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
password 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
software 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
according to the instructions in the User's Manual for the ASIMON 3 G2 configu-
ration software.
