For the implementation of a new safety application the required safety devices are selected from the icon library, configured and assigned to the respective enabling path. Following the successful configuration and download, the safety monitor and the safety devices can be tested and monitored with asimon. Besides the classic representation in table form, a representation as logical diagram (FUP) can be chosen as well. The following functions are available with the asimon software: • Configuration of different safety devices • Configuration of different filter functions for bouncing safety guards • Configuration of start-modules • Configuration logical combinations (AND, OR, RS Flip-Flops) • Configuration of the feedback loops • Configuration of the operating methods • Configuration of the system-modules • Print out of Configuration protocol Asimon can be used offline as well as online during development and project planning.
