AS-Interface
Function and startup of the Safety Monitor
8.2.2
Description of configuration using chip card with master configuration
Generating a master configuration:
•
Generate a configuration using the
ASIMON 3 G2
software
•
Load the configuration into the device
•
Release (validate) the configuration, but do not teach the code sequences
•
The code sequences will be taught on the physical AS-i circuit
8.2.3
Configuration using a chip card with complete configuration
The chip card contains the complete configuration if:
•
An empty chip cared is plugged into an AS-i Safety Monitor which already
contains a complete configuration, or
•
The chip card is already inserted while the configuration is being written into
the device using
ASIMON 3 G2
software and before validating the code
sequences.
If the AS-i Safety Monitor needs to be replaced, the stored configuration can be
transferred by simply plugging the chip card from the old device into the new one.
Attention!
Safety advisory:
Ensure that the chip card contains the configuration intended for and released for
the application!
This can be done by comparing the release codes on the display (section <MONI-
TOR CONFIG (configuration of the int. monitor)>):
•
The safety representative who generated and validated the release code
stores the release code for the master configuration and approves use of the
configuration for specific equipment.
•
The person performing the startup reads out the release code on the display
before teaching the code and compares it with the release code stored and
appr
oved for the equipment.
After the chip card has been used to load the configuration into the device, the
safety functions of the device must be checked in the equipment.
Checking of the release code and testing the system must be documented in wri-
ting and is part of the system documentation.
