Note A system with several devices (for example a cascaded
system) is in general configured in one single configuration
wizard or one single dialog box with file cards. Several
runs through the setting dialog boxes will be completed.
Respectively the file cards will be repeatedly offered.

Configuration Protocol
As soon as the configuration protocol or the view containing the
configuration draft is displayed, the standard menus in the software
are hidden. Only the Project menu with the appropriate buttons
will then be available. The navigation area of the SCD can no longer
be used.
After the configuration data has been transferred to one or several
devices, the configuration protocol will be shown automatically.
During this process the actual data is read out from the device and
displayed.
If the data read does not match the data in the configuration draft,
it will be shown in black. If the data read out differs from that in the
configuration draft, it will be shown in red. In this case the
configuration protocol cannot be released.
You can print and save the configuration protocol. You can also
insert a comment via an additional dialog box. This comment will
also be printed and saved.
Note The new configuration will be activated on the device only
after release. If you reject the configuration, then the
device or device cluster receives an invalid configuration.
The commands necessary to carry out the above-described
functions are found in the Project menu and in the context
menus of the devices.
• Carefully check each individual item of the configuration
protocol.
• Some configuration protocols for devices have several pages. In
this case page to the previous/following pages using the buttons
at the bottom of the scroll bar or using the Page up/Page down
keys.

• Also carefully check the following pages of the configuration
protocol. The Acknowledge button only becomes available
when you have paged through to the last page of the
configuration protocol.
• Click the Acknowledge button. The configuration data will be
loaded to the device/devices and initialized with the new
configuration.
If the loading has been successful, an appropriate message will
appear.
• Click the OK button. The configuration loaded to the device/
devices is now active.
• Test whether the device(s) monitor the machine or equipment as
you expect. Only after completing this step, go to real-time
operation.
User Groups
There are various user groups in the devices from Allen-Bradley
Guardmaster Safety Systems. These user groups have different
authorizations, e.g. for transferring configurations to the devices or
to perform diagnostics on the devices.
If the devices in a project have been identified by the SCD software,
or the SCD is linked to the devices for a project, you can change to
these user groups. When the SCD is started, you will automatically
IMPORTANT Carefully check the configuration protocol!
Carefully check to make sure that the
configuration data displayed comply with those
you actually wanted to enter. Check for typing
and transfer errors!
Once you have successfully transferred the
configuration, the machine or equipment must
be checked and released by specialist
personnel.
