4 SAFECONF configuration software
4.1 Installing SAFECONF
The installation routine for the configuration software also includes the installation of the
required driver for the USB interface. This driver is required to enable communication
between the PC on which SAFECONF is installed and the PSR-TRISAFE-S safety module.
Proceed as follows:
1. If you have downloaded the configuration software, extract the downloaded file and
start the installation program (setup file).
If you have purchased the PSR-SAFECONF-BOX, insert the supplied CD in the drive.
A graphical menu opens. Select "Install software" to start the installation program.
(If you have deactivated the auto start option on your computer, open the "SAFECONF"
folder on the CD and execute the setup file.)
2. Select the desired language for the installation routine. (This also sets the language for
the SAFECONF user interface, which is set when the software is started for the first
time.)
3. The installation program now guides you through the installation step by step.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Once SAFECONF is installed, you will be prompted to install the drivers for the safety
module.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. In the Windows dialog box for driver installation, select "Install the software
automatically (recommended)".
Finally, a message appears indicating that the configuration software and drivers for the
safety module have been fully installed.
4.2 Overview of functions and features
The SAFECONF safe configuration software is used only for the configuration of the
PSR-TRISAFE-S safety module. The software supports the user in all operating phases,
from planning the application, through configuration to starting up the PSR-TRISAFE-S
safety module and compiling system documentation.
The following SAFECONF functions are available:
Creating the safety logic – Creation of the safety logic using a graphical connection editor. The circuit which the
safety module runs on is created by graphically linking safe functional blocks certified
according to the PLCopen specification via connecting lines and safe functions. Safe
functions range from logic operations such as AND, OR, etc., to timer and trigger
functions.
To ensure that the configuration software detects the safety module automatically and
correctly, the software must be fully installed on the computer before the device is
connected for the first time.
