Installation Guidelines

1. 1 Initial Setup: Unpack the Field PG on a clean, stable surface. Connect the provided power adapter and charge the battery fully before first use in a mobile capacity.
2. 2 System Configuration: Upon first boot, complete the Windows 7 setup process. Install any required drivers for specific communication adapters (e.g., PC Adapter USB) before attempting to connect to a PLC or HMI.
3. 3 Software Activation: Activate the trial licenses for the SIMATIC software suites as needed for your engineering tasks. Note that these licenses are time-limited.
4. 4 Industrial Environment Use: When using on the plant floor, ensure the device is protected from excessive moisture, dust, and vibration. Use a stable, level surface to prevent drops. Keep ventilation ports clear to avoid overheating.
5. 5 Connecting to Control Systems: Before connecting any interface cable (Ethernet, PROFIBUS, MPI) to a live control system, verify the communication settings in the "Set PG/PC Interface" utility within the SIMATIC software to match the network parameters.
