AS-Interface
Function and startup of the Safety Monitor
8.
Function and startup of the Safety Monitor
Configuration and startup of the AS-i Safety Monitor is accomplished using a PC/
Notebook and the
ASIMON 3 G2
configuration software.
The operating language of the device can be set for the respective country (see
section <Language (menu language)>).
Configuration may be performed only by a safety authorized person. All safety-re-
lated commands are password protected.
8.1
Powering up the device
As soon as supply voltage is present on the device an internal system test is
started. This operating state is indicated by lighting of the upper LED row.
8.2
Configuration of the safety functions
The device can be configured in several ways:
1.
Using
ASIMON 3 G2
software
The
ASIMON 3 G2
software represents the most universal method of con-
figuring the Safety Monitor. Here the behavior of the Safety Monitor can be
determined by linking various monitoring modules. After being sent to the
Safety Monitor, this configuration is verified and can then be validated.
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.
Information!
The description of the
ASIMON 3 G2
software and startup of the AS-i Safety Monitor
can be found in the manual “
ASIMON 3 G2
AS-i Safety Monitor Configuration Software
for Microsoft®-Windows®“.
The software manual is an important component of the operating manual for the AS-i
Safety Monitor. It is not possible to configure and start up the AS-i Safety Monitor with-
out the
ASIMON 3 G2
software.
Information!
For additional information refer to section <Description of configuration using chip card
with master configuration>.
