Figure 4: Enabling devices
The Mobile Panel is equipped with two enable
switch
es that are arranged on both sides of the
device
. It allows both
left- and right-handed operation. Both enable
switch
es are connected in parallel and have the exact safe effect on
the shared
safety
circuits in the attachment cable. Only one enable
switch
must be enabled. The enable
switch
consists of a three-position
control
element and separate evaluation electronics. An important feature is the uniform
dual-circuit design that spans everything from the
control
elements to the connection
terminals
. The evaluation
circuits have been implemented using various technologies and switching circuitry. The electronic design of the
switching contacts means that their service life remains independent of the load up to their rated values (resistive,
inductive and capacitive).
Enable
switch
elements are protected against reverse polarity. The outputs of both circuits are protected against
short circuit and overload:
•
Circuit 1: Thermal protective circuit
•
Circuit 2: Foldback characteristic curve
2.2.2.1 Functionality
The
control
element is composed of two symmetrically arranged rocker
switch
es, the position of which is determined
using electrical sensing devices before being passed on to the evaluation electronics.
The enable
switch
can
have three different
switch
positions:

Warning!
The enable
switch
must be tested periodically (every 6 months) by switching it to the panic position.
This test must be performed to determine whether the panic position is functional.
Information:
Only one enable
switch
must be actuated for the monitoring
device
to determine that the
switch
posi-
tion is in order.
Positions "Zero" and "Panic" must trigger a category 0 or 1 stop command.
2.2.2.1.1 Zero position
When not actuated, the enable
switch
returns to the zero position (not enabled).
