Basic rules for parameterisation with the SafetyTool

Common properties of the parameterisation operations
Parameterisation always consists of the following steps:
1. Open a parameterisation session.
2. Change individual parameters.
3. Validate individual parameters or the entire parameter sets (generation of a validation code).
4. Permanently save the parameter set in the safety module; entire parameter set is considered valid­
ated.
After further parameter changes, the steps 3. and 4. must be executed again.
5. End a parameterisation session, "activate" the parameter set.
6. Restart the safety module.
Opening of a parameterisation session
When a parameter session is opened, the safety module switches to the safe basic status, the drive is
switched off (output stage switched off, safe brake control not energised, DOUT4x on the safety mod­
ule switched off ).
During a parameterisation session, the VOUT_SERVICE status is active.
Switch-on / switch-off of the drive is only possible after the parameterisation session is closed and only
when the parameter set has been validated.
The opening of a parameterisation session is saved in the permanent diagnostic memory.
During the active parameterisation session, the message "FSPArA" is output on the 7-segment display
of the motor controller (providing that no error is pending), see è Section 5.4.2. Pressing "Start identi­
fication" in the Start Wizard allows you to output the message "HELLO...". The message is there for the
identification of the motor controller if multiple motor controllers are connected to the parameterisa­
tion PC.
Only one parameterisation session can be opened for each safety module at any time.
If a parameterisation session is already opened, the safety module will refuse further requests until the
current parameterisation session is closed.
This prevents a safety module from being parameterised simultaneously from multiple PCs using the
SafetyTool. The SafetyTool only allows changes to parameters when a parameterising session has been
opened.
User ID and password
When a parameterisation session is opened, a user ID (user name) and a password must be entered.
The user ID and password both consist of ASCII characters (letters, numbers and umlauts, no special
characters) and have a maximum length of 8 characters.
In the delivery status or after a reset to the factory setting, the password is "SAFETY".
