AS-Interface
Function and startup of the Safety Monitor
For additional information, refer to the separate manual for the
ASIMON 3 G2
configuration software.
2.
Using a chip card with the master configuration
Configurations stored on the chip card, which are validated but which do not
contain any code sequences, can be sent to the device. The code
sequences must then be taught to the corresponding safety AS-i slaves.
This procedure is useful when you want to use a safety program in several
safety monitors without any changes.
3.
Using a chip card with complete configuration
In contrast to the master configuration, the complete configuration also con-
tains the code sequences for all included slaves. Sending the complete con-
figuration from the chip card to the Safety Monitor can make replacement of
the device enormously simpler and faster.
