7.4 Working with configurations
Overview
A conf
iguration is a compilation of all parameters and values that you can set for
the safe multibeam scanner. A configuration is saved directly on the device or on the
computer as a configuration file.
You always use Safety Designer to create and change a configuration. You can config‐
ure a device online or offline.
The user groups activated for a device and their passwords are not part of the configu‐
ration and are not applied when transferring a configuration to another device.
Online configuration
T
o configure a device online, first connect the device to your computer via USB and
read the current configuration of the device.
Next modify the configuration and transfer the modified configuration back to the
device.
Offline configuration
T
o configure one or more devices offline, create a “Project device” in Safety Designer
without linking it to a physical device.
You can then configure the project device in Safety Designer and save the configuration
on the computer. You can transfer the configuration to different physical devices at a
later time.
Verified configurations
T
o use a configuration on a device for safety functions, you must verify the configura‐
tion once in Safety Designer.
If you modify a configuration, you must verify the configuration again before you can
use the configuration for safety functions.
Configuration for multiple devices
Y
ou can use a verified configuration for multiple devices. You can read the verified
configuration from one device using an NFC-capable mobile device and the Safety
Assistant app and transfer the configuration to other devices. The transferred configu‐
ration does not need to be verified again.
