General Instructions on Using the Parameters Editor

Use of the Parameters Editor begins with the table at the top of the view.

1. Select the Axis to use the parameter, e.g. Axis 1.

   Choosing Common or a specific axis number will result in different Categories being available.

2. Select which of the safety Categories to define, e.g. Safe Stop.

   Making a selection in Categories provides a refined selection, focused on that category's functions.

3. Select the safety parameter, e.g. SS1 (Safe Stop 1).

   Once the parameter is set, a fourth category, Instances may be available.

4. Make a selection from the Instance, e.g. Instance 2.

   

5. Click on the Validation button to run a plausibility check.

   Any issues will be reported in the Validation Results. There are links in each issue which will open the configuration to fix the issue.

   

These steps define a fully configured safety parameter.
