Setting Up the Safety Application
In the File menu, click New Project to create a new project.
In the New Project dialog, select an Empty project, or Empty Safety project (empty project with template for safety user management) and click the OK button.
In the Devices view, select the project (in the example: Safety_Project) to add the planned standard controllers (fieldbus master) to the project and click Add Device in the context menu.
Select each controller that should receive a safety controller.
Add the safety controller to selected standard controllers. To do this, select the standard controller, click Add Device in the context menu, and select the safety controller.
If you selected Empty Safety project in step 2, then now enter the "Owner" in the Current user field of the Log In dialog. The password is blank. Click the OK button.
When using the template with Safety user management, perform the additional steps in Further procedure for safety project with user management template.
Tip
When creating a safety project it is recommended to select the Empty Safety project template in the New project dialog. This template is an empty project with safety user configuration for the CODESYS Safety Extension user management.
Important
If you select Empty project as the template, you will have to completely build the user management yourself.
For a description of the user management and the safety user configuration, see: Setting Up User Management in the Project.
Tip
When selecting the Empty Safety project template, the Log In dialog appears when inserting the safety controller. The only users created are "Owner", "saf" and "ext"; the password is empty.
