Function and Commissioning

The configuration and commissioning of the AS-i safety monitor is performed using a
PC/notebook with the asimon configuration software.
Notice!
The description of the asimon software and the commissioning of the AS-i safety
monitor can be found in the "asimon – Configurations and diagnosis software for AS-i
safety monitor ASM1/ASM1E.
The software manual is an important part of the operating manual for the AS-i safety
monitor. Configuration and commissioning of the AS-i safety monitor is not possible
without the asimon software.
Configuration may be performed only by a safety officer. All commands relevant to
safety are protected by a password.

Function and operating modes

With the AS-i safety monitor, a distinction is made between 3 operating modes:
• Start-up operation
• Configuration operation
• Protective operation

8.1.1 Start-up operation

After switching on, the microcontrollers in the AS-i safety monitor first perform a system
test of the hardware and internal software. If an internal device error is detected, the
other device initialisation processes are stopped and the output switching elements
remain switched off.
If all internal tests are completed successfully, the AS-i safety monitor checks whether
a valid, validated configuration is stored in the internal configuration memory.
If yes, this configuration is loaded, the necessary data structures assembled and the
device switches to protective operation. Depending on the configuration, the output
switching elements are then switched on or remain switched off.
If either no configuration or a faulty configuration is detected in the configuration
memory, the device switches to configuration operation. The output switching elements
remain switched off.

8.1.2 Configuration operation

In configuration operation of the AS-i safety monitor, a command processing module is
activated which communicates via the serial configuration interface with the asimon
software installed on the PC/notebook (see the "asimon – Configurations and diagno-
sis software for AS-i safety monitor ASM1/ASM1E). Data transmission is monitored for
transmission errors and, if necessary, repeated.
It is possible to switch to configuration operation by
• sending the password-protected command stop while in protective operation from
the asimon software. Configured shutdown delay times are to be taken into
account here.
