Locking principle
Important information
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
In the event of a voltage drop, the locking device unlocks regardless of whether the
dangerous state of the machine has ended
b
Do not use the safety switch in applications in which the dangerous state cannot
be ended immediately (stopping/run-down time).
Power to lock principle
•
Lock locking device: voltage at locking device input
•
Unlock locking function: no voltage at locking device input
If voltage is interrupted, the locking device is unlocked and the protective device can be
opened immediately.
Complementary information
•
The locking device is not monitored, which means that the safety switch does not
check whether the anchor plate is applied to the solenoid.
•
The locking force is not monitored.
•
Locking force is not a safety-related function.
3.2.4
Protective functions
The safety switch has the following internal protective functions:
•
Short-circuit protection at all outputs
•
Cross-circuit monitoring at OSSDs
