Configuring the AS-Interface safety monitor
4.3 Creating and changing a configuration
ASIMON V3 - Configuration software for AS-Interface safety monitor

Select the Deactivate command. In the window which opens, you specify under which condi-
tions the deactivated device is to be replaced in the configuration. To do this within an AND
device, select the value TRUE. This is in the top configuration level. To do this within an OR
device, select the value FALSE.
This device then always delivers the preset value regardless of whether the safe slave is in-
stalled on the bus.
This option can also be used for commissioning when the safe slave is not yet installed but
parts of the configuration are to be put into operation.
If the safe AS-Interface address of the device to be deactivated is no longer used in any other
device1), you can decide during deactivation how this address should be used:
1. Information about bus for address … Delete:
The address should be removed from the bus information (results in no check mark for this
address - neither under "Safe" nor "Standard") if the safe slave is also physically removed
from the AS-Interface bus.
2. Information about bus for address … Retain:
The address is retained as an unused safe address (results in a deselectable check mark
for this address in the "Safe" column) if the safe slave physically remains in the AS-Inter-
face bus.
1) Such multiple usage is, however, only possible with the "zero sequence detection" device.
