Alert Statements
WARNING
DO not disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the
F3SX controller. Doing so may damage the original safety
functions.
DO not operate the F3SX controller in a hazardous
environment, such as an environment that contains
flammable or explosive gas. Doing so may cause fire or
explosion by electric arc generated in the internal relays
or externally connected electromagnetic switches.
Do not connect the F3SX power input with a DC power
supply or AC power supply exceeding the rated voltage.
Also do not make reverse connection for the polarity of
power supply. Doing either of these may cause
breakdown of device and/or danger such as an electric
shock.
DO not use the F3SX's communication functions for the
purpose of configuring a safety system. Doing so may
cause serious danger if any trouble occurs with the wiring
or programming of the programmable controller.
Do not use the auxiliary input terminals (start command
input) for connection with a safety input device for the
purpose of configuring a safety system. Doing so may
cause serious injury to humans when a trouble occurs
with F3SX or the peripheral devices.
Apply neither of a voltage exceeding the rated nor an AC
power supply across the auxiliary input terminals (start
command input). Doing either of these may cause
breakdown of device and/or danger such as an electric
shock.
The auxiliary solid-state output (at the AS1,AS2 and AS3
terminals) is not a safety output. Do not use it for the
purpose of configuring a safety system. Doing so may
cause serious injury to humans when a trouble occurs
with F3SX or the peripheral devices.
The external indicator output is not a safety output. Do not
use it for the purpose other than indication.
(N module built in types)
DC solid state safety output;
Do not short-circuit the output lines to the 24V DC line.
Doing so will make the output always ON and dangerous.
Also, ground the 0V line of the power source so that the
output does not become ON when the output line is
grounded.
(E module built in types)
The single-beam safety sensor input module (B1 module)
of F3SX is for the exclusive use with the OMRON Model
E3FS-10B4
□□□
(type-2). Be sure to avoid connecting
the module to the single-beam safety sensor other than
the specified for the exclusive use.
(B1 module built in types)
If the mode selection input line of the single-beam safety
sensor receiver is connected to 0V, the output turns ON
when light is interrupted (Dark ON), which no longer
configures the safety system. Ensure connection of the
mode selection input line to 24V DC to make the sensor
output ON when light is incident (Light ON).
(B1 module built in types)
Never use with a load in excess of the trip capacity
(contact voltage, contact current). Doing so may damage
the output circuit and cutoff may not be possible.
When transferring a F3SX product to another user, be
sure to attach this User's Manual.
When this product is used in a safety system, a
"Responsible Person" must strictly conform to the
standards, legislations and regulations of the country and
the local government under which the system is operated.
A "Responsible Person" who is well aware of and familiar
with the machine must implement the installation of the
F3SX and confirmation thereafter. And the users must
have thorough understanding about the relevant
installation requirements, safe distances, control devices
and the functions before starting operation.
For the inspection and/or maintenance of the F3SX, a
"Responsible Person" must confirm that the work has
been properly performed.
In order to prevent hazardous situation, a "Responsible
Person" must implement the inspections according to this
User's Manual at least once for every six months. Failure
to do so may leads to an accident including a serious
injury to humans.
Whenever the F3SX does not operate properly, the user
shall stop the machine immediately and report it to the
"Responsible Person".
In order for F3SX to satisfy EN60204-1, IEC61496-1 and
UL508, have the DC power unit comply with all
of the following requirements.
•
Voltage within the rated (24V DC ± 10%).
•
Do not share the power source with other devices or
machines. When the power source is shared by
multiple devices, consider margins for the total rated
current.
•
Compliant with the EMC Directive, for Industrial
environments.
•
Double or reinforced insulation between the primary and
secondary circuits.
•
Automatic recovery of over-current protection
characteristics (voltage drop).
•
20ms or over of the output hold time.
•
Satisfies the output characteristics requirements of a
class 2 circuit or equivalent limited energy circuit, as
stipulated in UL508.
•
Compliant with the laws and standards in relation to
EMC and other electric device safety in the country or
area where this unit is used.
(Example: EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive
in EU.)
