7.3.3 Testing the configuration
Before you can switch the MSS to safety mode, you must carry out a full function test of the
configuration and then release the configuration.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage.
Can Cause Death, Serious Injury, or Property Damage.
Carrying out a function test of the configuration
A configuration can only be released if a complete function test of the configuration has
been successfully completed (hardware configuration and parameterization of the safety
functions).
Project printouts for the test
Use the printouts of the project to support the test.
Step Action Result
1 Open the parameter file containing the configuration that
you have downloaded to the MSS.
The configuration is displayed. You are offline.
2 Activate "Target system" > "Prepare configuration test". The "Prepare configuration test" dialog box opens.
3 Set the interface via which you have access to the device
(e.g. COM1) and confirm with "OK".
The project printouts are generated. The project
switches to online mode.
● The printout contains all the configuration data stored in the safety relay.
● The configuration CRC is given on each page of the printout in the tabular footer. The
printout is thus always uniquely assigned to one configuration and can later be used for
the plant documentation.
● If deviations or errors occur in these checks, test the configuration and wiring and start
commissioning again.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage.
Can Cause Death, Serious Injury, or Property Damage.
Testing the configuration on the MSS
Checking the printout alone is not sufficient; the configuration must be tested on the
MSS.
Switching to test mode
The MSS can be switched to "Test mode" for the purpose of carrying out the full function
test. Outputs of functions can be forced in this operating mode.
