VALIDATION
All safety functions as well as the trouble-free functioning of the installed and pro-
grammed system must be tested with the initial operation. The testing of the system must
be documented.
WARNING!
Danger during commissioning!
The control system may only be put into commission after being tested successfully
by a technical expert
Therefore:
m
Conduct a complete function test. In doing so, check the correct allocation of the
connected safety components.
m
A checklist for the commissioning and validation of the system is reproduced in Ap-
pendix
C.2 Commissioning and validation checklist
on page 69. Conduct the
validation of the system in accordance with this checklist and document the proce-
dure accordingly.
m
Make sure that operating personnel has been instructed in the handling of the con-
trol system.
8.1
Function test
The function test is a major part of the validation of the entire system. The function test is
used to determine the trouble-free allocation of the network safety components and the
programmed logic of the system.
Use the project documentation printed out by ProSafety to conduct the function test. The
instructions on handling the project documentation can be found in the programming
handbook.
Depending on the complexity of the logic circuit of the respective project, it is recommend-
ed to conduct the function tests in steps.
