2. Correct use
The safety system MGBS consists at minimum of one interlocking module MGBS-P-I-… and one handle module MGBS-H…
and is an interlocking device without guard locking (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 dangerous machine functions
from occurring while the guard is open. A stop command is triggered if the guard is opened during the dangerous machine
function.
This means:
Ì Starting commands that cause a dangerous machine function must become active only when the guard is closed.
Ì Opening the guard triggers a stop command.
Ì Closing a guard must not cause automatic starting of a dangerous machine function. A separate start command must
be issued. For exceptions, refer to EN ISO 12100 or relevant C-standards.
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
Ì EN ISO 12100
Ì IEC 62061
Correct use includes observing the relevant requirements for installation and operation, particularly based on the following
standards:
Ì EN ISO 13849-1
Ì EN ISO 14119
Ì EN 60204-1
The interlocking module is allowed to be operated only in conjunction with the intended EUCHNER handle module and the
related connection components from EUCHNER. On the use of other handle modules or other connection components,
EUCHNER provides no warranty for safe function.
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 6. Technical
data on page 24 ).
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.
