Operating Instructions AR Evaluation Unit CES-AR-AES-12
The AR evaluation unit is used for the central evaluation of safety-related signals  in AR switch chains.
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 or if guard locking is deactivated. 
Before safety switches are used, a risk assessment must be performed on  the  machine 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.
Ì IEC 62061, Safety of machinery. Functional safety of safety-related electrical, 
electronic and programmable electronic control systems.

General safety instructions
Safety switches fulfill personal protection functions. Incorrect installation or tamper­ing can lead to severe injuries to personnel.
The number of teach-in and switching operations is saved in the internal memory in  the AR evaluation unit. If necessary, this memory can be read by the manufacturer.
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!
Danger of fatal injury 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.

Function
The AR evaluation unit is used to evaluate  the individual safety switches in an AR  switch chain and to reliably interrupt a safety circuit. 
The unit has two inputs for the connection of an AR switch chain. The safety contacts  are switched as a function of the input signals. Downstream parts of the safety  circuit can be monitored using a feedback loop.
The switching states of the connected safety switches can be signaled by means  of monitoring outputs.
If the actuator on one of the safety switches in the AR switch chain is moved out  of the operating distance or if guard locking is deactivated, the AR evaluation unit  opens its relay contacts and the corresponding monitoring output is switched off.
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  at the next demand to close the safety contacts.
The system can be started either manually using a start button or automatically.

out air circulation (e.g. fan), a minimum distance of 10 mm must be main­tained between the evaluation units.  This distance enables the heat from the evaluation unit to dissipate.

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

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.

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

Connecting AR switch chain
The AR evaluation unit has two safety inputs to which the AR switch chain is con­nected. Safety inputs IA and IB have short circuit and earth fault monitoring.
Important!
The AR switch chain must be supplied by the AR evaluation unit (terminals UB
AR
 and  0VAR). An additional power supply may be required for these safety switches (e.g.  for guard locking), depending on which safety switches are used in the AR switch  chain (see  Figure 5). In case of switches with  guard locking, the supply for  the  guard locking solenoid must be at the potential of the AR evaluation unit. Informa­tion on this is provided in the operating instructions of the respective safety switch. 
A maximum of 12 safety switches can be connected.  Only safety switches that are suitable for operation in an AR switch chain can  be connected. Safety switches with start input are not suitable for connection to an AR evalu­ation unit.
In the case Unicode switches, the actuators must be taught-in at the read head.  See the operating instructions for the related safety switch. For the AR system to function, a bridging plug must be connected to the first  safety switch in the AR switch chain (or a jumper between IA, IB and UBAR).

Starting behavior
The AR evaluation unit can be placed in operation either using the autostart mode  or by starting it manually. 
Important!
If the configuration for the starting behavior is changed during operation (e.g.  jumper removed), this change will be detected by the unit. The AR evaluation unit  assumes the fault state as soon as the next request to close the safety contacts  is received (see section Troubleshooting).
Connection for monitored, manual start
For a monitored, manual start, a start button is connected to terminal S. The start  button is supplied with a voltage of 24 V DC. The terminal +UB can be used for this  purpose. A sticking start button, for example, will be detected  by the monitoring  function the next time the system is powered up.
The safety contacts close after max. 600 ms when the start button is pressed and  then released again (falling edge) and if the actuators for all the safety switches  connected are within the operating distance.

Setup
Warning!
Ì Pay attention to the notes on commissioning and on the teach-in process in 
the operating instructions for the safety switch used.
Ì In case of devices with teach-in input, ensure the circuit is correct.
Proceed as follows:
1.  Ensure nobody can be placed in danger during setup.
2.  Prior to setup, check whether all connections are correct (jumpers connected,  external circuit correct) and the AR switch chain is fitted with a bridging plug.
3.  Close all safety guards and make sure that the feedback loop on the evaluation  unit is closed. 
4.  Switch on the power supply.
¨ The switches in the chain are initialized on starting. Unicode switches that have 
not yet taught-in an actuator on starting, automatically teach-in the actuator.  This process can take up to one minute.
Important!
¨ If the AR evaluation unit is set up for automatic start, the OUT LED flashes and 
signals that the self-test is being performed. After the self-test, the OUT and  STATE LEDs are continuously lit. 
or
¨ If you start the AR evaluation unit manually, the STATE LED flashes and signals 
that the self-test is being carried out. After the self-test, the STATE LED illumi- nates continuously. The OUT LED flashes, since no start command has been  issued yet.
5.  Press the start button (only necessary for manual start).
6.  Then press the RST button on the AR evaluation unit for approx. 3 s to re-start  the device.
7.  Check the correct function of the safety circuits connected. In case of problems,  see section Troubleshooting.
Use the status table in the section Troubleshooting to check the overall function.  In addition, the status LEDs on the respective safety switches provide information  about the status of the respective switch.

Status LEDs, control elements and terminal assignment
The AR evaluation unit has status LEDs for the most important operating states.  The significance of the individual LED states is explained in the System Status table  in the section Troubleshooting.

System times for the AR system
Typical system times
Ready delay: After switching on, the unit carries out a self-test for 8 s. The system 
is ready for operation only after this time.
Risk time according to EN 60947-5-3:  If an  actuator  leaves the  operating  distance, the safety contacts on the AR evaluation unit are opened at the latest  after 520 ms. 
Difference time: The  safety contacts  on  the AR  evaluation  unit  switch  with  a  slight time offset. They have the same signal state at the latest after a difference  time of 10 ms.
The system times shown are maximum values for a circuit arrangement  with  12 safety switches connected in an AR switch chain. Shor ter times can also be  achieved in circuits with fewer switches.
