Configuration Signature
Each safety device has a unique configuration signature, which
identifies its configuration to verify the integrity of configuration data
during downloads, connection establishment, and module
replacement.
The configuration signature is composed of an ID number, a date, and
a time and is set automatically by RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software
when a configuration update is applied to the device. The
configuration signature is found on the Safety tab of the Device
Properties dialog. It is also displayed on the alphanumeric display, on
character at a time, when the service switch is pressed.
