AS-i 3.0 EtherNet/IP Gateway with integrated Safety Monitor
Status indication, faults and fault elimination
16.3
Replacing a defective AS-i Safety Monitor
If an AS-i Safety Monitor is defective and needs to be replaced, the replacement
unit does not necessarily have to be newly configured using the
ASIMON 3 G2
software, rather it is possible to copy the configuration of the defective device us-
ing a chip card.
Requirement:
The replacement unit has an empty configuration in its configuration memory.

Forget the password? What do I do now?
If the password is lost for your configuration, proceed as follows:
1.
Find the valid configuration protocol for the AS-i Safety Monitor whose
password you have lost (printout or file). In the configuration protocol in line
10 (Monitor Section, Validated) you will find a 4-digit code.
•
If you do not have the configuration protocol and do not want to place the AS-
i safety monitor in configuration mode, connect the AS-i safety monitor whose
password you have lost to the PC and start the
ASIMON 3 G2
software.
•
Select a neutral configuration and start the diagnostics function in
ASIMON 3 G2
using MONITOR -> DIAGNOSTICS. Wait until the current
configuration appears on the screen. This may take up to 1 minute.
•
Open the window MONITOR/BUS INFORMATION (EDIT MENU -> MONI-
TOR/BUS INFORMATION…). On the Title tab you will also find the 4-digit
code in the Download time window area.
2.
Contact technical support at your supplier and enter the 4-digit code.
3.
From this code a master password can be generated which can be used to
access the stored configuration.
4.
Use this master password to stop the AS-i Safety Monitor and enter a new
user password. In the Monitor menu of the
ASIMON 3 G2
configuration
software select the menu item Password changing.
