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

  1. Install Automation Builder, as described in the installation guide.

  2. Activate a license.

  3. As of Automation Builder 2.3.0: Check that the safety engineering and the safety components are available⮫ “Safety engineering”.

  4. Create a new project and configure user management to limit access to safety modules and their configuration to safety personnel only.

  5. Install GSDML files to be able to configure 3rd party PROFIsafe F-Devices (optional step).

  6. 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”.

  7. Write your safety application program and pay attention to system start-up procedure.

  8. 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”.
