Direct Method Connection

This method is used when SafePLC2 is installed on the same computer as the KAS-IDE.

The procedure assumes you have already added a SafePLC2 project to the KAS project tree (see Direct Method Connection).

1. Double-click on the SafePLC2 node.
   Alternatively, right-click on SafePLC2 and select Open SafePLC2.
   
2. SafePLC2 and the Safety Project open.
   SafePLC2 automatically populates the safety devices from the EtherCAT Safe topology defined in the KAS-IDE.
3. Complete and save the SafePLC2 Safety Project.
4. Compile the Safety Project and download it to the SCU1 controller.
5. Return to the KAS-IDE to complete and compile the project.

   The KAS-IDE automatically creates the required black channel communication required for FSoE from the connected module information passed to the KAS-IDE from SafePLC2.

6. Download the compiled KAS application to the controller and run it.
   • The Black Channel will establish the Safety network connection when EtherCAT goes into the operational state.
   • The SCU transitions to Run mode.

• 
  
• • The KAS project supports a single SafePLC2 instance and project.
  • The SafePLC2 node cannot be deleted while the application is running.
  • The KAS-IDE cannot be closed while SafePLC2 is running with a synchronized project.
