Check Current Operating Mode

Press MOD key and navigate to Operating Modes menu to verify current SOM status and safety system state.

SOM_1 indicator will be displayed in the status bar when active

Exit Safety Mode

Navigate to MOD > Machine Parameters > Safety and disable SOM_1 mode if testing is required and machine is in safe condition.

Only disable safety mode when machine area is clear and all safety procedures are followed

Verify Safety Circuit Status

Check all E-stops, safety doors, and light curtains are in normal operating state before attempting axis tests.

Use PLC status display to verify all safety inputs are satisfied

Check User Access Level

Press MOD key, select User Management to verify current login has testing authorization privileges.

Service level access (level 2 or higher) is typically required for axis testing

Login with Higher Privileges

Navigate to MOD > User Management and login with service or manufacturer level credentials.

Only use authorized service credentials and document any parameter changes

Verify Testing Authorization

Check machine parameter MP7680 (User Authorization) to confirm testing functions are enabled for current user level.

Parameter may need to be set by machine builder or authorized service personnel

Access Machine Parameters

Navigate to MOD > Machine Parameters > General and locate MP7680.x authorization parameters.

Machine parameter changes require manufacturer password and should be documented

Check Testing Authorization Bits

Verify MP7680 bit settings for axis testing authorization - bit must be set to 1 to enable testing functions.

Consult machine documentation for specific bit assignments as they vary by machine builder

Modify Authorization if Permitted

If authorized, set appropriate bits in MP7680 to enable axis testing, then perform control restart to activate changes.

Only modify these parameters with explicit authorization from machine builder or service manager

Check Safety Function Status

Navigate to PLC > Status > Safety Functions to view active safety functions and their current states.

Look for STO, SOS, or SLS functions that may be actively restricting axis movement

Review Safety Logic

Check PLC program logic for safety interlocks that may be preventing test mode authorization.

Never bypass safety functions - resolve the underlying safety condition instead

Clear Safety Conditions

Address any active safety conditions through proper procedures, then attempt axis testing again.

Use safety system diagnostic displays to identify specific safety inputs that need attention
