About this document

This document is valid for all safety switches CES-AP-C.2-AH with version number 
V 1.1.2 or higher.

Correct use

The Coded Electronic Safety switches of series CES are safety devices for moni­toring movable safety guards.

In combination with a separating safety guard and the machine control, this safety 
component  prevents dangerous machine movements from  occurring  while  the 
safety guard is open. A stop command is triggered if the safety guard is opened 
during the dangerous machine function.

Before safety switches are used, a risk assessment must be performed on the 
machine, e.g., in accordance with:

 Ì EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery. Safety related parts of control systems. 

General principles for design

 Ì EN ISO 12100, Safety of machinery – General principles for design – Risk as-

sessment and risk reduction.

Important:

 Ì IEC 62061, Safety of machinery. Functional safety of safety-related electrical, 

electronic and programmable electronic control systems.

Correct use  includes  compliance  with  the relevant requirements for installation 
and operation, for example

 Ì EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery. Safety related parts of control systems. 

General principles for design

 Ì EN 1088, Safety of machinery. Interlocking devices associated with guards. 

Principles for design and selection

 Ì EN 60204-1, Safety of machinery. Electrical equipment of machines. General 

requirements

 Ì EN 60947-5-3, Specification for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear. Con-

trol circuit devices and switching elements. Requirements for proximity devices 
with defined behavior under fault conditions

The safety switch must be used only in conjunction with the designated CES ac­tuators from EUCHNER. On the use of different actuators, EUCHNER provides no 
warranty for safe function.

 Ì The user is responsible for the integration of the device into a safe overall 

system. For this purpose, the overall system must be validated, e.g. in ac­cordance with EN ISO 13849-2.

 Ì In the estimation of the PL for the overall system, a maximum value of 

100 years can be assumed for the MTTFd according to the limit value in 
EN ISO 13849-1:2008, section 4.5.2. This corresponds to a minimum value 
for the PFHd of 2.47x10-8/h.

 Ì Correct use requires observing the permissible operating parameters (see 

Technical data).

 Ì If a product data sheet is included with the product, the information on the 

data sheet applies in case of discrepancies with the operating instructions.

 Ì Only components may be used that are permissible in accordance with the 

table below.

General safety instructions

Safety switches fulfill personal protection functions. Incorrect installation or tamper­ing can lead to fatal injuries to personnel.

Check the safe function of the safety guard particularly

Ì after any setup work
 Ì after the replacement of a CES component
 Ì after an extended period without use
 Ì after every fault

Independent  of  these  checks, the safe function of the safety guard should be 
checked at suitable intervals as part of the maintenance schedule.

Warning!

Loss of safety function in the event of incorrect connection or incorrect use. 

 Ì Safety switches must not be bypassed (bridging of contacts), turned away, 

removed or otherwise rendered ineffective.
On this topic pay attention in particular to the measures for reducing the pos­sibility of bypassing from EN 1088:1995+A2:2008, Section 5.7.

Important:

The device is only allowed to be installed and placed in operation by authorized 
personnel

Ì who are familiar with the correct handling of safety components 
 Ì who are familiar with the applicable EMC regulations
 Ì who are familiar with the applicable regulations on health and safety and ac-

cident prevention 

 Ì who have read and understood the operating instructions.

Prior to use,  read the  operating instructions  and  keep these  in  a safe  place. 
Ensure that the operating instructions are always available during  mounting, 
setup and servicing work. EUCHNER cannot provide any warranty in relation to 
the readability of the CD  for the  storage period required. For this reason you 
should archive a printed copy of the operating instructions. You can download 
the operating instructions from www.EUCHNER.de.

Operating Instructions Safety System CES-AP-C.2-AH

Function

The device complies with the following safety requirements:

Ì Safety category 4, PLe according to EN ISO 13849-1
 Ì Redundant design of the circuit in the unit with self-monitoring
 Ì This means that the safety system still functions even if an internal component

fails

 Ì The switch state of the semiconductor outputs is continuously monitored inter-

nally

 Ì Short circuit detection at the safety outputs by pulse signals

The following switch-on condition applies  to safety outputs OA and OB (see also 
System status table and the section Typical system times):

 Ì Safety guard closed

The system consists of the following components: coded actuator (transponder) 
and switch.

Every EUCHNER actuator supplied has an electronic coding (unique coding) that is 
read by the read head. Only if a correct coding is detected does the system accept 
the actuator. The code in an actuator cannot be reprogrammed.

The actuator must be assigned to the safety switch by a teach-in process so that 
it is detected by the system. This unambiguous assignment ensures a particularly 
high level of protection against tampering.

The safety switch is fastened to the fixed part of the safety guard. 

The actuator attached to the movable part of the safety guard is moved towards 
the read head fitted in the safety switch by closing the door. When the switch-on 
distance is reached, power is supplied to the actuator by the read head by induc­tion and data can be transferred.

The bit pattern read is compared with the code saved in the safety switch. If the 
data match, the safety outputs are enabled.

Due to the combination of dynamic polling of the actuator and  the  redundant, 
diverse design of the safety electronics with the two feedback safety outputs, the 
safety switch will enter the safe state with every detectable fault.

