Introduction
Introduction
Commissioning must be performed after the physical installation of the LTMR controller, LTME expansion module and other hardware devices.
The commissioning process includes:
-
Initialization of the installed devices, and
-
Configuration of the LTMR controller parameters that are required for operation of the LTMR controller, LTME expansion module, and other system hardware
The person performing commissioning must be familiar with the system hardware, and how it will be installed and used in the application.
Hardware devices can include:
-
Motor
-
Voltage transformers
-
External load current transformers
-
Ground current sensors
-
Communication network
The product specifications for these devices provide the required parameter information. You need to understand how the LTMR controller will be used to be able to configure the protection, monitoring, and control functions for the application.
For information about configuring protection and control parameters, refer to the TeSys T LTMR Motor Management Controller User Guide.
For information about the configuration of the communication network, refer to
-
TeSys T LTMR Ethernet Communication Guide
-
TeSys T LTMR Modbus Communication Guide
-
TeSys T LTMR PROFIBUS DP Communication Guide

Initialization
The LTMR controller is ready to be initialized after the hardware installation is complete. To initialize the LTMR controller:
-
Be sure the command to control the motor is off, then
-
Turn on the LTMR controller

IMPROPER INITIALIZATION
Disconnect power to the motor before initializing the LTMR controller.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
|
Neither the LTMR controller nor the LTME expansion module require additional hardware configuration (for example, turning dials, or setting dip-switches) to be initialized. When powered up for the first time, the LTMR controller enters an initial state and is ready for commissioning.
Configuration Tools
Identify the configuration control source–and the configuration tool–before configuring parameters. The LTMR controller and LTME expansion module can be configured locally using an HMI device or remotely via the network connection.
The LTMR controller can be commissioned using:
-
An LTMCU control operator unit,
-
A PC running SoMove with the TeSys T DTM,
-
A PLC connected to the LTMR controller’s network port.
The following parameters identify the configuration control source:

This chapter describes commissioning performed using the LTMCU control operator unit, or SoMove with the TeSys T DTM.
Commissioning Process
The commissioning process remains the same, regardless which configuration tool you select. This process includes the following stages:
Stage |
Description |
---|---|
First power-up |
The LTMR controller initializes, and is ready for parameter configuration. |
Configuring required settings |
Configure these parameters to move the LTMR controller out of its initialization state. The LTMR controller is ready for operations. |
Configuring optional settings |
Configure these parameters to support the LTMR controller functions required by the application. |
Verifying hardware |
Check hardware wiring. |
Verifying the configuration |
Confirm accurate parameter settings. |
