In case of failure, the leakage current flows to the OSSD cable.

The downstream control element must recognise this state as LOW. A safety PLC must detect this state.

The load induction generates an induced voltage during the

switch-off, which compromises the downstream components (spark quenching element).

Standards: EN ISO 13849-1, EN 62061 PL: up to e Control category: up to 4 PFH value: 6.19 x 10-9 / h SIL: up to 3 Service life: 20 years

2.9 Functions

The system consists of a receiver and a transmitter. For the described functions, no further switching elements are required. For the diagnostics and function selection, a PC-software is offered as an accessory. For the diagnostics or the setting of parameters with a PC, the BUS converter NSR-0801 is required (not included in scope of delivery).

The system has the following features:

• Protective mode (automatic start after release of the protection field)

• Start interlock

• Restart Interlock (manual reset)

• Contactor control (EDM)

• Beam coding

• Blanking of fixed protection field areas

• Blanking of movable protection field areas

Factory setting

The system features many functions without needing any additional devices. The following table gives an overview of the possible functions and the factory settings configuration.

NSR-0801 and PC-software

2.9.1 Protective mode

The protective mode switches the OSSD outputs to ON state (protection field not interrupted), without external release of a switching device. The protected operation is activated with an electrical connection between pin 1 and pin 6 of the receiver This type of protection generates an automatic restart of the machine if the protection field is not interrupted.

This operating mode may only be chosen in conjunction with the restart interlock (manual reset) of the machine. This operating mode must not be chosen, when persons can step behind the protection field.

With a new start of the system a 24 VDC H signal on the input of pin 1 causes the operating mode to change to the setting mode.

2.9.2 Restart interlock (manual reset)

The restart interlock (manual reset) prevents an automatic enabling of the outputs (OSSD's ON state) after switch-on of the operating voltage or an interruption of the protection field. The system switches the outputs only to ON state, when an external command device (restart button) generates an enabling signal at the restart input (receiver). The operating mode restart interlock is activated with an electrical connection between pin 5 and pin 6 on the receiver.

The command devices (enabling button) must be installed outside of the hazardous area. The hazardous area must be easily visible to the user.

By default neither the restart interlock (manual reset) nor the protective mode is active. You must choose one of both operating modes to enable the OSSD outputs. If no type of protection is selected, you will obtain the following signalisation through the LED status indication in the receiver:

LED OSSD OFF (red) + LED restart (yellow) flashing

2.9.3 Fixed blanking SLC 420

The SLC 420 can blank stationary parts in the protection field.

Multiple protection field areas can be blanked. If small changes are made within the fixed blanking area, each time 1 beam can be additionally blanked to increase the tolerance. Refer to the chapter "Floating blanking".

Fixed blanking area

E1 R1

The range of the fixed blanking can be arbitrarily chosen in the protection field. The first beam line, which realises the optical synchronisation and is located immediately behind the diagnostic window, cannot be blanked. The area of the fixed blanking must not be modified after the teachin process. Any change of the area or removal of the part from the protection field will be detected by the system. As a result, the outputs are disabled (locked). This locking can be neutralised by executing a new teach-in process in accordance with the actual beam interruptions.

The function is activated by means of the NSR-0801 BUS converter and a PC or laptop. If the function is activated, the LED blanking in the diagnostic window of the receiver starts flashing.

• The remaining lateral areas must be protected against intrusion by means of mechanical covers.

• The lateral covers must be fixed with the object.

• Partial covers are not authorised.

• After the fixed blanking, the protection field must be tested

by means of the test rod.

• The restart interlock function of the safety light curtain or the machine must be activated.

2.9.4 Floating blanking SLC 420

The SLC 420 can blank movable parts in the protection field.

Cylinder for material ejection

The function enables an arbitrary floating blanking of partial areas in the protection field. The first beam, which is located immediately behind the diagnostic window, cannot be blanked.

The SLC 420 can blank one or more beams in the protection field. A combination of fixed and floating blanking is possible.

This function allows for an interruption of the protection height without the outputs being disabled in case of material movement in the protection field, e.g. material ejection or process-controlled material movement. In this way, the physical resolution changes into an effective resolution. This effective resolution must be used to calculate the safety distance. Use formula (1) to calculate the safety distance with the effective resolution if a maximum of 2 light beams are blanked; use formula (3) indicated in the "Safety distance" chapter if more than 2 light beams are blanked. The number of beams to be blanked is limited by the software, see Table Effective resolution.

