EZ-SCREEN Point

Instruction Manual

Overview

1.  Overview

1.1  Introduction

The Banner EZ-SCREEN™ Point System creates an optically synchronized, microprocessor-controlled, opposed-mode optoelectronic light beam. This economical two-part system consists of an emitter and receiver. The system requires

no external controller or sync wire between the emitter and receiver; the microprocessors are located within the receiver. The receiver has two diverse-redundant, solid-state safety outputs to control 24V dc loads. If an ac-powered MPCE or other load is required, an accessory interface module may be used to convert the EZ-SCREEN dc outputs to isolated, forcedguided relay contacts. (See Section 2.2 and Figures 3-20 and 3-21 for more information.)

EZ-SCREEN™ Point typically is used in combination with additional components to create a “light grid,” for guarding the perimeter around a dangerous machine, or to guard the access to such an area.. These components may be mirrors (as is used in the ACCESS-GUARD kit), or they may be other singleor multiple-beam systems, combined to create a customized light grid..

The EZ-SCREEN Point System is available as a sensor pair, or as part of an ACCESS-GUARD configuration. Emitters are available in short-range and long-range versions; receivers are the same for all emitters. (Long-range sensors are not suitable for use with the ACCESS-GUARD configuration.) Emitters and receivers do not need matching serial numbers to work together. See Figure 1-1.

A dot on the housing

indicates beam placement  (dot size is exaggerated for visibility).

Each EZ-SCREEN Point System needs only an emitter and a receiver. Optional Interface Module is available for switching ac or larger dc loads.. (See Section 2..2 for more information on the Interface Module.)

Overview

EZ-SCREEN Point

Instruction Manual

When multiple systems are used together in a grid, the beam configuration (number of beams and beam spacing) required for an application is determined by the application and the safety standards being followed. U.S. applications are based on recommendations in ANSI/RIA R15.06 and ANSI B11. European applications are based on recommendations in EN 999. See pages 63 and 64 for a list of applicable safety standards..

The ACCESS-GUARD configuration is used to guard the entrance to an area, such as a robotic cell. Both the emitter and receiver are mounted to one stand, so all wiring is located at one side of the access point. Two mirrors, bracketed to face the emitter and receiver at 45° angles, are installed at the opposite side of the access point.. The beam from the emitter crosses the access point to the mirror opposite, reflects to the other mirror, and back to the receiver. In this way, one beam is used to simulate a two-beam sensing system (see Figure 1-1).

The emitter/receiver beams feature a narrow effective aperture angle (EAA) for effective long-range sensing — up to 70 meters, depending on model. The EAA satisfies IEC 61496-2 (type 4), including requirements for extraneous reflections and misalignment..

Cabling is accomplished in one of two ways. User-supplied cable may be hard-wired into the emitter and receiver housings, using the removable terminals in the end cap of each sensor, or Mini-style quick-disconnect models are available for easier installation; see pages 59-60. See Section 2.5 for cable specifications and Section 3.7 for wiring instructions.

Banner EZ-SCREEN Point components may be purchased individually, in sensor pair kits or in ACCESS-GUARD kits. Sensor pair kits include one emitter, one receiver, a keyed Reset switch, two cable glands, standard mounting hardware for both sensors, plus the accessory spanner wrench. When purchased separately, the emitter and receiver each include one cable gland, mounting hardware for one sensor, plus the accessory spanner wrench. The Keyed Reset switch also is available separately, or other means may be used to reset the system (see specifications in Section 2.5 for switch requirements). The ACCESS-GUARD kit includes a short-range sensor pair, two mirrors with 45° mounting brackets, and two 42” vertical stands (see Figure 1-1).

The OSSD (solid-state safety outputs) are capable of performing a “handshake” communication with the Muteable Safety Stop Interface (MSSI) or Universal Safety Stop Interface (USSI) that are found on other Banner Engineering safety products. The handshake protocol is satisfied by any Banner Engineering Safety Category 4 (per ISO 13849-1/EN954-1) device with OSSD outputs or MSSI/USSI inputs.

