4.3 Creating and changing a configuration
A valid configuration for the AS-Interface safety monitor must consist of the following devices
for each independent OSSD:
• at least 1 monitoring device
• at least 1 start device (with two dependent output groups, only for OSSD 1)
• exactly 1 output device (with two dependent output groups, only for OSSD 1)
The maximum number of devices is dependent on the function range of the AS-Interface safety
monitor type:
• function range "Basic":maximum 32 devices (device index 32 … 63).
• function range "Enhanced":maximum 48 devices (device index 32 … 79).

Procedure

Select a device from the icon library and insert it into the window of the desired OSSD (see
“Operation” on page 30).
When you insert the device into a window, the input mask for the device first opens. Here, you
can make all required entries for this device.
This includes information such as:
• designation (name) of the device within your application, e.g. "Lock gate1"
• type, e.g. "double channel forced"
• AS-Interface bus address
• additional device options which can be activated
• monitoring and delay times
After confirming your entries with the OK button, the device appears in the window of the re-
spective OSSD.
Note
Detailed information about which devices can be used with which configurations can be found
in the description of the individual devices.
Note
The view in the window is updated by pressing the <F5> key; i.e. the window contents are re-
drawn on the screen.
