5.1 Functions of the VACON Safe Tool
Use the VACON
Safe tool to parameterize the Advanced safety option board.

The functions of the VACON
•
Parameterization of the option board
•
Validation of the parameter file
•
Monitoring of the state of the option board and the safety functions
•
Setting the passwords for the option board
VACON
Safe tool cannot be used for the general control and diagnostic of the AC drive. For those purposes, use NCDrive. The
®
option board firmware is updated with VACON
5.2 The Parameter File
The configuration of the Advanced safety option board and the selected safety functions and their parameters are stored in a pa-
rameter file. The parameter files are created, viewed, and transferred between a PC and the option board with the VACON
tool.
A newly created parameter file on the PC is in state unverified. This means that the Advanced safety option board has not yet veri-
fied that the file is valid and can be taken into use. Once the option board has done the verification, the parameter file becomes
verified. The verification is done during the parameterization process.
If the verified parameter file is not modified, it can be saved to other Advanced safety option boards. The other option boards check
the parameter file to make sure that the content is not corrupted and that it matches the option board configuration, for example,
the encoder type.
The verification of a parameter file means that it can be taken into use, but the option board cannot determine if the parameter
values are correct for the process where the option board is used. After the verified parameter file is saved to the option board, test
the whole safety system to make sure that all safety subsystems operate correctly together. Test also that the safety functions of the
Advanced safety option board are correctly set for the process. After the testing, the parameter file can be updated to indicate that
it has been tested with the rest of the system.
After testing, the parameter file is validated. Validated parameter files can be saved to other Advanced safety option boards, like
verified parameter files, but the validation is cleared in the process. The report from commissioning should be included in the docu-
mentation and in the process of certifying the whole system.
5.3 User Levels and Password Management
To protect the parameters of the option board from accidental modifications, the option board has a two-level password system.
The admin and service level passwords have different rights for modifying the parameters of the option board.
A password is required in actions that write data on the option board. Reading actions are not password-protected. The PC tool asks
for the password when you try to start an action that requires a password. The default passwords are listed in the table below.
