      • Ensure the PXM40 firmware is up to date.
      • Load the necessary project files or application settings using Siemens tools (e.g., ABT Site or Desigo CC).
      • Configure communication protocols (BACnet/IP, Modbus, or others) to integrate with controllers and field devices.

        Testing & Finalization:

        • Verify the HMI screen functionality (touch response, display clarity).
        • Check communication with controllers, sensors, and actuators.
        • Test alarms, trends, and system interactions.

        • Ensure proper user access levels and security settings.
        • Save and back up configuration files.
        • Document settings and parameters.
        • Train end-users on basic operation and troubleshooting.

          ✅ Commissioning Step-by-Step:
