You can print out the final configuration log and/or store it as a file. To do this, select on the
Monitor menu in the Configuration log submenu the appropriate command.
With the Save as… command, the standard Windows® dialog window for saving files is
opened; with the Print… command, the file is printed directly on the set default printer.
The final configuration log serves as safety-relevant, application documentation to be main-
tained by the responsible safety officer.
Print out this log and file it together with the other safety-relevant documentation for your ap-
plication. The structure of the configuration log is described in detail in chapter 5.8.
After you have successfully validated the configuration, you can start the AS-Interface safety
monitor, i.e. put it into protective operation.
5.6 Starting the AS-Interface safety monitor
If a valid, validated configuration is present in the AS-Interface safety monitor, you can switch
the AS-Interface safety monitor from configuration operation to protective operation by clicking
the button or with the Start command in the Monitor menu.
After starting protective operation, the status line informs you of the change to the new opera-
ting mode and ASIMON automatically switches to the diagnostics view (see chapter "Dia-
gnostics and error handling").
The change from protective operation to configuration operation is then possible only by
means of a Stop command (see chapter 5.7 "Stopping the AS-Interface safety monitor").
