Configurable functions
Plan and carry out configuration carefully!
Incorrect configuration can lead to ineffectiveness of the safety function!
$
The configuration of safety applications must be carried out with the greatest accuracy
and must match the status and the condition of the machine or system to be monitored.
Check whether the configured safety application monitors the machine or system as
planned and whether the safety of a configured application is ensured at all times. This
must be ensured in each operating mode and partial application. Document the result of
this check.
$
Each safety application must be checked at a specific interval. The interval is to be
defined to suit the specific case dependant on the application.
$
In each case, observe the instructions for commissioning and daily checking in the
operating instructions of the protective devices integrated into the safety application!
$
Note the warnings and function descriptions of protective devices connected to the
safety controller! Contact the respective manufacturer of the protective device if in
doubt!
$
Functions such as the restart interlock, PSDI etc. can be configured in both the
UE 440/470 and in a device connected via EFI. The UE 440/470 does not check
whether or not these functions were configured with the connected devices. You must
therefore check whether the configured safety application monitors the machine or
system as planned.
The configurable functions of the UE 440/470 are described in the following sections.
Examples for typical safety applications are found in Chapter 7 "Application and switching
examples" from Page 58 and on the Internet at www.sick.com.
