System overview and range of applications
2System overview and range of applications
2.1General information
The Modular Safety Interface (MSI) serves as a link between one or more active optoelectronic protective
devices (AOPD), type 2, type 3 or type 4, and the machine control. All MSI safety components include start/
restart interlock and contactor monitoring functions that can be activated and deactivated. They are also
equipped with a series of signal outputs and LED indicators as well as a diagnostic interface to a PC.
In addition, MSI-m(E)/R offers a muting function to suppress the protective function of an AOPD, e.g. when
transporting materials through the protective field. Special safety regulations for muting are described in
chapter 3.6 below.
Leuze electronic offers a range of additional MSI safety interfaces with standard and special function, e.g.
muting (intentional suppression of the safety function) or cycle control (single cycle, two cycle).
All MSI safety modules are equipped with relay outputs.
All information also applies to UL compliant version MSI-mE/R, provided that nothing to the contrary is

3Safety
Before using the safety interface, a risk assessment must be performed according to valid standards (e.g.
EN ISO 12100, EN ISO 13849-1, EN 62061). The result of the risk assessment determines the required
safety level of the safety interface (see table in chapter 3.1.1). For mounting, operating and testing, document "MSI-m(E)/R Modular Safety Interface" as well as all applicable national and international standards,
regulations, rules and directives must be observed. Relevant and supplied documents must be observed,
printed and handed to the affected personnel.
Before working with the safety interface, completely read and understand the documents applicable to
your task.
In particular, the current version of the following national and international legal regulations apply for
commissioning, technical tests and handling of safety sensors:
• Machinery Directive
• Low Voltage Directive
• Electromagnetic compatibility
• Use of Work Equipment Directive
• OSHA
• Safety regulations
• Accident-prevention regulations and safety rules
• Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health and employment protection act
• Product Safety Law (ProdSG)
NOTE
Local agencies can also provide safety-relevant information (e.g. occupational safety and
health inspectorate, employer's liability insurance association, labor inspectorate, OSHA).
3.1Intended use and foreseeable misuse

• The safety interface is used in combination with one or more multiple light beam safety devices or
safety light curtains to safeguard points of operation or danger zones.
• The control of the machine or system that is to be safeguarded must be electrically influenceable. A
switch-off command initiated by an MSI must result in an immediate shutdown of the dangerous
movement.
• The "Reset" acknowledgment button for unlocking the start/restart interlock must be mounted in such
a way that the entire danger zone can be seen from its mounting location.
• Signal outputs (state output) must not be used for switching safety-relevant signals.
• The safety interface is designed for installation in a cabinet or a protective housing with a degree of
protection of at least IP 54.
• The 24 V DC ±20% power supply must guarantee safe insulation from the mains voltage and be able
to bridge a power outage period of 20 ms.
• Depending on external wiring, dangerous voltages may be present at the switching outputs. In addition to the power supply, these must be switched off and safeguarded against being switched back
on prior to all work on the MSI-m(E)/R.
• These operating instructions must be included with the documentation of the machine on which the
protective device is installed so that they are available to the operator at all times.
• In the event of changes to the MSI-m(E)/R, all warranty claims against the manufacturer of the safety
interface are rendered void.
• The safety distance between the AOPD and the point of operation is to be maintained. It is calculated
according to the formulas for machine-specific C standards or given in the general B1 standard
EN ISO 13855. Both the reaction time of the test monitoring unit and the braking time of the machine
must be taken into account.
• Two switching contacts must always be looped into the switch-off circuit of the machine. To prevent
welding, relay switching contacts must be fused/protected externally according to the technical data.
• The safety interface must be exchanged after a maximum of 20 years. Repairs or the exchange of
wear parts do not extend the mission time.
• The safety interface satisfies the requirements of safety category 4 acc. to EN ISO 13849-1:2015. If,
however, an AOPD of a lower safety category is connected, the total category for the given path of

the control cannot be higher than that of the connected AOPD.
• Cross-circuits between S1 and S2 are only detected by the MSI safety module if both time-delayed
test signal outputs, T1 and T2, are used for the connected protective device(s) with relay output.
AODPs of type 4 with safety-relevant transistor outputs and their own cross circuit monitoring can be
directly connected to S1 and S2.
3.1.2Foreseeable misuse
Any use other than that defined under the "approved purpose" or which goes beyond that use is consid-
ered improper use!
e.g.,
• Applications in explosive or easily flammable atmospheres
ATTENTION!
Such instances can jeopardize the health and lives of the personnel operating the machinery
and/or may cause damage to property.
3.2Competent personnel
Prerequisites for competent personnel:
• They have a suitable technical education.
• They know the rules and regulations for labor protection, safety at work and safety technology and
can assess the safety of the machine.
• They know the instructions for the safety interface and the machine.
• They were instructed by the responsible individuals on the mounting and operation of the machine
and of the safety interface.
3.3Responsibility for safety
Manufacturer and operator must ensure that the machine and implemented safety interface function properly and that all affected persons are adequately informed and trained.
The type and content of all imparted information must not lead to unsafe actions by users.
The manufacturer of the machine is responsible for:
• Safe machine construction
• Safe implementation of the safety interface
• Imparting all relevant information to the operating company
• Adhering to all regulations and directives for the safe commissioning of the machine
The operator of the machine is responsible for:
• Instructing the operating personnel
• Maintaining the safe operation of the machine
• Adhering to all regulations and directives for labor protection and safety at work
• Regular testing by competent personnel (see chapters 3 and 3.2)
3.4Exemption of liability
Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG is not liable in the following cases:
• Safety interface is not used as intended.
• Safety notices are not adhered to.
• Reasonably foreseeable misuse is not taken into account.
• Mounting and electrical connection are not properly performed.
• Proper function is not tested.
• Changes (e.g., constructional) are made to the safety interface.

Safety
3.5Connection of E-STOP buttons
• It must be ensured that the EMERGENCY STOP function is always and immediately effective.
E-STOP buttons must not be connected at sensor inputs which provide for muting or cycle control functions!
Since the MSI-m(E)/R does not provide for additional sensor inputs without special functions, no E-STOP buttons must be connected.
If an E-STOP button is needed, the use of the extended version MSI-mx(E)/
Rx is recommended.
3.6Additional safety notices for the special function "Muting"
• Muting is the intentional suppression of the safety function of an AOPD. It is used, for instance, to
allow the material flow to pass through the protective field without triggering a switch-off signal.
• During the muting function the protective function of this AOPD is no longer active! For this reason
other measures must be taken to ensure that it is not possible to reach or go into the point of operation. For instance, if the material transport completely fills the access area, or if there is no danger
while muting is active, such as during the return motion of a tool.
• The muting sensors must be positioned in such a way that it is impossible to manipulate them easily.
For example, optical sensors can be mounted so high or so far apart that the operating personnel
cannot cover them either simultaneously or at all. If switches are used, we recommend a concealed
installation.
• The operating personnel must be expressly informed that the protective device offers no protection in
the muting state. Any manipulations of or unauthorized entries into the system present immediate
danger to personnel.
• An additional sign should be put up stating that the safety light grid offers no protection when the
Muting indicator is lit and it is dangerous to reach or walk through the protective field. Muting indicators and sign should be placed in a clearly visible location near the muting area.
• The start button must be positioned so that it cannot be actuated by persons who are located in the
protective field.
