Verify Your DeviceNet Safety Configuration
The Safety Device Verification Wizard, accessed from RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet, guides you through the process of verifying the
configuration of your safety devices and provides the means for
Safety-Locking those devices. The verification process includes upload
and comparison of the configuration stored in the device and the
configuration stored in the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet configuration
file. The configuration is displayed in a report to facilitate visual
verification and record keeping.
