Functional scope

If the device is only connected via the network and has no network address, Safety Designer can find the device but cannot establish a
19)
connection to it. You first need to assign the device a valid network address.

Checksums
A checksum is used as a unique identification for a configuration. Using the checksum,
it is possible to work out whether a setup was changed or whether two devices have the
same configuration.
The checksum of the configuration in the project may not match the checksum in the
device, for example if a field geometry has been modified, but not yet transmitted to the
device.
System status
• Application status
• Current notification of the safety laser scanner
• Configuration date for the configuration in the device
• Synchronization: shows whether the configuration in Safety Designer and the con‐
figuration in the device are identical
• Verification status of the configuration in the project
• Verification status of the configuration in the device
Time synchronization
•
Configured value in the project
• Configured values in the device
Measurement data
Shows the measurement data when a device is connected.
Display
Shows the status of the display and LEDs when a device is connected.
Establishing connection
1. Check whether the safety laser scanner is connected correctly.
2. Click on Connect in the toolbar.
✓
Safety Designer establishes the connection to the safety laser scanner.
Older versions of the Safety Designer potentially do not support the full functionality of
the latest devices. Vice versa, older devices might not support the full functionality of
the latest Safety Designer.
To identify the different levels of the functionality, we use a 3-digit version number. The
version number is marked with the letter V on the device.
A configuration in the Safety Designer or in a system connector must match the device
for which it is to be used. If the configuration fits, it can be transferred from the Safety
Designer to the device and the system connector with the configuration can be used for
the device.
