1.3 Master-side TSI with Safety Switch
To prevent an unintended Tool release, the electrical power to the unlatch valve circuit is routed through
a safety switch that is mounted to the Master. With the transponder, actuator, or trip dog mounted on the
Tool Stand, the safety switch will insure that a Tool can only be released at the Tool Stand.
Sections
provide a detailed description of the safety circuit.
The safety switch is connected to the Master module via a 5-pin M12 connector that is mounted to the
side of the module. A teach plug, can be connected to the 5-pin M12 TSI connector to override the TSI
circuit during setup and integration. Refer to
Section 6—Recommended Spare Parts and Accessories
Figure 1.3—Discrete Control Modules with Teach Plug
The VB12-M, VB13-M, and VB12-T support three types of safety switches:
Klaschka Wident Sensor 13.28-06 and Klaschka Sident 13.14.68 Transponder - (RFID-type)
Sipha Sensor S22 and Sipha Actuator S20 - (Magnetic-type)
Euchner Safety Switch NZ1HS-3131- (Mechanical-type)
Note
: With the RFID-type sensor, always use the safety switch in conjunction with a proximity sensor.
Due to its fairly wide sensing range, the safety switch is not intended to replace a Tool Stand sensor or
switch to signal the robot that the Tool is positioned in the Tool Stand and can be released.
