Safety System MGBS-P-L.-AR…
EN
2. Correct use
The safety system MGBS consists of a locking module MGBS-P-L.-AR… and a handle module MGBS-H… and is an interlock-
ing device with guard locking solenoid (type 4). Devices with unicode evaluation possess a high coding level, devices with
multicode evaluation possess a low coding level.
In combination with a movable guard and the machine control, this safety component prevents the guard from being opened
while a dangerous machine function is being performed.
This means:
Ì
Starting commands that cause a dangerous machine function must become active only when the guard is closed and
locked.
Ì
The guard locking must not be unlocked until the dangerous machine function has ended.
Ì
Closing and locking a guard must not cause automatic starting of a dangerous machine function. A separate start com-
mand must be issued. For exceptions, refer to EN ISO 12100 or relevant C-standards.
Devices from this series are also suitable for process protection.
Before the device is used, a risk assessment must be performed on the machine, e.g. in accordance with the following
standards:
Ì
EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery – Safety-related parts of control systems – Part 1: General principles for design
Ì
EN ISO 12100, Safety of machinery – General principles for design – Risk assessment and risk reduction
Ì
IEC 62061, Safety of machinery – Functional safety of safety-related electrical, electronic and programmable electronic
control systems
Correct use includes observing the relevant requirements for installation and operation, particularly based on the following
standards:
Ì
EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery – Safety-related parts of control systems – Part 1: General principles for design
Ì
EN ISO 14119, Safety of machinery – Interlocking devices associated with guards – Principles for design and selection
Ì
EN 60204-1, Safety of machinery – Electrical equipment of machines – Part 1: General requirements
The safety system MGBS is only allowed to be operated in conjunction with the intended EUCHNER handle modules and the
related connection components and accessories from EUCHNER.
On the modification of system components, EUCHNER provides no warranty for function.
AR
Locking modules with the configuration MGBS-P-….-AR can be integrated into an AR switch chain. Connection of
several devices in an AR switch chain is permitted only using devices intended for series connection in an AR switch
chain. Check the operating instructions for the related device. A maximum of 20 safety switches are allowed to be
operated in a switch chain.
Important!
Ì
The user is responsible for the proper integration of the device into a safe overall system. For this
purpose, the overall system must be validated, e.g. in accordance with EN ISO 13849-2.
Ì
Correct use requires observing the permissible operating parameters (see chapter
Ì
If a data sheet is included with the product, the information on the data sheet applies.
Ì
It is only allowed to use components that are permissible in accordance with the table below.
