Diagnostics
The MSS 3RK3 features diverse diagnostics options:
• Diagnostics via displays on the device/LEDs
• Diagnostics with Safety ES
• Diagnostics via fieldbus (PROFINET or PROFIBUS) if interface module is present
• Diagnostics with diagnostics display
• Diagnostics via AS-Interface (in the case of central units with AS-i interface)
Safety ES parameterization and diagnostics software
The safety functions are parameterized via the Safety ES software. The software visualizes the
wiring of the individual functions by graphical parameterization. All safety or logic functions are
available as blocks and can also be easily configured and then logically combined with one
another. The software checks the interconnection for errors before the safety program can be
loaded into the safety relay.
Forcing
Test operation of the software assists you during commissioning. Here, output signals can be
forced in order to test the logic processing or already installed system sections. Forcing means
that the output signals in the logic can be set to 1 or 0, irrespective of the real signal.
Deactivating safety functions
Functions can be specifically deactivated in the software and assigned substitute values. This
means that a complete safety program can be created and tested for the maximum
configuration for a system. The system can then be commissioned with a partial configuration,
while the parts that are not needed in the safety program remain deactivated. If the system is
later expanded, these steps mean that you only need to reactivate the applicable parts of the
safety program.
Diagnostics
The software allows you to monitor the safety system and, to this end, visualizes the status of
the safety functions and the status of the devices. The status of each element and the
configuration as a whole can be viewed online.
Documentation of the safety functions
Documentation is also created for the safety functions and, after printing, can be used for system
documentation purposes in compliance with the standard ISO 7200.
