Safety
DANGER
Hazard due to electrical voltage
Hazard due to unexpected starting of the machine
b
Make sure that the machine is and remains disconnected from the power supply
during the electrical installation.
b
Make sure that the dangerous state of the machine is and remains switched off.
b
Always use a suitable power supply.
b
Make sure that the outputs of the safety controller have no effect on the machine
during electrical installation.
NOTE
•
The safe sensor cascade complies with the Radio Safety Requirements (EMC) for
the industrial sector (Radio Safety Class A). It may cause radio interference if used
in a residential area.
•
All electrical equipment must be installed conforming to EN 60204-1.
•
The device voltage supply must be capable of buffering brief power failures of
20 ms, for example, as specified in EN 602041
.
•
The voltage supply and all connected signals must meet the requirements for
extra-low voltages with safe separation (SELV / PELV) as specified in EN 60664.
•
All safety sensors and actuators connected as well as wiring and installation have
to fulfil the required safety characteristics.
•
On the replacement of a Flexi Loop node, it must be ensured the pin assignment is
made correctly, e.g. by marking or laying in a suitable manner.
•
The safe sensor cascade must be disconnected from the voltage supply before
any changes are made.
