This manual introduces the basic steps that are needed to make the safety
system operational, with particular focus on the following steps.
• System Design and Programming
• Configuration
• User Test
In this step, the optimum safety system is determined by the following proce-
dures:
1. Based on the required safety system specifications, select and arrange the
safety devices and determine the safety functions to be allocated to each
device.
2. Configure the network system as a virtual network in the Network Config-
urator.
• Register all of the devices. If the system is a mixed safety control and
standard control system, register both the safety devices and standard
devices.
• Set the parameters of all the devices.
• Check the percentage of the network bandwidth being used and re-
view the parameters.
• Create the program for the NE1A-series Controller.
• Verify the system reaction time of all the safety chains.
The network bandwidth usage and the system reaction time are affected by
several factors, including the network configuration, NE1A-series Controller
and Safety I/O Terminal parameter settings, and NE1A-series Controller pro-
gram, so repeat the steps above to determine a system configuration which
meets the users' requirements.
Please refer to the following sections for the operating instructions of the Net-
work Configurator.
• Device Registration
