Commissioning a controller

Commissioning installs the software on a controller. This procedure works for commissioning a new controller or upgrading an existing controller.

You are working in Workbench. You are connected to the controller platform.
  1. Double-click the Platform node for the controller in the Nav tree.
    The Authentication window opens.
  2. Enter the credentials you just created when you connected to the platform for the first time, enable Remember these credentials, and click OK.
    The Nav Container View opens.
  3. Double-click Platform Administration row in the table.
    The Platform Administration view opens.

  4. Click the Commissioning button.
    The Commissioning wizard opens.

    This wizard is intended for a remote controller only. This button is not available when connected to any Windows platform. For commissioning details, refer to the appropriate installation and startup guide for your particular controller.

    Note: If the Workbench FIPS property Show FIPS Options is set to true certain FIPS options become visible in this window. If selected, the framework enforces FIPS-strength password requirements.
  5. Follow the wizard, clicking Next until you configure all options.
  6. After reviewing all changes, click Finish.
    Commissioning begins.
    CAUTION: Do not interrupt the commissioning process. If you interrupt, you may not be able to restore the station.
    After the commissioning process is complete, the controller boots.
  7. When prompted, click Close.
    The wizard installs the software and reboots the controller.
