MPO RTA N T SAFE TY MES S AGE

A presence sensing mat and controller are general purpose presence sensing
devices designed to guard personnel working around moving machinery. The
use of this type of guarding system is regulated by government safety agencies.

Whether a specific machine application and presence sensing mat and
controller installation complies with government regulations depends upon
several items, including: the proper application, installation, maintenance and
operation of the presence sensing mat and controller. These items are the sole
responsibility of the purchaser, installer and employer.

The employer is also responsible for the selection and training of the personnel
necessary to properly install, operate and maintain the machine and its
safeguarding systems. For example, the presence sensing mat and controller
should be installed, checked out and maintained only by a qualified person,
defined as “a person who, by possession of a recognized degree in applicable

field or certificate of professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge,
training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve
problems relating to the subject matter and work.” (ASME B30.2-2001)

The machine operator must notify management if the machine, tooling or
safety devices are not operating properly. Never use the machine if it or the
safety equipment is not is proper working order.

The following additional requirements must be met before using a safety mat
and controller system:

• The machine on which the presence sensing mat and controller are installed
must be capable of stopping motion anywhere in its cycle or stroke. Never use a
presence sensing mat and controller on a power press with a full-revolution
clutch.

• Do not use a presence sensing mat and controller:

– on any device with inconsistent stopping time or inadequate control

devices or mechanisms.

– where the environment, such as corrosive chemicals, may degrade the

performance of the mat and/or controller.

– to initiate machine motion.

• When a presence sensing mat and controller are used as a safety device, the
employer has the responsibility to ensure that all applicable federal, state, and
local requirements, rules, codes and regulations are satisfied.

• All safety related machine control circuit elements, including pneumatic,
electric or hydraulic controls, must be control reliable as defined by ANSI
B11.19-2003, 6.1 which states in part:

— prevent initiation of hazardous machine motion (or situation) until the

failure is corrected or until the control system is manually reset: or

— initiate an immediate stop command and prevent re-initiation of hazardous

machine motion (or situation) until the failure is corrected or until the
control system is manually reset; or

— prevent re-initiation of hazardous machine motion (or situation) at the next

normal stop command until the failure is corrected or until the control
system is manually reset.

• All other machinery or equipment must meet OSHA standard 1910.212 for
general machine guarding plus any other applicable regulations, codes and
standards.

• Additional guarding such as safety light curtains or mechanical guards may be
required if the presence sensing mat and controller do not protect all areas of
entry to the point of operation hazard.

• All brakes and stopping mechanisms must be inspected regularly to ensure
proper working order. If the stopping mechanisms are not working properly, the
machine may not stop safely even though the presence sensing mat and
controller are functioning properly.

• The Omron STI Test Procedure must be performed at installation and after any
maintenance, modification or adjustment is performed on the machine controls
or on the presence sensing mat and controller. The Test Procedure is presented
in this manual.

• Do not perform any test or repairs other than those outlined in this manual. All
electrical wiring must be installed in accordance with local electrical codes and
regulations.

• The user must follow all procedures in this manual for proper operation of the
MC3 controller.

The enforcement of these requirements is beyond Omron STI’s control. The
employer has the sole responsibility to follow the preceding requirements and
any procedures, conditions and requirements specific to your machinery.

The MC3 controller will interlock in de-energized state both upon application
of power and also whenever the mat is stepped upon. Requires a manual reset
operation to cause the system to energize relays. The MAT CLEAR light will
indicate that it is possible to activate the start switch and enter into the
MACHINE RUN state. The controller attempts to enter the RUN STATE upon
the release of the start switch. Press and hold the start switch for more than

0.15 seconds. The safety mat area must be clear at the time the start switch is

pressed and released.

WARNING! Read this manual completely before installing the MC3

controller. The MC3 controller should only be installed, checked out, tested
and maintained by a qualified person (as described in the Important Safety
Message at the beginning of this manual). It is important that the user be
familiar with the installation requirements, safe mounting distance, controls
and features of the MC3 controller before using the guarding system

.

5.1. M O UNTING

5.1.1

MODE SELECT

The installer must select whether the MC3 controller will operate in
AUTOMATIC START or START/RESTART INTERLOCK mode. To make the
selection, remove the terminal block on the input side of the controller box.
Behind this terminal block are three yellow jumpers.

With all three jumpers installed, the controller is configured for AUTOMATIC
START operation. This is the factory setting.

To configure for START/RESTART INTERLOCK operation, all three jumpers
must be removed.

WARNING!

Perimeter Guarding Special Requirements: Perimeter guarding
refers to installations where the presence sensing mats are positioned
around the outside perimeter of the machine, robot or area to be guarded.
This could leave sufficient space for an operator to stand between the mats
and the machine.

For perimeter guarding installations, the guarded machine or robot must be
wired such that any interruption of the sensing area will cause an immediate
stop of the hazardous motion. The machine or robot must only be restarted
by actuation of a start switch. This start switch must be located outside the
area of hazardous motion and positioned such that the hazardous area may
be observed by the start switch operator.

Unexpected or automatic restart of the machine or robot may cause severe
injury or death to the operator or other personnel.

Always contact the machine manufacturer for advice and assistance on the
proper connection of any safety device.

5.1.2 ENCLOSURE

The MC3 controller is designed to be installed inside a machine control cabinet
which has an environmental rating of at least IP54.

5.2. INPUT WI RI N G

5.2.1 POWER

A 24VDC power source is required. Connect PLUS to terminal block Y1 position
and MINUS (0, Return) to terminal block Y2 position. (Note: see separate
discussion of “earth”)

5.2.2 START

Used only in START/RESTART INTERLOCK mode. If AUTOMATIC START mode
is used, no connection is required. If required, customer-supplied remote start
switch with a single set of normally open contacts is used.

