Commissioning the AS-Interface safety monitor
5.1 Procedure
ASIMON V3 - Configuration software for AS-Interface safety monitor
Programming and Operating Manual, Edition 09/2008, GWA 4NEB 333 1558 02 DS 02 139
this, set all of the safe AS-Interface slaves which are to be monitored to the switched-on
state (ON) in sequence. Alternatively, you can also enter the code sequences manually.
If the code sequences of all safe AS-Interface slaves which are to be monitored could reliably
be read in, the provisional configuration log is then immediately transferred to ASIMON for re-
view by the safety officer responsible for the application.
Step 4 - Check the configuration log and validate the configuration
Carefully check the provisional configuration log transferred from the AS-Interface safety mo-
nitor. To do this, you can print out the log or save it as a text file. The structure of the configu-
ration log is described in detail in chapter 5.8. After doing this, you must validate the
configuration in the Validate window which opens (password protection).
Following validation of the AS-Interface safety monitor configuration, the final configuration log
must be transferred to ASIMON as part of the application documentation to be maintained by
the responsible safety officer.
Print out this log and file it together with the other safety-relevant documentation for your ap-
plication. In addition, you can also save the log as a text file. The structure of the configuration
log is described in detail in chapter 5.8.
Step 5 - Start the AS-Interface safety monitor
In the final step of the configuration, you must start the AS-Interface safety monitor, i.e. switch
from configuration operation to protective operation. To do this, click the button or select the
Start command from the Monitor menu (password protection, see chapter 5.6 "Starting the
AS-Interface safety monitor").
You must now check that your application functions properly (see chapter "Diagnostics and
error handling"). For this purpose, ASIMON automatically switches to the diagnostics view af-
ter startup (see chapter 6 "Diagnostics and error handling").
Notice
By validating the configuration, you confirm as safety officer that the system is set up correctly
and all safety-relevant regulations and standards for the application have been adhered to. To
do this, select from the Monitor menu the Validate… command (see chapter 5.5 "Validating
the configuration").
