7.11.1 Verifying the configuration content and configuration transfer at the same time
Prerequisites
•
Exis
ting connection between the configuration software and device
Approach
1. Check whether a connection to the correct safety controller exists.
2. Click on Verify in the toolbar.
3. Check the verification report.
4. If the configuration content is correct, click on Confirm.
✓
The configuration content is verified.
Complementary information
•
The configuration of connected elements is not part of the safety controller ver‐
ification. Connected devices must be verified separately where applicable. For
information about this, please refer to the operating instructions for the devices in
question.

7.12 Checksums
Checksums
T
he configuration software displays various checksums in the report and on the hard‐
ware configuration information page.
Each checksum exists both within the configuration project and in the SmartPlug of
the respective safety controller. The checksums in the SmartPlug correspond to those
checksums in the project that applied when the configuration was last transferred.
Checksums:
•
Overall checksum value
The total checksum includes the safety configuration and the standard configura‐
t
ion.
•
S
afety checksum
The safety checksum includes the safety configuration.
•
Standard checksum
The standard checksum includes the standard configuration (configuration data of
t
he non-safety function).
•
V
erification checksum
This checksum includes the safety configuration at the time of the most recent
v
erification. If this checksum and the verification checksum are identical, the
configuration of the safety controller is considered verified.
Complementary information
Each checksum is 4 bytes long.
The configuration data of the safety configuration are part of the verification report and
must be confirmed. Other configuration data are information-only components of the
report.
