Validation report
11.1
Overview
A validation report is available to assist users in the validation of their safety system. It is
initiated from CTSafePro. It provides a report of the configuration of the SI-Safety
Module. The report is generated as an Excel spreadsheet.
11.2
Report generation
The SI-Safety Module must be connected to a computer running CTSafePro using a CT
USB cable. To generate the report, select the connection window, click on "Connect",
"Validation" and "Generate Report".
11.3
Report format
The report provides the following information.
•
Three pages of header data
•
Sensor configuration
•
PLC program listing
•
Input/output configuration
•
Function block configuration
11.3.1 Header data
The header data requires some manual data entry. This can be entered using Excel or
hand written on the printed report.
The first page allows for entry of the project name, customer and date. There is also
provision for acceptance sign off details. The second page allows for entry of general
details about the system.
The last page of the header provides check-boxes for individual verification of the
technical safety test.
11.3.2 Sensor configuration
The configuration of the working section and each encoder is provided. There are
individual verification check-boxes for each configurable parameter to confirm that it
meets the requirements of the safety design.
If a single encoder is used, the report will record this as two encoders with identical
NOTE
configuration. This is due to the fact that a single encoder signal must be connected to
both encoder inputs In order to minimize the effect of electrical noise.
11.3.3 PLC program listing
The PLC program is printed in Instruction List format.
11.3.4 Input / Output configuration
The configuration of each digital input and output is provided. There are individual
verification check-boxes for each configurable parameter to confirm that it meets the
requirements of the safety design.
If a single encoder is used, the report will record this as two encoders with identical
NOTE
configuration. This is due to the fact that a single encoder signal must be connected to
both encoder inputs In order to minimize the effect of electrical noise.
11.3.5 Function block configuration
The configuration of each safety function block is provided. There are individual
verification check-boxes for each configurable parameter to confirm that it meets the
requirements of the safety design.
