Safe parameterisation with the SafetyTool

4.5.1 Starting the program
When the FCT PlugIn CMMP-AS is active, start the SafetyTool using the "Start SafetyTool" button.

4.5.2 Selection of the session types - Configuration wizard
In both session types (online/offline) the SafetyTool is an offline software tool as defined
by EN 61508 for installation and commissioning (Phase 12). In addition, the SafetyTool
provides support during validation (Phase 13), during which a corresponding protocol can
be created using the parameterised functions of the safety mode. It is not possible to
change parameters during active operation. When an online parameterisation session is
started, the safety module switches to the safe status (STO + SBC). It is the duty of the
machine manufacturer or machine operator to validate the functions.
The SafetyTool supports 2 session types:
– Online: Working on the safety module.
The SafetyTool communicates with the target system (the safety module).
You can observe the safety module and read the parameters, you can change individual parameters
or transfer a complete safe parameter set.
Before you change the parameters, the safety module switches to the "Safe basic status". The
parameters must be validated before the safety module leaves the "Safe basic status". Changed
parameters do not take effect immediately and do not become active until after full validation and
restart.
– Offline: Working on a local file.
The SafetyTool does not communicate with the target system (the safety module).
However, you can create and save a preliminary parameterisation for the safety module.
