When switching off block download, the controller is
parametrised for the first time. If all the required parame
ters were written during axis data writing, status C02 is
quit. From this point in time the actual position can be
read or any other function of the CMAX can be executed
for the first time.
The CMAX now waits for the movement test to be
executed.
The CMAX can be fully parametrised without hardware.
Connecting an axis is not required for this purpose.
If no axis is connected, the controller indicates an error
after parametrising. The CMAX is still fully diagnostics−
capable and parametrisable.
Without hardware all parametrised data can be read.
Connecting an axis is not required.
The actual effective length is stored in the DGCI. It is read
when the hardware is connected and also copied to the set
point data. When commissioning without hardware, the
nominal length must be parametrised since the effective
length is no known. The CMAX accepts both effective and
nominal lengths for nominal/actual comparison.
