System Overview
Safety-related Stop Function Initiated by a Safeguard
The Guardmaster dual-input safety relay monitors the status of a safety input device, for example a SensaGuard switch.
When the input device is tripped (guard door opened), the safety relay de-energizes its two safety outputs and sends a
safety stop command downstream to the Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module via its SWS. After the
100 ms configured delay time, the Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module deactivates its safety outputs,
which remove power from the drive's (PowerFlex 525 or PowerFlex 527 drive) STO inputs. The drive disables its output
power transistors, leaving the hazardous motion to coast to a stop. When the input device is returned to its safe state (guard
door closed), and the reset button is pressed and released properly, the Guardmaster dual-input safety relay’s safety outputs
energize, the Guardmaster multifunction delay expansion module energizes its safety outputs, and the drive's STO inputs
are powered. The hazardous motion can then be restarted by pressing a PAC-controlled Start button.
Prevention of an Unexpected Start-up
The Guardmaster dual-input safety relay cannot be reset while its input device is in a tripped (guard door open) state. The
Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module cannot reset until the Guardmaster dual-input safety relay is reset, the
drive's STO inputs remain off, and the hazardous motion cannot be restarted. When the input device is returned to its safe
state (guard door closed), and the reset button is pressed and released properly, the Guardmaster dual-input safety relay’s
safety outputs energize, the Guardmaster multifunction-delay expansion module energizes its safety outputs, and the drive's
STO inputs are powered. The hazardous motion can then be restarted by pressing a PAC-controlled Start button.
