Operating Instructions
NET-BOX-PS
WARNING
•
The minimum time between the change of a single safe digital input and the
transmission to the safety fieldbus is 6 ms. In case of an input level change at all 6
safe digital inputs at the same time, the maximum safe application reaction time is
16 ms (approx. 2 ms processing time per changed input).
•
The maximum operation time (proof-test interval) of the NET-BOX shall not exceed
20 years. When reaching the proof test interval the NET-BOX shall be replaced and
put permanently out of order.
•
Error bits reported by the NET-BOX via PROFIsafe shall not be used to trigger the
safety function of a device or system.
•
Only use configuration files provided directly by IDEM.
•
After the detection of a safety critical error, the NET-BOX shall not be kept in fail-
safe state for more than 1 hour.

PROFINET/PROFIsafe Configuration
Download the GSDML file for the NET-BOX and import into the application control software.
The NET-BOX, once connected, will be discoverable on the network. The device name can be set, allowing
the control software to integrate the NET-BOX into the system. Ensure the PROFIsafe F-address set on the
NET-BOX DIP switches matches the configured F-Address setting for the specific NET-BOX device in the
control system.
Device replacement
If the topology of the devices within the PROFINET system is defined by the control system, automatic device
replacement may be possible:
1. Remove the existing device, taking note of the DIP switch positions.
2. Copy the DIP switch settings to the new device.
3. Ensure the new device has been factory reset (See 5.3.) and does not contain a device name (new
devices are delivered in this state).
4. Connect the replacement device to the same port as its predecessor.
5. Wait while the PROFINET systems finds and configures the replacement device before normal
operation is resumed.
To manually replace a NET-BOX device:
1. Record the device name of the NET-BOX to be replaced.
2. Remove the existing device, taking note of the DIP switch positions.
3. Copy the DIP switch setting to the new NET-BOX.
4. Fit the new device in place, install power, and network connections then apply power.
5. Using the control software, find the new NET-BOX device on the network and assign the same
device name as the replaced device.
6. Wait while the PROFINET systems finds and configures the replacement device before normal
operation is resumed.
