This is the web edition of the original ⮫ AC500-S safety user manual, version 1.3.2. This web edition is provided for quick reference only. The original safety user manual must be used to meet functional safety application requirements. |
The engineering workflow presented in this chapter describes only the steps needed to instantiate, configure and program safety modules and those non-safety modules which are a part of the "black channel"⮫ [2] in the safe communication part.
⮫ More details on these steps.
⮫ All other non-safety modules are separately covered here.
AC500-S system configuration and programming workflow
-
Install Automation Builder, as described in the installation guide.
-
Activate a license.
-
As of Automation Builder 2.3.0: Check that the safety engineering and the safety components are available⮫ “Safety engineering”.
-
Create a new project and configure user management to limit access to safety modules and their configuration to safety personnel only.
-
Install GSDML files to be able to configure 3rd party PROFIsafe F-Devices (optional step).
-
Instantiate and configure safety modules and non-safety modules. Define variable names in accordance to the safety programming guidelines⮫ “Instantiation and configuration of safety modules / definition of variable names”.
-
Write your safety application program and pay attention to system start-up procedure.
-
Check your program and system configuration. Use the SCA tool for static code analysis of your program⮫ “Safety code analysis tool”. Follow the procedures for checking your configuration⮫ “Checking of program and system configuration”.
