Checksums
A c
hecksum is used as a unique identification for a configuration. Using the checksum,
it is possible to work out whether a setup was changed or whether two devices have the
same configuration.
The checksum of the configuration in the project may not match the checksum in the
device, for example if a field geometry has been modified, but not yet transmitted to the
device.

Establishing connection
1. Check whether the safety laser scanner is connected correctly.
2. Click on Connect in the toolbar.
✓
Safety Designer creates the connection to the safety laser scanner.
7.3.1 Functional scope
Older versions of the Safety Designer potentially do not support the full functionality of
t
he latest devices. Vice versa, older devices might not support the full functionality of
the latest Safety Designer.
To identify the different levels of the functionality, we use a 3-digit version number. The
version number is marked with the letter V on the device.
In order for a configuration to be transmitted from the Safety Designer to the device,
the functional scope of the configuration and the functional scope of the device must
match one another:
•
The 1st digit of both version numbers must be identical
•
The 2nd digit of the version numbers on the device must be at least as large as
that of the configuration in the Safety Designer
•
The 3rd digit is not relevant for compatibility
The functional scope of the device can be read at the following locations:
•
Label on the device
•
Display, entry in the menu Device information under Hardware
•
Safety Designer, Overview dialog box (only with connected devices)
•
Safety Designer, report

If t
he device is only connected via the network and has no network address, Safety Designer can find the device but cannot establish a
connection to it. You first need to assign the device a valid network address.
