Powered Commissioning Status

Published first-time motor setup and the validation requirements that remain before operation.

First-time setup is not full commissioning

The dashboard workflow now covers Motor ID assignment, read-only discovery, zeroing, and firmware activation. Each powered step remains blocked until its page-specific assembly, power, support, emergency-stop, release, and acceptance requirements pass.

Published Setup Sequence

Remaining Commissioning Work

Full commissioning still requires validated procedures for:

  1. support arrangement, lifting method, exclusion zone, and personnel roles
  2. approved battery, charger, connector, polarity, fuse, switching, distribution, and power-conversion configuration
  3. independent emergency-stop integration, functional test, shutdown behavior, and recovery
  4. public board-image downloads, checksums, shutdown, and a supported version matrix
  5. control-board-only power validation and expected measurements
  6. six-branch CAN topology and communication acceptance beyond dashboard Motor ID discovery
  7. actuator firmware and duplicate-ID recovery
  8. current, torque, velocity, and software command limits
  9. side-specific joint direction, range, hard-stop, and independent zero verification
  10. IMU, camera, microphone, speaker, and other I/O tests with objective expected results
  11. low-energy single-joint and restrained whole-body motion tests
  12. stop conditions, recovery instructions, recorded values, final acceptance criteria, and commissioning handoff

Manual joint movement and whole-robot electrical measurements also remain unavailable until their exact setup, test points, methods, limits, and acceptance criteria are validated.

Current Non-Motion Destination

Use the unpowered review to record visible conditions and existing evidence before evaluating any powered setup prerequisite.
