Monitoring The Activation State Of Technology Objects In The Engineering System; Procedure For Deactivating And Activating Components - Siemens SIMOTION Function Manual

Activating and deactivating components and technology objects

5.5 Procedure for deactivating and activating components

5.4.3.2

Monitoring the activation state of technology objects in the engineering system

You can monitor the current activation state of the technology objects of a SIMOTION device
in the engineering system (e.g. SIMOTION SCOUT). The engineering system must be in online
mode.
Note
You cannot make any settings for the activation or deactivation of technology objects in online
mode.
1. Make sure that the engineering system (e.g. SIMOTION SCOUT) is in online mode.
2. Select the SIMOTION device (e.g. C240) in the project navigator.
3. Select the Edit > Object states menu.
5.5 Procedure for deactivating and activating components
The following is a brief summary of the steps that must be performed when deactivating and
activating each component (e.g. machine modules, DP slave with assigned technology
objects):
● Deactivating components (Page 87)
● Activating components (Page 87)
Note
If possible, deactivate technology objects and components first before activating other
technology objects and components. In this way you will avoid level overflows.

A list of all technology objects configured on this SIMOTION device is displayed. The check
box in front of the identifier of each technology object indicates the activation state after the
transition to RUN operating mode and the current activation state:
– Check mark in the check box: activation state after the transition to RUN operating mode
(setting in offline mode)
– Color of the check box: current activation state (green = activated).