Two optional wiring configurations are acceptable:

— Connect the remote start switch between terminals X1 and X2.
— Connect one terminal of the remote start switch to +24VDC (must share a

common return with MC3 power supply), and the second terminal to X2.

5.2.3 SAFETY M AT

An Omron STI 4-wire mat is expected. For an Omron STI Universal safety mat
the blue and black conductors are connected to the bottom electrode plate. The
brown and white conductors are connected to the top electrode plate. For a
single mat installation, black is connected to M11 and blue to M21. The brown
conductor is connected to M12 and white conductor is connected to M22.

Multiple mats must be connected to the controller in series. To wire an STI UM
series multiple mat system in series, follow the wiring as shown in the drawing
below:

WARNING! Connecting mats in parallel will appear to work, but it is an

UNSAFE installation. In this configuration, it is possible for one or more
mats to be disconnected or have an open wire and the controller will not
detect that these mats are non-functioning.

5.2.4 EARTH CONSIDERATIONS

Normally, earthing of the house system is not a consideration. Presence
sensing mats are sealed - any wiring to them should not be in contact with
earth. Likewise, the mat controller operates between +24VDC and it’s return, so
the selection of an earth scheme is not significant.

However, there are abnormal conditions that could cause current flow due to
house earth. This is related to the fact that mats lie on the floor, and are
typically in close proximity to true “earth”. Under certain conditions (e.g.
wetting of the mat cable connectors), it is possible that one of the plates of the
mat might become referenced to earth.

Note: If the entire connector becomes immersed, this is the equivalent of the

mat being shorted, and the system will simply indicate so, i.e. the mat clear
indicator will not be able to light.

One of the mat plates is electrically connected through the mat controller to
the 24VDC return. (minus, Y2). If the plus side of the 24VDC power supply is
earthed, and the minus side of the mat is also earthed, ground current will
attempt to flow through the mat controller. This will cause the primary power
fuse to blow. However, the fuse is a self-mending type, and will continue to re­make and blow again.

5.3. O U TPUT WI R IN G

Two safety outputs must be connected to, and operate, the two MPCE of the
guarded machine. One to each. The product offers two normally closed and two
normally open FSD (final switching device) outputs for this purpose. Customer
shall wire by normal methods. External over-current protection must be
provided by the user.

The remaining two connections may be used for indicator/communications
purposes as desired.

ETHOD

The following connection scheme uses both of the normally open output relay
contacts to control the machine. This is the Omron STI recommended wiring
method.

In the machine control circuit, locate the two machine primary control
elements (MPCE1 & MPCE2). These are defined as “The electrically powered

element that directly controls the normal operation of a machine in such a
way that it is the last element (in time) to function when machine operation is
to be initiated or arrested.” IEC 61496-1

The method to arrest hazardous machine motion will vary depending on the
type of machine. Control methods include hydraulic, pneumatic, clutch and
mechanical braking systems. For example, an MPCE may consist of relays,
contactors, solenoids or electromechanical valves. If relays, the MPCE must use
force-guided contact type relays.

6.2. S U GGEST E D P LC C O NNECTION

The wiring from the MC3 controller to the machine control must be control
reliable as explained in ANSI B11.19-2003 section 6.1 or OSHA

1910.217(b)(13). Normally, PLCs are not designed to be control reliable and
thus safety devices, such as safety mat systems, must not depend on a PLC to
stop a guarded machine.

Figure 6-2 shows a connection diagram which provides for an extra set of
contacts on each MPCE to be used as a signal input to a PLC. Note that in this
diagram, the PLC is not wired directly to the MC3 controller and thus removes
the PLC from the safety mat controller stop signal circuit.

Always contact the manufacturers of the PLC and the guarded machine before
using a PLC in conjunction with an operator safety control.

The PLC control system design, wiring, installation and programming are the
sole responsibility of the employer.

The following test procedure must be performed by qualified personnel at
installation and after any maintenance, adjustment or modification to the
presence sensing mats, the MC3 controller or the machine and machine control
circuitry. Testing ensures that the presense sensing mats, MC3 controller,
machine and machine controll circuitry work properly to stop the machine.
Failure to test properly could result in serious injury to personnel. Familiarity
with this installation and operating manual is required before procedding.

WARNING!

To prevent severe injury to the operator or other personnel, DO
NOT operate this presence sensing safety device unless it is properly installed,
tested and inspected in accordance with all applicable ANSI, OSHA,
government, industry and company safety regulations. The guarded machine
must be capable of stopping motion anywhere in its cycle or stroke. Do not use
this safety device on a full revolution clutch machine.

1. With the machine power off, the MC3 controller power on and no
pressure on the mat sensing area, verify that either a) a green RUN
indicator is on, if set for AUTOMATIC START mode, or b) the red
STOP indicator is on if set for START/RESTART INTERLOCK
mode. In both cases the green MAT CLEAR indicator should be on.

Pass
Fail

2. If installed, press the START button to restart the controller from
an interlocked state. The green RUN indicator should now be on
and the output relays should be engergized. The mat clear indicator
should be on.

Pass
Fail

3. Step on the mat sensing area to activate the MC3 controller. The
green RUN indicator should go off and, in all operating modes, the
red STOP indicator should go on and the green MAT CLEAR
indicator should go off. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each mat in the
sensing area.

Pass
Fail

4. With the MC3 controller in the RUN condition, start the machine
to be guarded. Step on each mat in the sensing area and verify that
the machine stops immediately and that the red STOP indicator
illuminates.

Pass
Fail

5. If the presence sensing mats, MC3 controller or the machine fail
any of these tests, DO NOT run the machine. Immediately tag or
lockout the machine to prevent its use and notify the supervisor.
