203 Basic

11.2 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.

11.3 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 PLC. Distributor blocks are therefore included, also for the connection of additional
stations. If the cable length from the distributor block 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.
