– to meet existing safety standards!
”A fault in the hardware or the software of the control system does not lead to hazardous situations”. This is the requirement in the EU´s Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC under the heading 1.2.1. Safety and reliability of control systems. The directive implies that no person should be put at risk if for example, a relay sticks or if a transistor or two electrical conductors short-circuit. A safety relay will fulfill these requirements. A safety relay has, for example, inputs that are checked for short-circuits and dual redundant circuits that are checked at each operation. This can be compared to the dual brake circuits in a car. If one of the circuits is faulty the other will stop the car. In a safety relay there is an additional function which only allows a machine to start if both circuits are ok. The standard for safety related parts of the control system describes various safety categories depending on the level of risk and application. One single universal relay with selectable safety categories solves this.– to supervise safety devices!
– for safe stops and reliable restarts!
Dual stop signals when the
gate is opened
.
Entering or putting a hand or
limb into a hazardous area
must cause all machinery
that can cause personal
injury to stop safely. Many
serious accidents occur
when machinery is believed
to have stopped but is in fact
only pausing in its program
sequence. The safety relay
monitors the gate interlock
switch and cables and gives
dual stop signalsSupervised reset when there can be a person within the risk area.
To make sure that nobody
is within the restricted area
when activating the reset
button. A supervised reset
button must be pressed and
released before a reset can
occur. Many serious accidents
have been caused by
an unintentional and unsupervised
reset.
Where body entry is not
possible through a hatch, the
safety circuit can be automatically
reset.
The safety relays are reset
immediately when the hatch
interlock switch contacts are
closed.
