The functions of the PNOZmulti system are defined in the PNOZmulti Configurator soft-
ware.
Procedure
} First, the required hardware is selected in the PNOZmulti Configurator via drag and
drop. Each unit is given a resource label.
} When all the units are selected, the circuit diagram is created in the user program. The
circuit diagram describes the application for which the safety system is to be used. It is
here that you determine which inputs are assigned to which safety-related or standard
functions.
} The inputs and/or the results of the safety-related or standard functions can be linked
through logic functions. The results of the logic functions or the results of the safety-re-
lated or standard functions are channelled to the outputs on the PNOZmulti units.
} The circuit diagram is generated on a graphical interface. Symbols are provided for the
safety-related or standard functions, logic functions and the various output types. These
are simply dragged on to a workspace, configured and interconnected.
} Frequently used parts of the circuit diagram can be combined into macro elements,
stored in the macro library and reused.
} Once the circuit diagram is complete, the data must be saved and downloaded to the
base unit. The circuit diagram, unit configuration and all the data that has been entered
are stored within a project.
} When the project is saved, various passwords can be used to protect it from unauthor-
ised access.
} Once it is saved, the project has to be downloaded to the base unit. To do this, the pro-
ject data is downloaded on to a chip card. It is either downloaded directly via the com-
munications interface or via a chip card reader.
} After downloading, a test must be performed to check that the safety devices function
correctly.
} A project or diagnostic configuration can be created in multiple languages.
