Emergency Stop Switch
The SAFETY OUT of the emergency stop switch needs to be connected to the MachineMotion SAFETY IN, as seen in the figure below.
Please note, if you want to use multiple emergency stop switches, you have to connect them in series. Beware of connecting the SAFETY IN of the first switch
to the SAFETY OUT of the second. Refer to the figure below to do so
Multiple emergency stop switches configuration
The emergency stop switch, once connected to the MachineMotion, acts like the E-stop button present on the MachineMotion itself.
Please note, if you are using multiple MachineMotion controllers, you should connect the emergency stop switch to the Parent MachineMotion. This will
ensure that the emergency stops are at the top of the chain and will trigger an emergency stop for the entire system.
For more details about connecting multiple MachineMotion, refer to the
section.
Safety Interlock Switch
The safety interlock gate bolt
is designed to ensure that your machine is operational only when its gate is properly closed. Alternatively, the
can be used where manual locking of the enclosure, such as through the use of a gate bolt, is not required.
Every safety interlock switch is provided with a 4-pin M12 connector, a 3-meter safety extension cable
, a jumper and a safety divider. The
jumper is used when only one interlock is in use. The safety divider is used for connecting another safety device.
The safety divider has 2 identical ports and 1 port that will be connceted to the MachineMotion.
Follow the instructions in the table below to connect your safety interlocks to the MachineMotion.