In a system with a physical resolution of 14 mm, the effective resolution changes to a value of 34 mm with floating blanking of two beams. The effective resolution must be permanently known and well visible on the information label of the receiver.

The muting is configured using the BUS converter NSR-0801 and a PC / Laptop. If the function is activated, the LED blanking in the diagnostic window of the receiver starts flashing.

Perform a new calculation of the safety distance with the effective resolution. Adjust the safety distance in accordance with your calculation.

The Standard IEC/TS 62046 describes the measures that may be necessary to protect persons from hazards due to protected areas that are blanked.

2.9.5 Floating blanking SLG 420

The SLG 420 can blank movable objects in the protection eld.

4 3 2

R1E1

The function of floating blanking is allowed for only one beam taking into consideration the protective function. This function can be used for temporary beam suppression due to environmental conditions. The first beam line, which realises the optical synchronisation and is located immediately behind the diagnostic window, cannot be blanked.

The function is activated by means of the NSR-0801 BUS converter and a PC or laptop. If the function is activated, the LED blanking in the diagnostic window of the receiver starts flashing.

• The blanking of beams is not available for an SLG 420 with 2 beams!

• The blanking of one beam at the most in the SLG 420

3-beam version or the SLG 420 4-beam version is available, provided that the protective function is taken into account.

• The restart interlock (manual reset) function of the safety

light grid or the machine must be activated.

• The standard IEC/TS 62046 includes information, which

describes possibly required additional measures to prevent a person from reaching a hazard through the blanking areas of a protection field.

• After configuration, the protection field must be checked by

a responsible person by means of a test rod; in addition to that, this person must compare the size of the blanked area to the object size and if necessary provide for additional covers or a larger distance of the safety guard with regard to the hazardous point.

2.9.6 Contactor control (EDM)

The contactor control monitors the controlled switching elements (auxiliary contacts of the contactors) of both outputs. This monitoring is realised after each interruption of the protection field and prior to the restart (enabling) of the outputs. In this way, malfunctions of the relays are detected, e.g. contact welding or contact spring breakage. If the light curtain detects a malfunctioning of the switching elements, the outputs are locked, i.e. after elimination of the failure, a Power Reset is required. The auxiliary contacts must only be connected, when the

function is activated!

After the solving of a fault, a system start must be performed (voltage reset)

The contactor control is not activated upon delivery. This function is activated by means of the NSR-0801 BUS converter and a PC or laptop.

Activation of the contactor control (EDM) without software

The contactor control can be activated without PC software as of firmware version 1.23, by means of cable bridges (refer to chapter Parameterisation of the Contactor Control without PC software).

SLC 420 SLG 420

Operating instructions Safety light curtain/safety light grid

2.9.7 Start interlock

The start interlock prevents an automatic start of the machine when the supply voltage is switched on. After enabling the start interlock - by the one-time interruption of the protection field -, this protective function is deactivated until the next power reset.

The start interlock is not activated upon delivery. This function is activated by means of the NSR-0801 BUS converter and a PC or laptop.

2.10 Self-test

The system performs a complete self-test within 2 seconds after the operating voltage has been switched on. If the protection field is not interrupted, the system switches to the ON condition. In case of an error, the outputs at the receiver do not switch to the ON state. The LED OSSD OFF starts flashing, thus emitting an error message. For more information, refer to chapter Fault diagnosis.

During operation, the system continuously executes a self-test. Safetyrelevant faults are detected within the cycle time and cause the outputs to be switched off.

2.11 Beam coding A

The beam coding of the safety light curtain must be adjusted, when systems operating in each other's vicinity and a set-up as shown in the image below (no interference) is impossible. With beam coding A, a receiver can distinguish the beams of the transmitter with the same beam coding A, which are destined to this particular receiver, from foreign beams. The beam coding A must be set for each sensor (receiver and transmitter) individually. The function is activated by means of the NSR-0801 BUS converter and a PC or laptop.

If adjacent systems are operated without beam coding A, the user is at risk.

EERR

No interference

ERRE

Interference: beam coding A required!

