7.3 MultiTest- i and xt Interlocked Guard Examples
Example 1
In this example, the authorised user requires the door to be open will jogging the test stand.
A scenario where jogging the machine with the door open may be beneficial is when first
fitting a set of grips to the test stand.
As the interlock key switch is set to ‘0’ (override plug fitted for single column systems) the
guarding does not restrict the test stand’s movement. The system can be jogged with the
door open.
If the interlock key switch is set back to ‘1’ (override plug removed for single column test
stand and the guard loom connected) the operator will be unable to jog the machine with the
door open.
Example 2
In this example, the operator is attempting to jog the test stand with the door open, but the
stand will not move as the interlock system is active.
Emperor will display a pop-up window with the following message ‘Emergency stop button
pressed or interlock opened…’.
The test stand’s motor will remain restricted until the error condition is removed. To re-
enable the test stand’s motor drive, close the door and press ‘OK’ on the pop-up window
displayed in Emperor. See
Section 7.3.1
for more information.
