Forcing signals in the online display of the connection editor directly controls the safety
module.
Starting startup mode 1. In SAFECONF, select "Startup Mode" from the "Safe Controller" menu.
2. A message appears, alerting you to possible hazards. Click "Yes" in this dialog box to
exit safe mode and switch to standard startup mode.
The pink background of the status field in the configuration software status bar
indicates that the safety module is running in standard mode:
The connection editor still displays online values, i.e., signals and connections, which
are TRUE if green and FALSE if gray. The hardware editor is also visible in online mode.
Forcing signals 3. To force a signal in the connection editor, right-click on the corresponding signal and
select the "Force" command from the signal context menu.
Alternatively, double-click on the signal with the left mouse button.
The "Force" dialog box opens.
4. The signal designation can be seen at the top of the dialog box. The value to be forced
is determined automatically from the current signal value and set in the dialog box.
WARNING: Eliminate hazards
Before forcing any signals, ensure that doing so will not pose a risk for people or materials.
WARNING: Startup mode is a standard operating mode
As in online mode, the connection editor displays online values, which are read from the
safety module. However, as signals can also be influenced in startup mode (which is not
possible in online mode), startup mode is a standard operating mode.
Once the supplementary function test has been performed in startup mode, exit startup
mode again. This resets forced signals.
Time limit: You have 30 seconds to change the operating mode (i.e., to click "Yes"). After
this time, a corresponding error message is displayed and "Startup Mode" must be
selected again in the "Safe Controller" menu.
WARNING: Eliminate hazards due to forcing
Be extremely careful when forcing signals with the safety module running. Forcing means
that the safe configuration is executed with the values of the signals you have forced.
