This chapter describes the Safety Module, the meaning of the display- and operating
elements and explains the type key on the module.
7.1
General information
The Safety Module monitors the drive’s motion. It monitors the valid data of the drive’s
motion detection subject to the required safety functions. The drive functions and the
drive control are executed in the controller. The drive functions are continued only then,
if the Safety Module conforms with the motions, which are executed.
The safety functions (see
), which are supported by the module, can be
activated via the integrated digital module inputs as well as via the safe data telegrams.
The Safety Module has two independent and safe pulse inhibits for two drive axes on the
output side. These are enabled either by a safety function or by a safety-relevant error.
This puts the drive into the status STO (Safe Torque Off) (refer to the description of the
interface of the safe pulse inhibit in chapter
Precondition at STO is a brake, which can be connected optionally. For this, the brake
supply voltage is led internal via the Safety Module and the controller to the connection
for the brake, which is there. Now the accordant brake supply can be switched off safely
via a safe power output in the Safety Module.
The parameterization tool ProSafePara is used for the parameterization and the
configuration of the Safety Module or the inputs and outputs. A detailed description of this
tool is to be found in the corresponding online-help and in the application manual.
7.2
Compatibility list
The Safety Module can be operated in combination with b maXX 5000-type controllers,
which have been released by Baumüller GmbH only.
Thereby, the safety level, which was defined in the type code of the controller, must
accord to the safety level of the Safety Module at minimum.
