ical AND Connection
A logical AND connection means that the G9SX outputs a safety
signal “a” to another G9SX, and that G9SX creates the logical AND of
safety signal “a” and safety signal “
b
.” The safety output of the
G9SX-NSA222-T0

@
with the logical AND connection shown in the
following diagram is “a” AND “
b
.”
This is illustrated using the application in the following diagram as an
example. The equipment here has two hazards identified as Ro
b
ot 1
and Ro
b
ot 2, and it is equipped with Non-contact Door Switches and
an emergency stop
b
utton as safety measures. If the door to Ro
b
ot 2
is opened, only Ro
b
ot 2 is stopped (i.e., a partial stop). If the door to
Ro
b
ot 1 is opened or the emergency stop
b
utton is pressed,
b
oth
Ro
b
ot 1 and Ro
b
ot 2 stop (i.e., a complete stop).
The actual situation using a G9SX for this application is shown in this
example.
Note:
The logical AND setting on the G9SX-NS202-
@
must
b
e set to
AND (ena
b
led).
*
A manual reset is required when an emergency stop is used.
