GE provides 3 varients of RSTi-EP safe feed modules EP 1901: one safe input,
GFK-2968A Safe Feed-input Modules
December 2015 EP-1901, EP-1902, EP-1922
EP 1902: two safe inputs and EP 1922: two safe inputs, with delayed
disconnection, which are intended for connecting safety-related equipment.
The RSTi-EP safe feed-input modules are controlled using contact-based
safety transducers and/or safety transducers with OSSD (Output Signal
Switching Device) inputs. The safety function consists of the safe
EP-1901 Module
disconnection of 24 V outputs, the safe state of which is 24 V switched off
(current path for outputs and the OSSD output is switched off).
All input sensors are independently supplied via separate voltage paths and
report the current machine status to the control unit.
Each RSTi-EP safe feed-input module safely switches off all following
modules that are supplied by the output current path (until the next EP-7641
power module) and thus creates a safety segment. To switch the 24 V OSSD
voltage back on, either an automatic or a manual start can be selected.
• Automatic start: the safe output current path is switched on
immediately after resetting the safety circuit(s).
• Manual start: the output current path is only switched on again if the
start button has been held down for a preset length of time.
With the delay module (EP-1922), switching off can be delayed by a defined
time so that, for example, a machine can be shut down in a controlled
manner. The delay time can be set in four steps between 0 and 60 seconds
(corresponds to stop category 1 as per EN 60204.
The wiring connectors on each module are color coded for ease of wiring.
Refer to the section, Field Wiring for additional information.
The RSTi-EP station is usually installed on a horizontally positioned DIN rail.
Installation on vertically positioned DIN rails is also possible.
Modules should to be allowed to de-energize for a minimum 10 seconds
after power down, prior to starting any maintenance activity.
Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O Functional Safety Module User Manual (GFK-
2956) for additional information.
Refer to the RSTi-EP Power Supply Reference Guide, a software utility
available on PME V9.00, for detailed power-feed requirements.
