1. Introduction
The “Configuration and Diagnostic Software” developed by Rockwell Automation is designed for the most varying of applications. It can be used as a
truly active work-instrument by technicians, safety experts, maintenance personnel, designers, process controllers as well as purchase managers.
The program is primarily used to configure the Rockwell Automation GuardShield and MSR42 products but can also be used for diagnosis functions
together with the “Optical Interface”. The “Configuration and Diagnostic Software” is delivered with every Optical Interface and is also available free of
charge, on the Internet at www.ab.com.
This software description manual covers the following Rockwell Automation products:
• Safety Relay MSR42
• Safety Light Curtain Micro 400
• Safety Light Curtain Safe 2
• Safety Light Curtain Safe 4
With the help of this software, functions like start mode (automatic or manual), stop delay, EDM, and “Safety Override” can be chosen easily and
configured graphically.
The software provides technical data and various application information of all supported applications.