When the safety guard is opened, the safety outputs switch off the safety circuit 
and the monitoring output OUT is switched off. The state of the safety outputs is 
monitored internally by two microprocessors.

If faults are detected, the safety circuit is switched off and the DIA LED illuminates. 
In case of devices with a DIA monitoring output, the output is switched on.

The safety switch has a redundant circuit design with self-monitoring. This means 
that the safety system is still effective even if a component fails.

The system is designed so that failures will not result in the loss of the safety func­tion. The occurrence of failures is detected by cyclic self-monitoring at the latest 
on the next demand to close the safety contacts (e.g. on starting).

Operating Instructions Safety System CES-AP-C.2-AH

If the safety door with the actuator should settle over time, the actuator can drift 
out of the read head operating distance. The device recognizes this and indicates 
that the actuator is in the boundary area (function available for V 1.1.2 and higher). 
This allows the safety door to be readjusted in time.

Mounting

Caution!

Risk of damage to equipment as a result of incorrect installation. Safety switches 
must not be used as a mechanical end stop.

 Ì Fit an additional end stop for the movable part of the safety guard.

Important:

 Ì From the assured switch-off distance S

down.

, the safety outputs are safely shut 

ar

 Ì When mounting several safety switches, observe the stipulated minimum 

distance to avoid mutual interference.

Installation options

min. 400 mm

 Ì The operating distance changes during the mounting of the actuator as a 

function of the material used for the safety guard. Observe arrow direction 
on the device (see fig below).

Permissible approach directions

Note the following points:

 Ì Actuator and safety switch must be easily accessible for inspection and re-

placement.

 Ì The switching operation must only be triggered by the specific actuator desig-

nated for this purpose. For permissible combinations please see the table of 
possible combinations on page 4.

 Ì Actuator and safety switch must be fitted so that

 Ì the front faces are at the minimum switch-on distance 0.8 x S

when the safety guard is closed (see section Operating distances). A mini­mum distance dependent on the actuator must be maintained for a side ap­proach direction:    - for CES-A-BLN-R2    6 mm 

        - for CES-A-BLN-L2    6 mm 

        - for CES-A-BLN-U2    6 mm 

        - for CES-A-BDN      10 mm

 Ì when the safety guard is open up to the distance S

tance), a hazard is excluded.

Electrical connection

Warning!

In case of an error, loss of the safety function through incorrect connection.

Ì To ensure safety, both safety outputs (OA and OB) must always be evaluated.
 Ì The monitoring output OUT must not be used as a safety output.
 Ì Lay the connection cables with protection to prevent the risk of short cir-

cuits.

Caution!

Risk of damage to equipment or malfunctions as a result of incorrect connection.

 Ì The device generates its own clock signal on the output lines OA/OB. A 

downstream control system must tolerate these pulses, which may have a 
length of up to 0.4 ms. 
No pulses are output when the safety outputs are switched off.

 Ì The inputs on an evaluation unit connected must be positive-switching, as the 

two outputs on the safety switch deliver a level of +24 V in the switched-on 
state.

 Ì All the electrical connections must either be isolated from the mains supply 

by a safety transformer according to IEC 61558-2-6 with limited output volt­age in the event of a fault, or by other equivalent isolation measures (PELV).

 Ì For use and operation as per the   requirements, a power supply with the 

feature "for use in class 2 circuits" must be used. The same requirement ap­plies to the safety outputs.
Alternative solutions must comply with the following requirements:
a) Electrically isolated power supply unit with a max. open-circuit voltage of 30

V/DC and a limited current of max. 8 A.

b) Electrically isolated power supply unit in combination with fuse as per UL248. 

This fuse should be designed for max. 3.3 A and should be integrated into 
the 30 V/DC voltage section.

 Ì For use and applications as per the requirements of  , a connection cable 

listed under the UL category code CYJV2 or CYJV must be used and the 
following requirements met: The connection cables of EUCHNER meet these 
requirements. The same requirement applies to the safety outputs.

 Ì All electrical outputs must have an adequate protective circuit for inductive 

loads. The outputs must be protected with a free-wheeling diode for this pur­pose. RC interference suppression units must not be used.

 Ì Power devices which are a powerful source of interference must be installed 

in a separate location away from the input and output circuits for signal pro­cessing. The cable routing for safety circuits should be as far away as pos­sible from the cables of the power circuits.

 Ì In order to avoid EMC interference, the physical environmental and operating 

conditions at the installation site of the device must comply with the require­ments according to the standard EN 60204-1:2006, section 4.4.2 (EMC).

 Ì Please pay attention to any interference fields in case of devices such as 

frequency converters or induction heating systems. Observe the EMC in­structions in the manuals from the respective manufacturer.

Operating Instructions Safety System CES-AP-C.2-AH

Important:

If the device does not appear to function when operating voltage is applied (e.g. 
green STATE LED does not flash), the safety switch must be returned unopened 
to the manufacturer.

Notes for operation with safe control systems

Important:

Devices with start button and feedback loop are not suitable for connection to 
safe control systems.