• The beam coding A avoids mutual interference of adjacent systems.

• The beam coding A is permanently shown by the transmitter and the

receiver by means of flashing LED's (refer to LED status information).

The response time of the system is increased when beam coding A is used. To this end, the safety distance must be adjusted to the hazardous movement. Refer to chapter Response time.

3. Mounting

3.1 General conditions

The following guidelines are provided as a preventative warning notice to ensure safe and appropriate handling. These guidelines are an essential part of the safety instructions and therefore must always be observed and respected.

• The SLC must not be used on machines, which can be stopped electrically in case of emergency.

• The safety distance between the SLC and a hazardous machine movement must always be observed and respected.

• Additional mechanical safety guards must be installed so that the operator has to pass by the protection field to reach the hazardous machine parts.

• The SLC must be installed so that the personnel always must be within the detection zone when operating the machine. An incorrect installation can lead to serious injuries.

• Never connect the outputs to +24VDC. If the outputs are wired to +24VDC, they are in ON state, as a result of which they are unable to stop a hazardous situation occurring on the application/machine.

• The safety inspections must be conducted regularly.

• The SLC must not be exposed to inflammable or explosive

gasses.

• The connecting cables must be connected in accordance with the installation instructions.

• The fixing screws of the end caps and the mounting angle must be firmly tightened.

3.2 Protection field and approach

The protection field of the SLC consists of the entire range located between the protection field markings of transmitter and receiver. Additional protective devices must ensure that the operator has to pass by the protection field to reach the hazardous machine parts. The SLC must be installed so that personnel are always located within the detection zone of the safety device when operating the hazardous machine parts to be secure.

Operating instructions Safety light curtain/safety light grid

SLC 420 SLG 420

Correct installation

Hazardous machine parts can only be reached after passing through the protection field.

Persons between the protection field and hazardous machine parts must be prevented (protection against stepping over).

Unauthorised installation

Hazardous machine parts can be reached without passing through the protection field.

Persons between the protection field and hazardous machine parts is enabled.

3.3 Alignment Procedure in automatic operating mode:

1. The transmitter and the receiver must be fitted parallel to each other and at the same height.

2. Turn the transmitter and monitor the diagnostic window of the receiver. Fix the light curtain, when the LED OSSD ON (green) is on and the LED signal reception (orange) is off.

3. Determine the max. rotating angle to the left and to the right, at which the LED OSSD ON (green) is on and tighten the mounting screws in central position. Make sure that the LED signal reception (orange) is not on or flashing.

3.4 Setting mode

The alignment of the sensors is carried out using the setting mode.

Activating setting mode

If +24 V is on the input (pin 1, receiver) "Release restart interlock" at system start for at least two seconds (by pressing the button restart), the system changes over to the setting mode of operation.

The signal strength at the receiver is indicated with the signal strength LED (colour orange) through light pulses. The better the alignment, the higher the frequency of the light pulses. The alignment is optimal when the light pulses switch over to continuous light.

If there is no optical synchronisation between the transmitter and the receiver, a light pulse is emitted every 3 seconds. The setting mode is ended by a system start ( +UB OFF/ON).

Additional signalling with the SLG 420 by the status light

In this mode the signal strength of the beam is signalled to the status indicator with the lowest value through light pulses (colour yellow). The better the alignment, the higher the frequency of the light pulses. The alignment is correct when the light pulses switch over to continuous light.

3.5 Safety distance

The safety distance is the minimum distance between the protection field of the safety light curtain and the hazardous area. The safety distance must be observed to ensure that the hazardous area cannot be reached before the hazardous movement has come to standstill.

Calculation of the safety distance to EN ISO 13855

The safety distance depends on the following elements:

• Stopping time of the machine (calculation by run-on time

measurement)

• Response time of the machine and the safety light curtain and the

downstream relay (entire safety guard)

• Approach speed

• Resolution of the safety light curtain

• Vertical or horizontal installation

Safety light curtain SLC 420

The safety distance for resolutions 14 mm up to 40 mm (vertical installation) is calculated by means of the following formula:

(1) S = K x T + C [mm]

S = Safety distance [mm] K = Approach speed 2000 mm/s T = Total reaction time (machine run-on time, reaction time of the safety

guard, relays, etc.) d = Resolution of the safety light curtain C = additional distance depending on the resolution,

C = 8 (d - 14) [mm]

If value S <= 500 mm after the calculation of the safety distance, then use this value. If the value S >= 500 mm then redetermine the distance S using an approach speed K of 1600 mm/s:

(2) S = 1600 mm/s * T + 8 (d - 14) [mm]

If the new value S > 500 mm, use this value as safety distance. If the new value S < 500 mm, use a minimum distance of S = 500 mm.

