Behaviour In Case Of Invalid Parameterisation - Festo CAMC-G-S3 Manual

Symbol Status
The parameters are not yet validated (all stages of the parameters before validation).
All the parameters of this page are validated. These parameters are identical to the para­
meters in the device. Only when all the parameters on all the pages have been validated is
full validation and permanent saving of the parameters in the safety module possible.
At least one parameter deviates from the parameters in the device. The differences must
be resolved.
There is a faulty value in an entry or selection field. The error must be corrected.

Behaviour in case of invalid parameterisation

If there is no valid parameter set in the safety module,
then the output stage of the motor controller is blocked and all the digital outputs are de-energised.
The safety module must be parameterised again with the SafetyTool.
4.5.7 Parameter set version
When the revision of the safety module changes, that does not necessarily mean that a new version of
the parameter set is needed (change in the firmware version or hardware version leads to a new full
revision of the safety module).
The parameter set version monitors the compatibility between the SafetyTool and the safety module.
New parameter set in old firmware
Parameter sets are not accepted which are generated with a firmware version which is more recent that
in the safety module. An error message "Incompatible parameter set" is generated.
Old parameter set in new firmware
The parameters are loaded first. The version number of the parameter set is used to check how to pro­
ceed with the parameter set.
If the version of the parameter set is not compatible, then validation via the validation code is refused.
If the version of the parameter set is compatible, then, for example, parameters which the set does not
have are set to values which ensure that the safety module behaves in the same way as with an older
revision.
The firmware can only be updated by the manufacturer.
