Start-up Support Meets Your Production Demands
Enjoy a Smoother Start-up with Your Drive or Drive System
Highly experienced field service professionals work with you to help improve equipment operation and reduce your risk of performance problems and premature equipment failures. Our standard process verifies that the necessary electrical, mechanical, and environmental criteria have been met. In addition, we verify that appropriate steps have been taken for proper equipment operation.
Typical start-up tasks we perform:
- Physical inspection and verification of proper drive and motor installation practices before the application of power
- Verification of external control wiring
- Confirmation of drive cabling to motor, line feed, isolation transformer (if applicable)
- Incoming line and drive output grounding checks
- Voltage application, checkout, calibration, and testing of the drive as appropriate for the application
- Adjustment of operation parameters, within drive and motor design limitations, to values as appropriate for the application
- Operation of drive through speed range to verify proper performance
- Loading of network parameters in the drive
- Documentation of drive and motor nameplate information, application information, drive settings, and operating parameters
Drives started up by Rockwell Automation receive an Extended Parts Warranty: up to two years from start-up date, to a maximum of 30 months beyond manufacture date.
