Overview
The System Multiplexer / Permissive Module will allow a Remote Lockout Station (RLS) to control up to four ElectroGuard® systems simultaneously. If
there is a need to control more than four
Multiplexer / Permissive Module will accept up to six RLS inputs. A maximum of 60 RLSs can be supported by using six 10 port Expansion Modules. The
System Multiplexer / Permissive Module is also available with a "Permissive" option. The "Permissive" option allows the machine controlling the process or
drive system to bring the machine or process to a predeternined stopping point prior to removal of power by the ElectroGuard® system. Once the
ElectroGuard® system isolates the energy the machine control can not re-energize the ElectroGuard®.

Section 2
Installation of an Enclosed System Multiplexer / Permissive Module
To install a factory or customer enclosed System Multiplexer / Permissive Module, perform the following steps:
1. Determine a suitable location for mounting the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module enclosure.
2. Based on the enclosure selected, locate and mark the necessary mounting bolt hole locations on the mounting surface. Drill and tap as needed
for mounting bolts suitable for the support of the enclosed System Multiplexer / Permissive Module.
IMPORTANT: Before mounting an enclosed System Multiplexer / Permissive Module and based upon installation requirements, the openings for conduit or cable
fittings should be made to the enclosure.
If enclosure is customer supplied, conduit or cable fitting openings should be made before installing the open style System Multiplexer / Permissive Module in the
enclosure. This should be done to avoid contaminating the module with fabricating debris.
If enclosure is factory supplied, the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module should be removed from the enclosure, prior to making any openings for conduit or
cable fittings, to help avoid module contamination (see Section 1 for instructions on removing the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module from an enclosure).
3. Support the enclosure while aligning it with the mounting bolt holes.
4. Install enclosure mounting bolts and tighten to torque required for mounting bolt size selected.
5. Mount the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module inside the enclosure (see Section 1 for instructions on installing the System Multiplexer /
Permissive in an enclosure).
6. Select which System Multiplexer / Permissive Module connector plugs will require wiring (see Table 1 and Figures 1 and 3).

The EXB1 connector provides control power and allows the interface to the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module from the Control Module in the
ElectroGuard® Power Panel. This is accomplished by wiring from the EXB1 connector at the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module to any one of
the RLS ports on the Control Module. The EXB2 thru EXB4 connectors allow the interface of the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module to
additional ElectroGuard® Power Panels. This is accomplished by wiring from the EXB2 thru EXB4 connectors at the System Multiplexer / Permissive
Module to any one of the RLS ports on the Control Module in the other ElectroGuard® Power Panels. See Section 3.
The EXB2 thru EXB4 connectors also allow for the series connection of up to three System Multiplexer / Permissive Modules. This is accomplished
by wiring from the EXB2 thru EXB4 connectors at the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module to the RLS_A connector of the series added System
Multiplexer Module. See Figure 7, Section 3.

The cable lengths in Table 2 and Table 3 represent the total wire impedance allowed to help ensure proper operation of the safety monitoring relays
used in the isolation system. Consult Rockwell Automation for cable lengths when series connecting System Multiplexer / Permissive Modules.
NOTE: When series connecting the System Multiplexer / Permissive Modules, two maximum cable lengths must be taken into consideration. One
cable length is the maximum distance from the Control Module to the last series-connectedSystem Multiplexer / Permissive Module. The other cable
length is the RLS circuit length. See Appendix C of the Electro-Guard® User Manual regarding length calculation, conductor sizing and installation
scenarios.

IMPORTANT: The System Multiplexer / Permissive Module can support a maximum of 60 RLSs by using six 10-port Expansion Modules.
IMPORTANT: Connector plugs provided on ElectroGuard® Control Modules and System Multiplexer / Permissive Modules are factory shipped with two jumper
wires installed (see Figure 4). These two jumper wires must be removed and discarded when wiring is performed to connect a Remote Lockout Station to the
connector plug. Failure to remove the two jumper wires prevents proper operation of the RLS "System Isolated" indicator light.
IMPORTANT: When routing the cables from the Remote Lockout Stations to the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module, care must be taken to protect the
cables from physical damage and cable must be run in conduit when outside enclosed.
IMPORTANT: Cables to the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module must not run adjacent to power conductors or be run in a line voltage wireway.
(3)
Section 2 (Cont'd)
Installation of an System Multiplexer / Permissive Module
ATTENTION: Hazardous voltage may be present on the load terminals of the ElectroGuard® Power Panel when the System Isolated Light is illuminated
under the following conditions:
· The System Multiplexer is in a Master - Slave (series) configuration.
· RLS(s) are connected to both the master and Slave System Multiplexers.
In this configuration clearly identify the power panel(s) that are being controlled by each RLS.
IMPORTANT: The EXB1 connector must be connected to the Control Module in one of ElectroGuard® Systems connected to the System Multiplexer /
Permissive Module. The System Multiplexer / Permissive Module derives its control power through the EXB1 connector.
IMPORTANT: The System Multiplexer / Permissive Module can accomodate up to a maximum of 6 RLSs. If less than the maximum number of RLSs is
needed for the installation, the unused RLS connectors must be jumpered out. The jumpers are necessary to simulate an RLS in the ON position. For example, if
RLS S#_F is not needed:
1) Remove RLS Plug, firmly grip the strain relief pad holding the RLS S#_F.
2) Remove the connector by pulling it away from the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module.
3) Once the jumpers are installed, re-insert the connector plug into the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module.
Select the RLS port and connector plug on the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module to be dedicated to the RLS being installed. Remove
these plugs by firmly grasping their strain relief tabs and pulling straight from the port. Wire each terminal block to its corresponding plug
using appropriate cable (see Figure 3).

