1.1 About the ASIMON program

The software described here is intended for the configuration and commissioning of the AS-In-
terface safety monitor with the use of a PC.
By means of an easy-to-use user interface, the AS-Interface safety monitor can be configured
in combination with safe AS-Interface slaves, such as emergency shutdown switches, safety
gate switches, protective photoelectric sensors etc., within an AS-Interface bus system to pro-
vide safeguarding of the danger areas present at power-driven machinery.
The commissioning and documentation of your safe application are also supported by
ASIMON.
This version of the ASIMON configuration software has been developed for use under the
Microsoft® Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista® operating systems.
Note
A brief introduction to secure AS-Interface transmission can be found in the operating manual
of the AS-Interface safety monitor.
