DANGER!
Risk of personal injury or property damage in case of non-compliance with the safety
field specifications!
The system’s safety function is disabled.
Personal injury and damage to equipment may occur.
• Observe the safety field specifications!
Sample calculation:
An ESPE with 3 beams and 400 mm beam distance (SEFB423) is to be used for protection. The required
safety clearance must be calculated.
• Response time of the ESPE
t1 = 15 ms
• Over-travel time of the safety switching device t2 = 15 ms
• Machine over-travel time
t3 = 300 ms
• Height of the danger zone
a = 1,600 mm
• Reference height
H = 300 mm
• Height of the safety field above ground
b = 1,100 mm (SFH + H)
