ASIMON V3 - Configuration software for AS-Interface safety monitor
Programming and Operating Manual, Edition 09/2008, GWA 4NEB 333 1558 02 DS 02 53
Description
With the double channel dependent monitoring device, both switching signals of the respec-
tive safe AS-Interface slave each act on 2 bits of the transmission sequence. In this case, both
of the switching signals must arrive within a synchronisation time defined by the user. If only
one contact opens, the second contact must still open before both contacts can be closed
again.
Optionally, a startup test and/or a local acknowledgement are/is possible. Upon activation of
the Also acknowledge after startup checkbox, local acknowledgement is always mandatory
even after switching on the AS-Interface safety monitor or following a communication error
(warm start of the AS-Interface safety monitor).
Application icons
Emergency shutdown
Safety guard
AOPD - contactless active protective device
Module - used to connect conventional safe switching elements via a safe
AS-Interface module.
Enabling switch
Key switch
Two-handed operation
(as per EN 574: with startup test, max. synchronisation time 500ms)
Note
If the synchronisation time defined by the user is exceeded, the activation must be repeated.
If the synchronisation time is set to infinite (), the AS-Interface safety monitor does not grant
the validation until the second switching signal arrives.
Caution
When using for two-handed operation, the corresponding application notes in the manufactu-
rer's documentation must be observed!
