Menu Item “Duplicate”

General

The menu item “Duplicate” allows you to copy the eSM parameters and parameter values of a safety module eSM to another safety module eSM.

WARNING
	INEFFECTIVE SAFETY-RELATED FUNCTION AND/OR UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Verify that the duplicated configuration is only used for the same purposes as the original configuration and only with an identical machine. Document the results of the duplication procedure in compliance with all regulations, standards, and process definitions applicable to your machine/process. Commission or recommission a machine/process using a duplicated configuration pursuant to all regulations, standards, and process definitions applicable to your machine/process. Ensure that your overall machine/process in which a duplicated configuration is used is properly certified and/or approved according to all standards, regulations, and directives applicable at the installation site of the machine/process. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING

INEFFECTIVE SAFETY-RELATED FUNCTION AND/OR UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Verify that the duplicated configuration is only used for the same purposes as the original configuration and only with an identical machine.
Document the results of the duplication procedure in compliance with all regulations, standards, and process definitions applicable to your machine/process.
Commission or recommission a machine/process using a duplicated configuration pursuant to all regulations, standards, and process definitions applicable to your machine/process.
Ensure that your overall machine/process in which a duplicated configuration is used is properly certified and/or approved according to all standards, regulations, and directives applicable at the installation site of the machine/process.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

This function can be used, for example, in the following scenarios:

Production of multiple, identical machines
Replacement of a safety module eSM

The eSM parameters are transferred from a safety module eSM to a storage medium or from a storage medium to a safety module eSM in the form of a file.

It is not possible to modify individual parameter values with the “Duplicate” function.

Prerequisites for Duplication

eSM parameters can be duplicated under the following conditions:

Expert mode must be active in the commissioning software.
The eSM standard password must have been entered.

Refer to Menu Item “Change Password” for information on passwords.

Password for “Duplicate”

Enter your eSM standard password to access the function “Duplicate”. The eSM standard password is verified by the safety module eSM. If the password is correct, you can duplicate the eSM parameters. Refer to Menu Item “Change Password” for information on passwords.

When you duplicate the eSM parameters, the eSM parameter password that is used to modify the eSM parameter values is saved along with the parameters. You can only modify parameter values after having entered the eSM parameter password.

Transferring an eSM Parameter Set

eSM parameters are not stored on the memory card in the drive.

Verify correct commissioning before duplication.

A checksum is saved along with the configuration file to allow for identification of the duplicated eSM parameters. The checksum is displayed for verification purposes before an eSM parameter set is transferred to a safety module eSM.
