Configuration using ASIMON

Complete configuration of Safe Link is done using the ASIMON software, in the
"Monitor/Bus information" section [1] on the "Safe Link" tab [2].
Here the group and device addresses are assigned and the safe programs for the
individual Gateways managed. Information about the IP addresses of the partici-
pating devices are also stored in the project structure.
In organizational terms all Gateways that need to communicate with each other
are combined in one group (Group addresses 1 to 15) [3].
Each device in a group is given a unique device address (Device addresses 1 to
31) [4].
One of the devices is assigned as the manager of the group [5], which means it
monitors whether all the participating devices are present in the network.
31 bits are available in each Gateway which can be used by the other group
members as safe signals.
In a full configuration with 31 Gateways this means a total of 961 safe coupled
signals are available.
Information!
Before setting up Safe Link, be sure you have read the information on configuring Safe
Link in the ASIMON documentation in the section <Safe Link Tab>
