What it is and what it does
The Siemens 3RK1802-2FB06-0GA0 is the ASIsafe CD (V2 plus) — the parameterization, commissioning, and diagnostic software for the AS-Interface safety monitor. It ships on CD-ROM as a single license for one installation, and includes the ASIMON V2 plus configuration software plus documentation and a diagnostic package. It runs on Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, ME, 2000 Professional, and XP Professional — a range that covers legacy PC-based engineering stations still common in plants with AS-Interface safety networks.
Key features and what they mean for the buyer
The software handles commissioning and parameterization of the AS-Interface safety monitor, plus diagnostics and project planning — so it covers the full lifecycle from initial setup through ongoing fault-finding on the safety bus. Minimum hardware requirements are modest: 800 MHz processor, 32 MB RAM, 32 MB hard disk space, and a 256-color graphics card — meaning it will run on older laptops or panel-mount PCs that are often dedicated to safety tooling. The software is available in German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, and Swedish — a multilingual install that suits global OEMs or sites with mixed-language engineering teams.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The 3RK1802-2FB06-0GA0 is listed as current production. This is a standard catalog item that Siemens continues to support for AS-Interface safety monitor commissioning. Because it is a software license on CD-ROM, sourcing is straightforward: quoted to order against an RFQ. No hardware lead-time variability; the constraint is the license key delivery.
