Product description
This chapter provides information on the special features and properties of the
UE 440/470. It describes the structure and operating principle of the device.
It is imperative that you read this chapter before you mount, install and commission the
device.
3.1
Special features
Properties of UE 440/470
$
2 EFI connections for the attachment of corresponding SICK protective devices
(e.g. C 4000 Standard/Advanced or S 3000)
$
Saving of the configuration of a device connected via EFI, e.g. C 4000 in the
UE 440/470. automatic device identification after replacement of such a device and
transfer of the saved configuration to the device. This makes easy replacement of a C
4000 possible.
$
15 inputs for the connection…
–
of single or dual channel standard sensors and input devices such as reset and EDM.
–
of single or dual channel safety sensors and input devices such as emergency stop,
two-hand control, bypass etc.
–
of an operating mode selector switch for switching between up to five operating
modes.
$
8 outputs, which can be used...
–
as single channel control or signal outputs for downstream controllers (e.g. EPLC or
others).
–
as dual channel OSSDs (for the connection of e.g. actuators or EPLC).
–
for the connection of signal lamps.
–
as outputs for test signals for single or dual channel sensors or input devices, such as
emergency stop.
$
Configurable logic modules, e.g. logical AND/OR/NAND/NOT gates for linking of input
signals
$
Configurable release modules for evaluation of release criteria e.g. reset, external device
monitoring (EDM) and two-hand control
$
Configurable software function module for protective operation for simple configuration
of safety applications, e.g. with emergency stop or bypass
$
Diagnostics via 7-segment display and LEDs
$
RS-232 interface for configuration and diagnostics with the Configuration & Diagnostic
Software (CDS)
Special features of safety controller UE 470 for PSDI applications
$
Configurable PSDI mode software function modules for 1 or 2 PSDI (also hydraulic or
eccentric presses) with and without overrun monitoring
$
Configurable software function module for protective operation with evaluation of
machine cycle contacts
$
Inputs for machine cycle contacts (TDC, BDC, SCC)
