Add, Configure, Monitor, and Replace CIP Safety I/O Devices Chapter 5
Understanding the
Configuration Signature
Each safety device has a unique configuration signature that defines the
module configuration. The configuration signature is composed of an ID
number, date, and time, and is used to verify a module’s configuration.
Configuration via the Logix Designer Application
When the I/O device is configured by using the Logix Designer application,
the configuration signature is generated automatically. You can view and copy
the configuration signature via the Safety tab on the Module Properties dialog
box.

Different Configuration Owner (listen-only connection)
When the I/O device configuration is owned by another controller, you need
to copy the module configuration signature from its owner’s project and paste
it into the Safety tab of the Module Properties dialog box.
TIP If the device is only configured for inputs, you can copy and paste the
configuration signature. If the device has safety outputs, they are owned by the
controller that owns the configuration, and the configuration signature text box
is unavailable.