To ensure a Safety Category 4 (per ISO 13849-1/EN954-1) interface between the two devices, the MSSI/USSI provides a “handshake request” that Banner Engineering safety devices with OSSD solid-state outputs are capable of responding to. This handshake verifies that the interface between the two devices is capable of detecting certain unsafe failures that may occur, such as a short-circuit to a secondary source of power or to the other channel, high input resistance or loss of signal ground.

EZ-SCREEN Point

Instruction Manual

Overview

1.3  Control Reliability

1.4 EZ-SCREEN Point Operating Features

In addition to physical location requirements, safety standards require a safety system such as the EZ-SCREEN Point to fulfill some internal requirements. For example, for an optical safety system to be used in a Safety Category 4 application

(per EN954-1), it must be third-party certified to the type 4 requirements of IEC 61496-1 and -2.

EZ-SCREEN Point’s microprocessor-based circuitry features a “diverse-redundant” design, in which two microprocessors of different design, running from different instruction sets, constantly check all system components, including each other. In addition, EZ-SCREEN Point is extensively FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) tested to establish an extremely high probability that no system component will ever (even if it does fail) cause a failure to danger.

The Banner EZ-SCREEN Point System features several selectable functions: trip or latch output, external device monitoring (EDM), and scan code setting. These settings are configured within the sensors, behind the threaded access port on the front of each sensor and in the sensor wiring configuration; see Section 4.1 for more information.

Selectable Trip/Latch Output

The setting for latch or trip output also determines whether the System will enter Run mode automatically or require a manual reset (see Section 4.1). If the system is set for trip output, other measures must be taken to prevent a pass-through hazard; see

Section 3..3..3 for more information..

EZ-SCREEN Point

Instruction Manual

System Installation

3.  Installation and Alignment

Read Section 3 in its entirety before installing the Banner

EZ-SCREEN Point System. The EZ-SCREEN System’s ability to perform its safety guarding function depends upon the appropriateness of the application and upon its proper mechanical and electrical installation and interfacing to the guarded machine. If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and

checkout procedures are not followed properly, the EZ-SCREEN System cannot provide the protection for which it was designed. Installation must be performed by a Qualified Person, as defined in the Safety Glossary in this manual.. See Warning at right..

3.1  Appropriate Applications 

The EZ-SCREEN Point System may be used to guard only machinery that can be stopped immediately after a stop signal is issued. It may be used with part-revolution clutched machines that have the ability to stop at any point in their stroke. Under no circumstances may the EZ-SCREEN Point System

be used to guard full-revolution clutched machinery. EZ-SCREEN Point Systems may not be used as tripping devices to initiate machine motion (PSDI applications) on mechanical power presses, per OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.217.

The EZ-SCREEN Point System is typically used in accessguarding or perimeter-guarding applications for the following types of machines:

•  Assembly stations •  Manufacturing cells

•  Automated production equipment •  Robotic work cells

The EZ-SCREEN Point System may not be used in the following types of applications:

•  For finger or hand detection in point-of-operation guarding, •  To guard any machine that cannot be stopped immediately after a stop signal is issued, such as single-stroke (or “full-

revolution”) clutched machinery,

•  To guard any machine with inadequate or inconsistent machine response

time and stopping performance,

•  To guard any machine that ejects materials or component parts through the area protected by the EZ-SCREEN beam(s), or

•  In any environment that is likely to adversely affect photoelectric sensing system efficiency. For example, corrosive chemicals or fluids or unusually severe levels of smoke or dust, if not controlled, may degrade the efficiency of the safety light grid..

WARNING . . . Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System

The user is responsible for satisfying all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and use of this control system in any particular application. Extreme care should be taken to meet all legal requirements and follow all technical installation and maintenance instructions contained in this manual..

The user has the sole responsibility to ensure that the Banner EZ-SCREEN Point System is installed and interfaced to the guarded machine by Qualified Persons in accordance with this manual and applicable safety regulations.

Read all of Section 3 of this manual carefully before installing the system. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious bodily injury or death.

CAUTION . . . Install System Only on Appropriate Applications

In order for the machinery guarded by the EZ-SCREEN system to be stopped as described, that machinery must be capable of stopping at any point in its machine cycle. This means that the EZ-SCREEN system cannot be used with certain types of machinery (see listing at left).

If there is any doubt about whether or not your machinery is compatible with the EZ-SCREEN Point system, contact a Banner factory application engineer.
