PLUS+1® Service Tool
Contact and reference material are available regarding which versions of PLUS+1® Service Tool carry the IEC 61508:2010 support tool certification.
Please contact the PLUS+1® Helpdesk.
https://www.danfoss.com/en/products/software/dps/plus1-software-services-support-and-training/plus1- support-and-services
For complete details regarding PLUS+1® GUIDE and PLUS+1® Service Tool IEC 61508:2010 support tool certificates, see:
PLUS+1® GUIDE User Manual, AQ152886483724 https://www.danfoss.com/en/search/?filter=type%3Adocumentation%2Csegment%3Adps
Your responsibility when designing a PLUS+1® Service Tool application is to include the checking and the error handling needed to reduce risks in normal and abnormal operating conditions.
The applications that you create with the PLUS+1® Service Tool typically control heavy, powerful, and mobile off-road equipment such as tractors, cranes, and harvesters.
The PLUS+1® Service Tool has no automatic protections against the risks, such as from bugs in the PLUS +1® Service Tool software, errors in the PLUS+1® Service Tool user guides, or incompatibilities between software versions of the PLUS+1® Service Tool.
You must design and test your application to reduce these risks.

User Manual
PLUS+1® Service Tool
General information
The following are some items to consider when developing fault checking and error handling for your application.
Consider:
•How the machine is normally used
•Possible operator errors and their consequences
•Industry safety standards and legal requirements
•Input and output failures and their consequences including:
‒Joystick, sensor, and other inputs suddenly going to 100 % or to 0 %
‒Outputs that control machinery direction, speed, and force suddenly changing direction or going to 100 % or to 0 %
•Decide how likely each failure is
‒The more likely a failure, the more you need protect against the consequences of the failure
•The sequence of events and consequences of a fault or error
•The sequence of events and consequences of an emergency stop
W Warning
Under normal operating conditions, using this type of machinery always involves risk of personal injury and equipment damage. Abnormal operating conditions increase the risk of personal injury and equipment damage.
Once you have created an application, you have the responsibility to download and test the application.
You should only download your application to hardware or change software parameters while the vehicle is not in operation. After downloading, test application operation under normal and abnormal operating conditions.
You should make sure that:
•Individual inputs produce expected outputs.
•Combinations of inputs do not produce unexpected or dangerous outputs.
•Fault handling and error checking work as designed.

•RP1210B gateways may not support all baudrates that the built-in gateways support.
‒RP1210B gateways can be used if they support the generic CAN protocol.
•RP1210A gateways only supports baudrates equal to 250k. RP1210A gateways can be used if they:
‒Support the generic CAN protocol
‒Support blocking calls
‒Use the same endianness (byte order) for CAN messages as RP1210B
•Activate RP1210 gateways by selecting the appropriate DeviceID in the submenu under the gateway submenu. All possible device IDs will be listed for selection. Devices do not need to be connected to the computer to be listed.
When an RP1210B or RP1210A gateway has been properly installed, it will be automatically added to the list of installed gateways under Communication > Gateway after the PLUS+1® Service Tool is restarted.
The name of the new gateway consists of the name of the standard implemented (RP1210B or RP1210A) plus the name of the gateway vendor as written in the vendor supplied .ini file. The order of gateways in the list is determined by the global RP121032.ini file.
Configure an RP1210 gateway using its .ini file. It is important that the .ini file follows the standard.
If the PLUS+1® Service Tool has problems reading the .ini file, an error or a warning message will occur. If an error is found, it will not be possible to use the gateway from the PLUS+1® Service Tool. If warnings are found it will still be possible to use the gateway, but a communication slowdown will occur. This slowdown can be overridden by the user. See Using Reset Gateway in advanced settings on page 13 to fix a gateway error manually.
Diagnose will be a choice under Gateway to select to examine any detected errors and warnings.
Advanced users may wish to use the View RP1210 parse log to troubleshoot RP1210 gateways that may not be working well with the PLUS+1® Service Tool.
Select Communication > Gateway > Advanced > RP1210 Log from the PLUS+1® Service Tool window menu.
The contents shown in the RP1210 Parse Results window is generated from the code and never stored in a specific file.
A gateway that does not implement RP1210B, but only RP1210A will generate a warning message.
