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.
If a process image with check of F_iPar_CRC is used, the F_iPar_CRC value must be
provided in the software configuration.
F_iPar_CRC is output at the following points:
•
In Safety Designer, Overview, Checksum of the configuration (function and network) dialog
box
•
In Safety Designer, Report dialog box, Checksum of the configuration (function and
network) (the character string can be highlighted and copied into the report)
•
In the I&M data record 4 (IM_Signature)

S
hows the status of the display and LEDs when a device is connected.
Establishing connection
1.
Check whether the safety laser scanner is connected correctly.
2. Click on Connect in the toolbar.
✓
Safety Designer establishes 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.
18)
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.
