Configuration, parameterization, and download
An example for configuration, parameterization, and download can be found in the quick
start guide for the IC220SDL953 (see "Ordering data: Documentation" on page 10-7).
A 9.1
Configuration and parameterization using the VersaConf
Safety tool
The VersaConf Safety software tool is available to users for configuring the safety logic and
parameterizing the channels of the safety modules used. Configuration and
parameterization can be carried out offline, without connecting to the safety modules.
During configuration, you select the modules, set the switches, and connect the safety
function in VersaConf Safety.
To parameterize the system, parameterize each input and output of the system. You must
also set the watchdog time for each satellite.
The safe configuration and parameterization user interface of VersaConf Safety generates
a data record containing the configuration and parameterization data of all modules of a
VersaSafe island in the format specific to the controller. So that data consistency and
uniqueness can be checked, suitable means such as addresses, module IDs, and CRCs
are included in the configuration and parameter record.
Import this configuration and parameter data record into the standard controller used
according to the controller.
On every power up, make this data record available to the IC220SDL953 island node (see
"Downloading the configuration and parameter data record following power up" on
page A-27). The IC220SDL953 module is thus parameterized. The satellites are
parameterized automatically by the IC220SDL953 module.
VersaConf Safety can be used as a stand-alone tool. However, depending on the control
system, calling VersaConf Safety can also integrate the transfer of the configuration and
parameter record deeper into the relevant control system.
Online help is available for the VersaConf Safety software tool.
VersaConf Safety should also be used in the planning phase. If the size of the configura-
tion and parameter data record for the planned safety functions exceeds the memory
size, an error message is displayed and changes can be made at an early stage.
To roughly estimate the memory required, please use the information in "Memory sizes
for the safety logic" on page A-33.
