4 Commissioning
The password should be changed immediately after commissioning.
The new password and the password of the factory setting should only be known to the
appropriate "Person responsible for functional safety on the machine".
The changed password is saved in the safety module and replaces the previously valid
password and applies for all users. The password is not saved in a parameter file. It can­
not be read out of the safety module.
Data transfer from the motor controller
To compare the relevant parameters in the safety module with those of the motor controller (basic
unit), data is first transferred from the basic unit during an online session variant.
When you exit the SafetyTool, any data loaded from the FCT plug-in to the motor control­
ler could be lost during a restart. To prevent this, you must always make sure that the
data is backed up when you start the SafetyTool with an active online connection. This is
polled by a dialog.
When transferring data to the SafetyTool, in addition to the units of measurement, the parameters of
the connected shaft encoders are also transferred, which are mapped to the safety parameters for
encoder 1 and encoder 2.
Principle of "Sending and validating"
All the parameters changed in the SafetyTool must be sent to the safety module, checked and valid­
ated. This applies to the data transferred from the motor controller (basic unit) as well as to the
product terms for requesting safety functions or other mappings.
The sequence is identical on all parameter pages:
Step 1: Enable parameters for editing using the "Enable editing" button.
Step 2: Manipulate or change parameters. In so doing, the value range is checked.
Step 3: Transmit the changed parameters to the safety module using the "Transmit" button.
Step 4: After this, the transmitted parameters must be validated.
For validation, the setpoints (from the SafetyTool) and the actual values (from the safety module) are
displayed. Deviating values are marked by a symbol:
Symbol Status
The setpoint and actual value deviate from one another.
These parameters must be compared.
The setpoint and actual value deviate slightly from one another.
Certain values, such as times, are rounded to a multiple of the basic unit in the safety mod­
ule. This is why the setpoint and actual value may differ in the context of this rounding.
Such a value can be validated.
