1.4. Overview
Use the SI-RF Radio Frequency Safety Switch to monitor the position of a guard to detect its movement, opening, or removal. A "guard" can be
a gate, door, cover, panel, barrier or other physical means that separates an individual from a hazard. Safety switches will issue a signal to the
machine control system to prevent or stop (halt) hazardous situations when the guard is not in the proper position. The SI-RF Safety Switch is
designed for non-locking guarding applications, unless another means of locking is provided.
The SI-RF Safety Switch is considered a Type 4 interlocking device per ISO 14119 that are actuated by an electronic field interacting with the
coded actuator typically mounted on the guard. Different levels of coded sensors are available: low, high, and unique.
Applications involving the use of the SI-RF Safety Switch should take into consideration the following standards:
•
ISO 13849-1/2 - Safety of Machinery - Safety Related Parts of Control Systems
•
ISO 12100 - Safety of Machinery - Risk Assessment and Risk Reduction
•
ISO 14119 - Safety of Machinery - Interlocking Devices Associated with Guards
•
ANSI B11.0 - Safety of Machinery - General Requirements and Risk Assessment
•
ANSI B11.19 - Performance Criteria for Safeguarding
The SI-RF Safety Switch can be used individually or in series. A series string can consist of 1 to 32 units. The redundant safety inputs are only
used for the serial connection of sensors (for an individual unit or last in the string they get tied to +24 V dc). The redundant safety outputs can
be used for serial connection of sensors or for the connection to the safety related parts of the control system.
