Powering on
Application
After using the main switch to power on the machine, the control's boot process begins. The following steps may differ depending on the machine; for example, whether absolute or incremental position encoders are used.
Refer to your machine manual.
Switching on the machine and traversing the reference points can vary depending on the machine tool.

Power-on of the control begins with the power supply.
After booting, the controls checks the machine status, e.g.:
- Positions identical to before switching off the machine
- Safety features are ready, such as the emergency stop
- Functional safety
If the control registers an error during or after booting, it issues an error message.
The following step differs depending on position encoders on the machine:
- Absolute position encoders
If the machine has absolute position encoders, the control opens the Start/Login application after power-on.
- Incremental position encoders
If the machine has incremental position encoders, you must traverse the reference points in the Move to ref. point application. Once all axes have been referenced, the control is in the Manual operation application.
Powering the machine and the control on

If startup is delayed by functional safety, the control displays the text Functional safety requires input. When you select the FS button, the control switches to the Functional safety application.
Notes
- If possible, reset tilting before shutting the system down
- Check the tilted condition when switching the machine back on
- Check the axis positions
- Only confirm the pop-up window with YES if the axis positions match
- Despite confirmation, at first only move the axis carefully
- If there are discrepancies or you have any doubts, contact your machine manufacturer