Section 3
Wiring the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module to the Control Module (EXB1 Connectors)
ATTENTION: Hazardous voltage may be present on the load terminals of the ElectroGuard® Power Panel when the System Isolated Light is illuminated if
the jumper wires (see Figure 5) are not removed when multiple Power Panels are connected. The EXB2 thru EXB4 connector plugs provided on the
System Multiplexer / Permissive Module are factory shipped with two jumper wires installed (see Figure 5). These two jumper wires must be removed
and discarded when wiring is performed to connect an ElectroGuard® Power Panel. Failure to remove the two jumper wires will cause the System
Multiplexer / Permissive Module not to receive the proper system isolated status signals from the Power Panels and the System Isolated light may
illuminate when all power Panels have not gone to the isolated state.
IMPORTANT: The EXB1 connector must be connected to the Control Module in one of ElectroGuard® Systems connected to the System Multiplexer /
Permissive Module. The System Multiplexer / Permissive Module derives its control power through the EXB1 connector.
1. Select wire size to connect the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module to the Control Module or to series connect an System Multiplexer
Module based upon Table 3.
2. Install the interconnecting wiring between the EXB connector plug on the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module and the RLS connector
plug selected for connection to the Control Module (see Figures 6). When series connecting the System Multiplexer Module, install the
interconnecting wiring between the EXB2, 3 or 4 connector plug to the RLS_A connector plug on the series connected System Multiplexer
Module.

IMPORTANT: If RLS status signals are required, proceed to Section 5 for instructions on wiring of the PLC1EXB connector plug on the System Multiplexer /
Permissive Module before performing Step 6. If using the Permissive option, proceed to Section 4 for instructions on wiring the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module
to the PLC before performing Step 6.
6. Commision the unit per Chapter 3 of the ElectroGuard User Manual Revision 2030_UM003A_EN_P or later.

Section 4
Wiring the Permissive Option to the PLC (PER1)
ATTENTION: Hazardous Voltage; Voltage from sources other than the ElectoGuard® may be present on the PER1.
Sequence of events for System Multiplexer / Permissive Module option:
1. The PLC outputs are connected to the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module terminals PER1 (7) and (8) and PER1 (9) and (10), see Figure 8.
The outputs must be pulsed at a rate of 10 - 200Hz with a duty cycle of 10 - 90%. This signal is used by the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module
as a "heart beat" which holds the output of the System Multiplexer / permissive Module in the "ON" or closed state. Thus holding the ElectroGuard
system in the "ON" or Non-isolated state.
2. When a RLS is turned OFF, a signal is transmitted to the control system via a PLC connection on the RLS auxiliary contacts. Note that the outputs
of the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module remain in the "ON" or closed state.
3. When the customer's control system is at a predetermined stopping point, the control system, via the PLC outputs are turned to an off state (no heart
beat) and the outputs of the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module are then switched to the "OFF" or open state.
4. The system isolation function is then initiated on all of the ElectroGuard
®
5. When all of the ElectroGuard
systems are in the isolated state, the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module sends the "Isolated" signal to the RLS
and the RLS System Isolated pilot light on the RLS will be illuminated. The RLS now has control of the ElectroGuard® and the energy can only be
restored to the machine or process by switching all of the RLSs connected to the multiplexers to the "on" state.
The output status of safety relay SR1 can be monitored on connector plug PER1 terminals 1 and 2 (see Figure 9). When the System Multiplexer /
Permissive Module is instructing the ElectroGuard® systems to "Isolate", a set of contacts will open between terminals PER1 (1) and (2).
The output status of safety relay SR7 can be monitored on connector plug PER1 terminals 3 and 4 (see Figure 9). When the PLC is allowing the
ElectroGuard® systems to "Isolate", a set of contacts will close between terminals PER1 (3) and (4).

Wiring for the RLS Status Signals from PLC1EXB Connector
The System Multiplexer / Permissive Modules can provide status signals for each Remote Lockout Station connected to them. These signals are
provided via an auxiliary contact within the RLS. When the RLS is in the OFF position, the auxiliary contact will be open. Conversely, when the RLS
is in the ON position, the auxiliary contact will be closed. These status signals can be wired to a customer supplied remote PLC, or to the optional
Remote I/O or communication modules installed in the ElectroGuard power panel.
See Figure 10 for wiring of the PLC1EXB connector in the System Multiplexer / Permissive Module to provide RLS status output signals.
