SG4 FIELDBUS
6 COMMISSIONING AND CONFIGURATION
6.1 BASIC RULES
All openSAFETY devices used on the bus must have a POWERLINK certificate and an openSAFETY
certificate.
All safety instrumented devices must also have a certificate from a "Notified Body" (e.g., TÜV, BIA, HSE,
INRS, UL, etc.).
The shielding effect of cables must also be ensured after installation (bending radii/tensile strength!) and
after connector changes. In cases of doubt, use more flexible cables with a higher current carrying
capacity.
Upon completion of installation, a visual inspection with report should be carried out.
Whenever possible, the quality of the network should be verified using a suitable bus analysis tool: no duplicate IP
addresses, no reflections, no telegram repetitions, etc.
M12 D-coded male Ethernet connectors must be used for transmission.
6.2 POWERLINK / OPENSAFETY
For a description of the functional principle of POWERLINK and of the complete communication
processing, please refer to the EPSG specification DS 301 Communication Profile Specification.
For the safety protocol of openSAFETY, please refer to the EPSG specification WDP 304 Safety Profile
Specification.
