2 Overview
General description
ABB/Jokab Safety adaptor units are used to adapt conventional safety sensors where the safety relies on e.g. one-
or two-channel static signals, OSSD outputs, or short circuit detection, to the dynamic safety circuit monitored by a
Vital safety module or Pluto safety-PLC.
Tina 3A and Tina 3Aps are used to adapt safety sensors with mechanical contacts to the dynamic safety circuit.
Examples of such safety sensors are emergency stops and switches or light curtains and light beams with internal
relay outputs.
Tina 3A is intended for safety sensors prepared with an M20 threaded connector. This allows easy installation of
the adaptor unit within the physical enclosure of the safety sensor while keeping the status LED visible on the
outside of the housing. Tina 3A is also equipped with a 5-pole M12 connector for easy connection to the dynamic
safety circuit. Tina 3Aps is identical to Tina 3A but is also equipped with two additional connection cables for
external power supply.
The Tina3A/Aps adaptor unit is intended for use in safety circuits in accordance with EN 60204-1.
Warning!
In order to maintain the highest safety level and reduce the risk of electrical interference the unit must be
installed within the same physical encapsulation as the safety device. The connection cables should be as short as
possible (max 150 mm).
