5. Configuration Tool for MSR42
5.1. Introduction
The “MSR42” sub program of the Configuration and Diagnostic Software Tool is used to configure and diagnose MSR42 safety controllers as well as
the connected GuardShield Micro 400 safety light curtain..
Figure 18: MSR42 can be configured to monitor various safety components
MSR42 safety controllers are supplied from the factory with a basic configuration. This basic configuration will satisfy the requirements of many typical
GuardShield Micro 400 safety light curtains on/off applications with no configuration necessary. See the MSR42 user manual for more details. To
satisfy more advanced applications the MSR42 Configuration tool and an Optical Interface make it easy for authorized personnel to configure the
MSR42 for integrated operation with other safety devices such as E-Stops, safety interlocks, additional OSSD devices, or functions such as EDM, safety
override, blanking or muting.
A customer specific configuration has to be downloaded to the MSR42 safety controller. It is carried out with the Optical Interface (See chapter 3 on
page 8).
5.2. Starting MSR42 Configuration Tool
The Configuration Tool starts with the selection window ( Figure 9). First select your preferred language with the pull-down option “language”. Then
select the MSR42 icon and the welcome window for this product appears ( Figure 19).
