Safety
Parameter
Description
Safety network number
Specifies the number used to prevent the acceptance of connection requests that have been misdirected by an intervening bridge device. Safety devices connected to the same bridge device do not need to be on the same safety network; they may have different safety network numbers. This field appears shaded in the Run, Safety Locked, and Safety Signature modes. The valid values are:
  • Time-based
    : The safety network number is generated based on the creation date and time (to the millisecond) of the device.
  • Manual
    : Enter a number from 1 through 9999 per network type.
