Confirm the Project

You must print or view the project, and compare the uploaded safety I/O and controller configurations, safety data, and safety task program logic to make sure that the correct safety components were downloaded, tested, and retained in the safety application program.
If your application program contains a safety Add-On Instruction that has been sealed with an instruction signature, you must also compare the instruction signature, date/time, and safety instruction signature to the values you recorded when you sealed the Add-On Instruction.
The following steps illustrate one method for confirming the project.
  1. While online with the controller, save the project.
  2. Answer Yes to the Upload Tag Values prompt.
  3. With the
    Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
     application offline, save the project with a new name, such as Offlineprojectname.acd, where 'projectname' is the name of your project.
    This file is the new tested primary project file.
  4. Close the project.
  5. Move the original project archive file out of its current directory.
    You can delete this file or store it in an archival location.
    This step is required because if the
    Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
     application finds the projectname.acd in this directory, it correlates it with the controller project and does not perform an upload.
  6. Upload the project from the controller.
  7. Save the uploaded project as Onlineprojectname.acd, where 'projectname' is the name of your project.
  8. Answer Yes to the Upload Tag Values prompt.
  9. Use the
    Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
     Program Compare utility to perform these comparisons:
    1. Compare all properties of the controller and
      CIP Safety™
       I/O devices.
    2. Compare all properties of the safety task, safety programs, and safety routines.
    3. Compare all logic in the safety routines.
  10. Verify that all controller and I/O configuration fulfills the requirements of your application specification.