Please observe the following requirements for connection to safe control systems:

 Ì Use a common power supply for the control system and the connected safety 

switches. 

 Ì A clocked power supply must not be used for UB. Tap the supply voltage 

directly from the power supply unit. If the supply voltage is connected to a 
terminal of a safe control system, this output must provide sufficient electrical 
current.

Important:

 Ì Outputs OA and OB can be connected to the safe inputs of a control system. 

Prerequisite: The input must be suitable for clocked safety signals (OSSD sig­nals, e.g. from light curtains). The control system must tolerate clock pulses 
on the input signals. This normally can be set up by parameter assignment in 
the control system. Observe the notes of the control system manufacturer. 
For the pulse duration of your safety switch, please refer to the section Typical
system times on page 19.

A  detailed  example  of connecting and  setting the  parameters  of  the control 
system is available for many  devices at www.euchner.de in the download area » 
Applikationen » CES. The features of the respective device are dealt with there in 
greater detail.

Devices for direct connection to IP65 field modules

The version CES-AP-...-SB-... (M12, 5-pin; pin 5 not assigned) is optimized for con­nection to decentralized peripheral systems, such as the ET200pro series from 
Siemens. The devices are assigned parameters and connected like an OSSD (e.g. 
like light curtains).

The 5-pin M12 plug connector can be connected directly to the socket of an IP65 
field module (e.g. ET200pro) with aid of the connection cables on page 23. If fly­ing leads are used, connection to IP20 input and output modules (e.g. ET200s) is 
naturally also possible.

Observe the following notes prior to connection:

 Ì Parameter assignment might be required for the input/output modules (see 

application example at www.euchner.de, in the area Download ›› Applications 
›› CES).

 Ì Additionally observe notes from the control system manufacturer where nec-

essary.

Teach-in function for actuator

The actuator must be allocated to the safety switch using a teach-in function before 
the system forms a functional unit.

During a teach-in operation, the safety outputs and the monitoring output OUT are 
in a high-resistance state, i.e. the system is in the safe state.

Normal operation: Door closed

- Door open

- Actuator in boundary area(refer to the status table for 
further signal functions)

- Internal electronics fault

- Fault at the inputs/outputs

 Ì The safety switch disables the code of the previous actuator if teach-in is 

carried out for a new actuator. Teach-in is not possible again immediately for 
this actuator if a new teach-in operation is carried out. The disabled code is 
deleted again in the safety switch only after a third code has been taught.

Ì The safety switch can only be operated with the last actuator taught.
 Ì If the switch detects an actuator which has already been taught when in

teach-in standby state, this state is ended immediately and the switch chang­es to normal state.

 Ì The actuator being taught is not activated if it is within the operating dis-

tance for less than 60 s.

Actuator teach-in

1.  Apply operating voltage to the safety switch.

 ¨ A self-test is performed for approx. 0.5 s. After this, the LED flashes cycli-

cally three times and signals that it is in standby state for teach-in.  
Standby state for teach-in remains active for approx. 3 minutes.

2.  Move new actuator to the read head.

 ¨ Teach-in operation starts, green LED flashes (approx. 1 Hz). During teach-in, the 

safety switch checks whether the actuator is a disabled actuator. Provided this 
is not the case, the teach-in operation is completed after approx. 60 seconds, 
and the green LED goes out. The new code has now been stored, and the old 
code is disabled.

3.  To activate the new  actuator code from  the teach-in operation  in the safety 

switch, the operating voltage to the safety switch must then be switched off 
for min. 3 seconds.

Functional check

After installation and any fault, the safety function must be fully checked. Proceed 
as follows:

Warning!

Danger of fatal injury as a result of faults in installation and functional check.

 Ì Before carrying out the functional check, make sure that there are no per-

sons in the danger area.

 Ì Observe the valid accident prevention regulations.

1.  Switch on operating voltage.

 Ì The STATE LED then flashes at regular intervals.

2.  Close all safety guards.

Ì The machine must not start automatically.
 Ì The green STATE LED illuminates continuously.

3.  Enable operation in the control system.

4.  Open the safety guard.

 Ì The machine must switch off and it must not be possible to start it as long as 

the safety guard is open.

 Ì The green LED STATE flashes at regular intervals.

Repeat steps 2-4 for each safety guard.

Typical system times

Ready delay: After switching on, the unit carries out a self-test. The system is 

ready for operation only after this time.

Switch-on time of safety outputs: The max. reaction time  from  the  moment 
when the actuator is at the operating distance (safety door closed) to the moment 
when the safety outputs switch on T

Risk time according to EN 60947-5-3: If an actuator moves outside the op­erating distance, the safety outputs OA and OB are deactivated after a maximum 
of 260 ms.

Difference time: The safety outputs OA and OB switch with a slight time offset. 
They have the same signal state at the latest after a difference time of 10 ms.

Clock pulses at the safety outputs: The device generates its own clock signal 
on the output lines OA/OB. A downstream control system must tolerate these test 
pulses, which may have a length of up to 400 µs.

This can usually  be  set up in  the  control systems by  parameter assignment. If 
parameter assignment is not possible for your control system or if shorter clock 
pulses are required, please contact our support organization.
