8SYSTEM VALIDATION
All safety functions as well as the trouble-free functioning of the installed and pro-
grammed system must be tested with the initial o
peration. The testing of the system must
be documented.
WARNING!
Danger during commissioning!
The control system may only be put into commission aft
er being tested successfully
by a technical expert
Therefore:
m Conduct a complete function test. In doing so, check the correct allocation of the
co
nnected safety components.
m A checklist for the commissioning and valida
tion of the system is reproduced in Ap-
pendix ZC.2 Commission
ing and validation checklist– on page 69. Conduct the
validation of the system in accordance with this checklist and document the proce-
dure accordingly.
m Make sure that operating personnel has been instru
cted in the handling of the con-
trol system.
8.1 Function test
The function test is a major part of the validation of the entire system. The function test is
used to determine the trouble-free allocation of the network safety components and the
programmed logic of the system.
Use the project documentation printed out by ProSafety to conduct the function test. The
instru
ctions on handling the project documentation can be found in the programming
handbook.
Depending on the complexity of the logic circuit of
the respective project, it is recommend-
ed to conduct the function tests in steps.
