SG 400 Dual System configuration file modification
Hi Henrik,
one month ago we discussed about my Online replacement project (Safeguard 400 Dual System -> AC800M HI) and you gave me an advice to change the configuration parameter (Degraded_timer) from 150h to 2000h. I've studied this procedure in the manual. Due to the fact that I don't have a test Safeguard controller in my company, could you please see if the procedure I've written in details is the correct way to do it.
So, as I've concluded from the manual, the configuration parameters change procedure would be:
0. Make a SCA (safety controller A) DUAP with the old configuration parameters.
1. Modify the parameter "Degraded_timer" in the file that is located in SRCE directory (in my case file ESDA.sg). The modification will be done by editing ESDA.sg file with a WordPad/Notepad. I suppose I could also modify the file with the Safety Configuration Builder, but this is the faster way.
2. Isolate the SCA, and bring it to configuration mode (#ECONFIG).
3. Load the file ESDA.sg to SCA AAB_FILE (in my case named SCS12_SAFEGUARD) with a command: #LOADFILE SCS12_SAFEGUARD,SRCE:ESDA.sg.
4. Install the file to SCA by setting the SCS12_SAFEGUARD parameter "WR_PROT" (0 -> 1). After successfull loading, the parameter will automatically reset to 0?
5. Start the SCA (#DICONFIG, #DIBM, #DBL), and make a SCA DUAP with the new configuration parameters.
6. Deisolate SCA, and isolate SCB.
7. Delete the SCB application (#ECONFIG, #RECONFIG), and make a LOAP of the SCA DUAP with new configuration parameters (with ;U option). Or should I repeat steps 2-5 manually for the controller SCB?
8. Start the SCB (#DICONFIG, #DIBM, #DBL).
9. Deisolate the SCB.
- If the configuration file loading ends with errors, or I'd like to return to the old configuration parameters, I can always load the SCA DUAP I've made before I've loaded the new configuration file to controllers?
- I can also set the "Degraded_timer" parameter to 0, and degraded timer function will not be activated?
Thanks in advance,
Hrvoje

0. Make a SCA (safety controller A) DUAP with the old configuration parameters.

I suppose I could also modify the file with the Safety Configuration Builder, but this is the faster way. Best to use Configuration builder, to see which parameter you change
2. Isolate the SCA, and bring it to configuration mode (#ECONFIG).
3. Load the file ESDA.sg to SCA AAB_FILE (in my case named SCS12_SAFEGUARD) with a command: #LOADFILE SCS12_SAFEGUARD,SRCE:ESDA.sg.
4. Install the file to SCA by setting the SCS12_SAFEGUARD parameter "WR_PROT" (0 -> 1). After successfull loading, the parameter will automatically reset to 0? YES
5. Start the SCA (#DICONFIG, #DIBM, #DBL), and make a SCA DUAP with the new configuration parameters.
6. Deisolate SCA, and isolate SCB.
7. Delete the SCB application (#ECONFIG, #RECONFIG), and make a LOAP of the SCA DUAP with new configuration parameters (with ;U option). Or should I repeat steps 2-5 manually for the controller SCB? Fine with SCA DUAP
8. Start the SCB (#DICONFIG, #DIBM, #DBL).
9. Deisolate the SCB.
