Configuration of the safety functions with the SafetyTool

In contrast to a safety controller, the safety module is not freely-programmable.
It has a defined function range, which can be activated and parameterised by the user. To be able to
adapt the functions in the safety module flexibly to different applications, the actual safety functions
and the outputs have a configurable logic section to specify the switching conditions.
The selection of the safety functions, the assignment of the I/Os and the request of the safety functions
via inputs and other conditions are configured using the SafetyTool.
The SafetyTool is a software module for safe commissioning of the safety module and is started from
the PCT PlugIn CMMP-AS.
The parameterisation defines the following settings, amongst other things:
– The inputs are activated when a function is allocated to them, such as a sensor type è Example,
Section 4.6.7.
– The individual safety functions are activated and parameterised, e.g. by specifying limit speeds, etc.
– The request of a safety function is parameterised as a logical operation, e.g. via the request through
an input è Example, Section 4.6.8.
– To signal an active safety function, the internal status can, for example, be linked to an output.
– The behaviour in case of error (the error response) can be configured
You can find the description of the procedure for parameterising the safety module with
the SafetyTool in è Section 4.5.
Important:
The SafetyTool supports automatic data transfer from the basic unit. The shaft encoder,
gear unit, feed constants, etc. are configured only once during basic unit commissioning.
After the commissioning of the basic unit, this data is read by the SafetyTool and trans­
mitted to the safety module, guided by dialogs.
– Fully parameterise the basic unit in the first step and functionally optimise the applica­
tion.
– In the second step, please parameterise the safety engineering.
Please note
Safety functions in the commissioning phase.
As measures to ensure the required functional safety are required during the commis­
sioning phase of a system, note that:
• The safety module must be fully configured and the application must be fully valid­
ated before it can provide any protection
