AS-i 3.0 EtherNet/IP Gateway with integrated Safety Monitor
Function and startup of the Safety Monitor
3.
Using a chip card with complete configuration
In contrast to the master configuration, the complete configuration also con-
tains the code sequences for all included slaves. Sending the complete con-
figuration from the chip card to the Safety Monitor can make replacement of
the device enormously simpler and faster.
8.2.1
Description of configuration using ASIMON 3 G2 software
The following description represents a short guide to configuring the AS-i Safety
Monitor. For a detailed description of the
ASIMON 3 G2

To connect, plug the diagnostic cable end with the PS2 connector into
the socket of the diagnostic interface (RS 232) of the monitor and the
other end with the 9-pin Sub-D socket connector to a free COM port
(serial RS232 interface) on your PC (see section 2.1.2 “Connection
between the AS-i Safety Monitor and the PC" in the software manual).
•
Configure the AS-i Safety Monitor and start it up as described in the software
manual.

Before starting up the device you must adapt the device configuration to your
application. This means configuring the AS-i Safety Monitor according to the soft-
ware manual so that the location to be protected is in fact protected by the device.
