11-4 Checking Configuration Data Using Indicators
An ID can be displayed on the I/O indicators of the G9SP-series Controller to
identify the configuration data. This is used to check the configuration data in
present operation or to check configuration data on the Memory Cassette
before restoring data.
What Is a Configuration ID?
The configuration ID is a 4-digit decimal code that is generated from the con-
figuration data created on the G9SP Configurator. Data is generated from set-
tings not related to safety, such as function block placement information and I/
O comments, in addition to safety-related settings, such as Safety I/O terminal
settings and programming. Therefore, the configuration ID is a different value
even when there have been changes in safety-related settings or changes
that do not affect operation of the G9SP-series Controller, such as changes in
function block assignment.
What Is a Safety Signature?
This is a code that is generated from the safety-related settings made with the
G9SP Configurator. It is used to check if there has been a change that will
affect the operation of the G9SP-series Controller.
Checking with the G9SP Configurator
1,2,3... 1. Right-click the unit name in the Project Window and select Property.
2. Click the Signature Tab.
Checking the Configuration ID
The section describes how to check the configuration ID.
Checking the Configuration Data in Present Operation
1,2,3... 1. Press the Push Switch for at least 1 s on the front of the G9SP-series Con-
troller when it is operating in IDLE Mode or RUN Mode.
2. After 1 s, the configuration ID will be displayed on the Safety Input terminal
indicators of the G9SP-series Controller.
Checking the Configuration Data Stored on the Memory Cassette
Refer to step 3 in 11-3 Restoring Data to G9SP-series Controller.
