Commissioning the AS-Interface safety monitor
5.5 Validating the configuration
ASIMON V3 - Configuration software for AS-Interface safety monitor
Programming and Operating Manual, Edition 09/2008, GWA 4NEB 333 1558 02 DS 02 145
5.5 Validating the configuration
To validate a configuration, select on the Monitor menu the Validate… command. A dialog
box appears in which you can validate a configuration by entering your name and the pass-
word.
Confirm your entry with the OK button. An info window then confirms successful validation of
the configuration.
Note
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.
Note
Configuration validation is, as are several other safety-relevant commands, password protec-
ted. The default password of a brand-new AS-Interface safety monitor is "SIMON". You must
change this default password to a password known only to the safety officer responsible for
the application (see chapter 5.9 "Entering and changing the password").
Note
Following successful validation, save the configuration again on the PC. In this way you ensure
that the download time and the taught-in code sequences are also stored in the configuration
file and the ASIMON diagnostics recognise the correct configuration.
Note the validation information in addition to the password, however, in a different location.
Using this information, the manufacturer can generate a generic password which can be used
to re-enable the AS-Interface safety monitor should the password be lost.
The validation information can also be found in line 10 of the final configuration log.
