Offline Parameterization with the Safe PLC Engineering Tool

The F I/O module supports offline parameterization directly via the general station description (GSD) file. No direct communication between the Safe PLC Engineering Tool and the F I/O modules is required for offline parameterization.

The iParameters are configured in the Safe PLC Engineering Tool and saved together with the device application in the safe controller. When the safe controller is switched on, the iParameters are transferred from the safe controller to the F I/O modules.

After maintenance or replacement of the F I/O module, manual reparameterization is not required.

Proceed as follows for offline parameterization:

  1. Valid/correct GSD file
  2. Safe PLC Engineering Tool
  3. WAGO Safety Editor 75x
  1. In the Safe PLC Engineering Tool, select the submodule named “.... iPar by GSD...” for the F I/O module.
  2. Configuration of the iParameters in the Safe PLC Engineering Tool is enabled.
  3. Now configure the iParameters.
  4. Select the F I/O module in the Safe PLC Engineering Tool to calculate the CRCs with the WAGO Safety Editor 75x.
  5. Launch the WAGO Safety Editor via the “Calculate CRC” TCI link.
  6. The WAGO Safety Editor 75x is started in “OFFLINE” operating mode.
  7. The configured iParameters are transferred to the WAGO Safety Editor 75x.
  8. The transferred iParameters are displayed in the WAGO Safety Editor 75x and checked for plausibility.
  9. Parameter-dependent errors are displayed.
  10. Alternatively, the WAGO Safety Editor 75x can be started manually in offline mode. In this case, the iParameters must be set manually in the WAGO Safety Editor 75x.
  11. If necessary, correct the configuration of the iParameters in the Safe PLC Engineering Tool.
  12. If no errors exist, start verification of the “iPar CRC” and “Com CRC” by clicking the “CRCs” button.
  13. All iParameters are displayed again in the “CRCs” dialog that opens.
  14. Compare the values of the displayed iParameters line by line in the WAGO Safety Editor 75x with the values set in the Safe PLC Engineering Tool and verify them.
  15. This ensures error-free transmission.
  16. When all iParameters are verified, the “iPar CRC” and “Com CRC” are automatically calculated and displayed.
  17. Transfer the “iPar-CRC”(dec) and “Com-CRC”(dec) to the parameter view of the Safe PLC Engineering Tool.
  18. Transfer the “iPar CRC” (hex) to the configuration parameters of the safe communication (F parameters) of the Safe PLC Engineering Tool.
