If optics cover calibration is not done correctly, persons and parts of the body to be
protected may not be detected.
►
Carry out an optics cover calibration with the Safety Designer every time the optics
cover is replaced.
►
Carry out the optics cover calibration at room temperature (10°Cto30°C).
►
Only carry out the optics cover calibration using a new optics cover.
►
Make sure that the entire system is clear of contamination when the adjustment is
carried out.

7.21.7 Compare configuration
Overview
You can use this function to compare the current configuration in the device window
with a previously exported configuration or the configuration in the device.
Exported configurations are stored in their own format: “.sdsc”. You can export a
configuration under Service > Compare configurations in the Current configuration of project
area in the device window.
Prerequisites
•
T
he configuration export contains only one device.
•
Type code of the device is identical in both configurations.
•
Version number of the functionality is identical in both configurations.
Approach
1.
In the navigation menu of the device window, navigate to Service > Compare configu‐
rations.
✓
The Safety Designer shows the current device configuration at the top left of the
workspace.
2. Reading in comparison data:
°
Reading a configuration from the device: Open the drop-down menu next to
the device symbol and select Read from Device.
°
Importing a configuration file: Select and import a previously exported config‐
uration file using Import data.
°
Use the current configuration in the device window: Select Use comparison
data.
✓
The Safety Designer starts the configuration comparison and displays the results
in a table in the workspace.
3. If necessary, export the comparison result as a .csv file using Export result via the
comparison table.
