5 FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLES
Through the safety Fieldbus (if available) the muting function can be enabled for each
sensor individually.
Through digital inputs the muting function can be enabled for all the sensors
simultaneously or only for a group of sensors. Up to two groups can be configured, each
associated with a digital input.
Through the safeRS3 Designer application, the following must be defined:
l
for each input, the group of managed sensors
l
for each group, the sensors that belong to it
l
for each sensor, whether it belongs to a group or not
Note
: if the muting function is enabled for one sensor, it is enabled for all the protective
fields of the sensor, regardless the protective fields are dependent or independent and
the anti-tampering functions are disabled for that sensor.
For details, see
Configure the inputs and outputs on page 66
.
5.9.3
Muting activation conditions
The muting function is activated on a specific sensor only when all the protective fields
involved are free of motion and the restart timeout has expired for all fields.
When the muting is enabled for a group of sensors, the function is activated for each
sensor as soon as there is no detection in its monitored area, independent of the other
sensors.
WARNING
Enable the muting signal only when the detection signals of all the sensors of the group
are in ON-state. Or if the sensors belonging to different groups, but monitoring the same
area, are in ON-state.
