1.6  Warning about misuse

In case of improper use or manipulation of the safety 

switchgear, personal hazards or damages to machinery 

or plant components cannot be excluded. The relevant 

requirements of the standard ISO 14119 must be observed.

1.7  Exclusion of liability

We shall accept no liability for damages and malfunctions resulting from 

defective mounting or failure to comply with this operating instructions 

manual. The manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages 

resulting from the use of unauthorised spare parts or accessories. 

For safety reasons, invasive work on the device as well as arbitrary 

repairs, conversions and modifications to the device are strictly 

forbidden; the manufacturer shall accept no liability for damages 

resulting from such invasive work, arbitrary repairs, conversions and/or 

modifications to the device.

the standard version.

2.3  Purpose

The safety sensor is used in AS interface systems for monitoring the 

position of movable safety guards in accordance with ISO 14119 and 

IEC 60947-5-3. The combination of the BNS 260 AS safety sensor, 

the BPS 260-1/-2 actuator and the ASM safety monitor ensures the 

safe monitoring of the condition of the corresponding safety guard. To 

actuate the safety sensor, only the coded BPS 260-1/-2 actuators must 

be used.

The safety switchgears are classified according to ISO 14119 

as type 4 switching devices.

The safety function consists in safely switching off the code 

transmission when the safety guard is opened and maintaining the safe 

switched off condition for as long as the safety guard is open.

An AS-Interface Safety at Work component functions on the basis of 

an individual code generator (8 x 4 bit). This safety code is cyclically 

transmitted over the AS-i network and monitored by the safety monitor.

The component status can be evaluated through a PLC with AS-

Interface master. The safety-related functions are enabled by means of 

the AS-i safety monitor.

LED display

The LEDs have the following meaning (to EN 62026-2):

Green LED

AS-Interface supply voltage

Red LED

AS-Interface communication error or slave address = 0

The user must evaluate and design the safety chain in 

accordance with the relevant standards and the required 

safety level.