When using a commercialized switching regulator, be
sure to ground FG (frame ground terminal). (If not
grounded, it may cause erroneous operations due to the
switching noises.)
Use appropriate control devices to materialize the safety
functions. Failure to do so may cause deterioration in the
safety performances.
Wiring must be done while the power is turned OFF either
for F3SX or the devices connected with it. Doing it with
the power ON may cause an electric shock. And external
devices in connection with this product may behave in an
unexpected way.
Ensure that the connections are made properly at the
input and output terminals. Failure to ensure this may
cause an electric shock or damage the safety functions.
Ensure that sufficient attention is given so that shared
causes of faults do not cause the redundant safety circuit
to become ineffective.
Set up a protective structure around the applicable
machines so that nobody can reach the hazardous area
of the machines without passing through the detection
zone. If any works should be carried out in such
hazardous area, set the sensors that always detect whole
or a part of human bodies. Failure to do so causes the
detection errors of human body and will lead to a serious
injury.
Measure the maximum stop time with the actual machine
configurations and periodically confirm that the stop time
remains unchanged.
Never fail to secure the safety distances to the hazardous
areas around the machine.
The reset switch must be installed in a place where the
entire dangerous zone can be viewed, and in a way that
the switch cannot be operated from the dangerous zone.
In order to maintain the safety functions, put the product
in the state of output-OFF (the emergency-stop state)
once every 24 hours.
Do not use F3SX for the machines that cannot be stopped
immediately by the electric control at an emergency. Such
machines cannot stop before the human body reaches
the hazardous area and will cause a serious injury.
With regard to the relay output, install a fuse in serial with
the output contacts.
(Relay output module built in types)
Be sure to align the devices so as to prevent mutual
interference when using multiple safety light curtains,
multi-beam safety sensors or single-beam safety sensors.
Failure to do so may cause non-detectable conditions and
a serious injury to humans.
Regarding setting to F3SX by using the function set-up
software for model F3SX (Model F3SXCD
□□□
, sold
separately), keep the set contents in the history.
(Configurable types)
After changing any settings to F3SX by using the function
set-up software for model F3SX (Model F3SXCD
□□□
,
sold separately), be sure to carry out the "Function test"
and keep the test results in the history.
(Configurable types)
DC solid-state safety output;
Be sure to configure the safety system by using two
channels. Only with one channel to be used, the safety
functions of the system will be degraded. It may cause
serious injury to humans when a trouble occurs.
(E module built in types)
DC solid-state safety output;
Connect a load across the output terminal and the 0V line
(PNP output). If it is connected between the output
terminal and the 24V DC line by mistake, the output may
turn ON when an emergency-stop occurs and cause a
dangerous situation.
(E module built in types)
CAUTION
The safety category is determined by the entire safety
control system. Design and use it in accordance with all
the related standards. Consultation with an independent
certification organization is recommended.
The life duration of the relays varies depending on the
switching conditions or loads, etc. Use the relays within
an appropriate switching times, after confirming the limit
of switching times with the actual devices under the actual
conditions.
If the DIN rail is too short for the width of F3SX, the
product may drop out of the rail by vibration. Use end
plate (Model PFP-M, sold separately), to fix F3SX on the
DIN rail where necessary.
Use F3SX in an enclosure rated at least IP54 (IEC60529).
For ventilation, allow for 5mm or more on both sides of the
F3SX and 50mm or more above and beneath.
Stranded wire should be processed with
insulation-covered bar terminal (DIN46228-4 standard
compatible type) at its ends before using for connection.
Conforming wire (when using recommended bar
terminals): 0.34 to 1.5mm
2
AWG22 to 16
Be careful not to catch a finger in the connector when
installing it.
Connect firmly at the time of main body mounting and
connect the cable connectors.
Allow some leeway for the wires and do not tighten the
wires when wiring connection cables to F3SX, and
confirm that any cable may not block the movements of
workers or objects.
For the external indicator, use a filament-type lamp for the
externally connected indicator. With an LED type
indicator, the perfect detection of a trouble is not
available.
