7.2
Prerequisites for the configuration
Take sufficient time to plan the integration and the configuration of the EFI gateway. Take
into account that errors in the planning and configuration can endanger persons.
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled before you configure the EFI gateway:
The application must already have been planned completely. The planning must include
among other things:
–
a detailed safety analysis of the planned application
–
a complete list of all the required devices, their connections and the signals provided
by or required by these devices
The EFI gateway must be connected to the power supply (see section 5.1
The safety components must be connected electrically to the EFI gateway. To this
purpose read chapter 5
18 on, as well as the
corresponding chapters of the operating instructions of the devices that you want to
connect to the EFI gateway.
If you use the CDS to change configurations via remote access, take into account that your
local time is set as the configuration time in the configuration. In the case of a time
difference between the locations this can cause short-term problems.
