Procedure for first power-up
The TSX Nano incorporates several selftests which continually monitor its operation.
The results of these self-tests are displayed on the front panel of the PLC. They can be made more detailed using the terminal.(1)
The diagram below shows the procedure for powering up the PLC for the first time.

ERR
Initialize the PLC memory
(see Part D,
Section 1) memory initialized by the terminal
OK: RUN
(see Part D,
Section 1)
• Connect the terminal.
• Initialize PLC memory by clearing the whole memory (Prg menu, Clr command).
: if using the PL7-07 software, create a
"new" application and transfer it to the PLC.

OK: RUN
Possible actions
• Check I/O connections.
• Configure and enter the program from the terminal :
- either directly into PLC memory (TSX mode)
- or into terminal memory (FTX mode), then transfer to the PLC memory.
• Set to RUN using RUN/STOP input %10.
● if it is configured, or via the terminal.

Checking the I/O connections
• Principle
This check ensures that :
- data from the sensors is received by the inputs and transmitted to the processor,
- commands from the processor activate the outputs and are transmitted to the corresponding output devices.
• Recommendations
In order to avoid any random movement of the machine, it is recommended that :
- power fuses be removed from the motor controls,
- pneumatic and hydraulic inputs be closed.
• Procedure
- Power up for the first time, as shown in Section 5.2. Ensure that the I/O
LED is not lit continuously.
- Leave the PLC in STOP.
- Select the Data Editor on the FTX 117 terminal, or the PL7-07 software.

Terminals
- Change the state of system bit %S8 (PLC status output) to state 0.
- Check the inputs by activating each sensor :
- Check that the LED on the front panel for the corresponding input changes state.
- Check on the terminal screen that the corresponding bit also changes state.
- Check the outputs using the terminal :
- Force the bit corresponding to each output to state 1.
- Check that the LED for the corresponding output changes state, as well as the associated output device.
- Using the terminal :
- Remove all forcing
- Reset system bit %S8 to state 1 (the outputs are set at 0).
Note : If the PLC does not contain the application program, this entire procedure can be performed in RUN. In this case, bit %S8 can remain at state 1 (default state).
