Commissioning the AS-Interface safety monitor

Step 2 - Transfer the configuration to the AS-Interface safety monitor
After you have created a valid configuration for the connected AS-Interface safety monitor, you
must then transfer it to the AS-Interface safety monitor.
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 configuration from ASIMON to the AS-Interface safety monitor
using the PC -> Monitor ... command (see chapter 5.3 "Transferring a configuration to the
AS-Interface safety monitor").
• Following successful transfer to the AS-Interface safety monitor, the configuration must be
taught in (teaching in the code sequence of the safe AS-Interface slaves to be monitored).
A dialog window appears after the configuration has been transferred, asking whether you
would now like to do this.
Step 3 - Teaching the safe configuration
After you have transferred your configuration to the connected AS-Interface safety monitor,
you must then teach it in.
This is performed for the purpose of verifying the transferred configuration and for a functional
check of the safe AS-Interface slaves which are to be monitored.
Proceed as follows:
• Put the AS-Interface bus into operation, including all safe AS-Interface slaves which are to
be monitored.
• Where possible, set all of the safe AS-Interface slaves which are to be monitored to the
switched-on state (ON).
• Confirm the query "Would you like to teach the code sequences?" with the Yes button
or select on the Monitor menu the Teach safe configuration… command (see chapter
5.4 "Teach safe configuration").
• The code sequences are now taught in. If, due to the system design, not all of the safe
AS-Interface slaves which are to be monitored can simultaneously be set to the switched-
on state (ON), teaching in of the code sequences is repeated in steps until the code se-
quences of all of the slaves which are to be monitored have been read in correctly. To do
Notice
The existing configuration on the AS-Interface safety monitor is overwritten during a new con-
figuration. If you are not certain whether this configuration will be needed again in the future,
please read it into ASIMON and save it to a data carrier before performing a new configuration.
If you would like to reconfigure the AS-Interface safety monitor, you must first change the
default password to a new password, which is known only to you as the safety officer (see
chapter 5.9 "Entering and changing the password").
Note
To teach-in the safe configuration, the respective AS-Interface bus must be in full operation
and the safe AS-Interface slaves which are to be monitored should, if possible, be in the swit-
ched-on state (ON). Otherwise, the AS-Interface safety monitor cannot receive code se-
quences.
Alternatively, you can also enter the code sequences manually.
