    if memory serves you can only have 1 safe tool if you are using parallell safety (wired) if you are using ProfiSafe, FSoE or CIP you can have more than one.

    Yes, selecting safety tool requires safety interface that is fieldbus based. Cannot do that on controllers using X11+X13 as a safety interface.

    Also, do NOT map safety signals in WoV. Just leave them... And certainly do not map them to standard (not safety rated) IO.

    Those only need to be mapped on plc side ...


    And if you want to use SafeOp, you need to read SafeOp manual

    1) read pinned topic: READ FIRST...

    2) if you have an issue with robot, post question in the correct forum section... do NOT contact me directly

    3) read 1 and 2

    yes, i read the safe operation document but i don't get what i want. they talk about safe tool and tool change but not say how to do

    You still haven't answered what your Safety interface is.

    If you are using X11 and X13, you cannot change Safe Tools. Only one Safe Tool can ever be configured.

    If you have a FieldBus Safety Interface, then SafeOperation provides a number of Safety Inputs -- one input for each Safety Tool. Only one of these signals can be active at once -- activating more than one at once will cause a SafeOp error.

    Activating the Safety Input for Safety Tool 1 will activate that Safety Tool model. Activating the Safety Input for Safety Tool 2 will activate the model for the second Safety Tool.
