1.1 Basics System Softwaredescription
The functions of the PNOZmulti system
are defined in the PNOZmulti
Configurator software.
Procedure
In the PNOZmulti Configurator, the
first step is to enter the units that
are to be used in the safety system.
Each unit must be given a resource
label.
When all the units are selected, the
interface appears for entering the
circuit diagram. The circuit diagram
describes the application for which
the safety system is to be used. It is
here that you determine which inputs
are assigned to which safetyrelated
or standard functions.
The inputs and/or the results of the
safety-related or standard functions
can be linked through logic functions.
The results of the logic functions
or the results of the safetyrelated
or standard functions are
channelled to the outputs on the
PNOZmulti units.
The circuit diagram is generated on
a graphical interface. Symbols are
provided for the safety-related or
standard functions, logic functions
and the various output types. These
are simply dragged on to a workspace,
configured and interconnected.
Once the circuit diagram is complete,
the data must be saved and
downloaded to the base unit. The
circuit diagram, unit configuration
and all the data that has been entered
are stored within a project.
When the project is saved, various
passwords can be used to protect it
from unauthorised access.
Once it is saved, the project has to
be downloaded to the base unit. To
do this, the project data is downloaded
on to a chip card. The data
is either downloaded via the RS 232
interface or via a chip card reader.
After downloading, a test must be
performed to check that the safety
devices function correctly.
