Replacing a defective AS-i Safety Monitor

If an AS-i Safety Monitor is defective and needs to be replaced, the replacement
unit does not necessarily have to be newly configured using the ASIMON 3 G2
software, rather it is possible to copy the configuration of the defective device us-
ing a chip card.
Requirement:
The replacement unit has an empty configuration in its configuration memory.
Information!
After replacing a defective safe AS-i Safety Monitor, always check the correct function
of the new AS-i Safety Monitor.

Forget the password? What do I do now?

Attention!
Only the responsible safety representative is permitted to retrieve a lost password
as follows!
If the password is lost for your configuration, proceed as follows:
1. Find the valid configuration protocol for the AS-i Safety Monitor whose pass-
word you have lost (printout or file). In the configuration protocol in line 10
(Monitor Section, Validated) you will find a 4-digit code.
• If you do not have the configuration protocol and do not want to place the AS-
i safety monitor in configuration mode, connect the AS-i safety monitor whose
password you have lost to the PC and start the ASIMON 3 G2 software.
• Select a neutral configuration and start the diagnostics function in
ASIMON 3 G2 using MONITOR -> DIAGNOSTICS. Wait until the current
configuration appears on the screen. This may take up to 1 minute.
• Open the window MONITOR/BUS INFORMATION (EDIT MENU -> MONI-
TOR/BUS INFORMATION...). On the Title tab you will also find the 4-digit
code in the Download time window area.
2. Contact technical support at your supplier and enter the 4-digit code.
3. From this code a master password can be generated which can be used to
access the stored configuration.
4. Use this master password to stop the AS-i Safety Monitor and enter a new
user password. In the Monitor menu of the ASIMON 3 G2 configuration soft-
ware select the menu item Password changing.
Attention!
Please note that accessing the configuration stored in the AS-i Safety Monitor
can affect the safe function of the system. Changes to released configurations
are to be made only by authorized personnel. Any change must be made accor-
ding to the instructions in the User's Manual for the ASIMON 3 G2 configuration
software.
