Commissioning the AS-Interface safety monitor 5
Commissioning the AS-Interface safety monitor
5.1 Procedure
For reasons of safety, the commissioning of the AS-Interface safety monitor is performed step
by step according to a fixed procedure.
Step 1 - Call up and edit (optional) configuration
If you would like to change the configuration of a previously configured AS-Interface safety mo-
nitor, you have the option of reading the configuration stored in the AS-Interface safety monitor
into ASIMON. This is particularly useful when no configuration file has been stored on a data
carrier, or when a configuration file has been lost, e.g. due to data loss.
When configuring an AS-Interface safety monitor for the first time, or if you would like to com-
pletely reconfigure an AS-Interface safety monitor, continue with Step 2.
To call up the configuration, proceed as follows:
• If the AS-Interface safety monitor is in protective operation, you must first switch it to con-
figuration operation by clicking the button or by using the Stop command in the Monitor
(password protection) menu (see chapter 5.7 "Stopping the AS-Interface safety monitor").
• Then transfer the current AS-Interface safety monitor configuration to ASIMON using the
Monitor -> PC ... command in the Monitor menu (see chapter 5.2 "Reading in a configu-
ration from the AS-Interface safety monitor").
• Change the configuration in ASIMON as described in chapter 4.
Caution
As the commissioning of the AS-Interface safety monitor involves safety-relevant worksteps,
the commissioning must be performed by the safety officer responsible for the application.
Note
By querying the diagnostic information of an AS-Interface safety monitor used in protective
operation, you can reconstruct an unknown configuration. See “Option Diagnostics” on
page 17.
