6.3 Safety-sensors with serial diagnostic function
(only 8-pin version)
Safety sensors with serial diagnostic cable have a serial input and
output instead of the conventional diagnostic output If RSS / CSS
safety sensors are wired in series, the safety channels as well as the
inputs and outputs of the diagnostic channels are wired in series
Max 31 safety switchgear with serial diagnostics can be wired in
series For the evaluation of the serial diagnostics line either the
PROFIBUS-Gateway SD-I-DP-V0-2 or the Universal-Gateway SD-
I-U- are used This SD-Gateway is integrated as a slave in an existing
field bus system In this way, the diagnostic signals can be evaluated
by means of a PLC The necessary software for the integration of the
SD-Gateway is available for download at wwwschmersalnet
The response data and the diagnostic data are automatically and
permanently written in the assigned input byte of the PLC for each
safety sensor in the series-wired chain
The request data for each safety sensor are transmitted to the device
through an output byte of the PLC
In the event of a communication error between the SD-Gateway and
the safety sensor, the switching condition of the safety output of the
safety sensor is maintained
Bit 0: safety outputs enabled
Bit 1: safety sensor actuated, actuator identified
Bit 4: both safety inputs live
Bit 5: safety sensor actuated in hysteresis area
Bit 6: error warning, switch-off delay activated
Bit 7: error, safety outputs switched off
Error
A fault has occurred, which causes the safety outputs to be disabled
The fault is reset, when the cause is eliminated and bit 7 of the request
byte changes from 1 to 0 or the safety guard is opened Faults at the
safety outputs are only deleted upon the next release, as the fault
rectification cannot be detected sooner
Error warning
A fault has occurred, which causes the safety outputs to be disabled
after 30 minutes The safety outputs initially remain enabled This
enables the shutdown of the process in a controlled manner An error
warning is deleted when the error cause is eliminated
Diagnostic error (warning)
If an error (warning) is signalled in the response byte, detailed fault
information can be read out
Detailed information about the use of the serial diagnostics can
be found in the operating instructions of the PROFIBUS-Gateway
SD-I-DP-V0-2 and the Universal-Gateway SD-I-U-…