Example:

Reaction time of the safety light curtain = 10 ms Resolution of the safety light curtain = 14 mm Stopping time of the machine = 330 ms

S = 2000 mm/s * (330 ms + 10 ms) + 8(14 mm - 14 mm) S = 680 mm S = > 500 mm, therefore new calculation with K = 1600 mm/s S = 544 mm

Calculation of the safety distance for SLG 420 and SLC 420 with a resolution d > 40 mm

(3) S = ( 1600 mm/s * T ) + 850 mm

S = Safety distance [mm] T = Stopping time of the machine + reaction time of the

safety light curtain K = Approach speed 1600 mm/s C = Additional distance 850 mm

The following mounting heights must be observed:

To prevent persons from stepping over the protection field this dimension must be imperatively respected and observed.

The formulae and calculation examples are related to the vertical set-up (refer to drawing) of the light curtain with regard to the hazardous point. Please observe the applicable harmonised EN standards and possible applicable national regulations.

To calculate the minimum distances of the safety guards with regards to the hazardous point, the EN ISO 13855 must be observed. If reaching through the protection field is possible, take care with the calculation of the safety distance and add an amount as per norm EN ISO 13855.

The norm EN ISO 13855 defines two types of safety distances,

- Access through the protection area with an additional distance C, according to the resolving power

- Access over the protection area with an additional distance CRO according to table 1

If it is possible to reach through the hazardous area (vertical alignment) then both values C and C

have to be determined. The larger of the two values is to be used for calculating the safety distance. Calculating the safety distance with CRO:

CRO

= K x T + C

K = Approach speed T = Total reaction time (machine run-on time, reaction time of the safety

guard, relays, etc.)

CRO = Additional distance due to reaching through the hazardous area

SLC 420 SLG 420

Operating instructions Safety light curtain/safety light grid

Example: Calculation of the safety distance, vertical installation

Total response time T = 220 ms, resolving capability d = 30 mm, height of the hazardous area 1400 mm, height of the protection area above the floor 1600 mm

S = K * T + C = 2000 mm/s * 220 ms + 8 (30 -14) = 568 mm

(S > 500 mm, following K = 1600 mm/s)

S = K * T + C = 1600 mm/s * 220 ms + 8 (30 -14) = 480 mm

(S < 500 mm, following S = 500 mm) S = 500 mm

Safety distance C

CRO

= K x T + CRO = 1600 mm/s x 220 ms + 650 mm = 1002 mm

CRO

> S i.e.

Safety distance S = 1002 mm

If the safety distance of 1002 mm is too large for the application, the protection field height can be increased from 1600 mm to 1800 mm, this makes the value CRO = 0 mm (table 1).

Result: By adjusting the protection field height to the value 1800 mm above the floor results in a safety distance: S = 500 mm

3.5.1 Minimum distance to reflecting surfaces

During the installation, the effects of reflecting surfaces must be taken into account. In case of an incorrect installation, interruptions of the protection field could possibly not be detected, which could lead to serious injuries. The hereafter-specified minimum distances with regard to reflecting surfaces (metal walls, floors, ceilings or parts) must be imperatively observed.

4.2 Activation of the contactor control (EDM) without PC software

The contactor control can be activated without PC software as of firmware version 2.0 in diagnostic mode by means of cable bridges.

To activate the EDM function without PC software, proceed in the following way:

Establish the connections in accordance with the wiring diagram, see below.

Both outputs OSSD1 and OSSD2 of the light curtain must be separated from the machine control.

E1 24VDC

The parameter configuration EDM is activated for at least 2 seconds when the system starts if there is a wire link between OSSD 1 ➔ OSSD2 and a +24V level on the input restart interlock. The active operating mode parameterisation is signalled by the cyclical changing of the red, yellow and green LEDs until the restart interlock button is no longer being pressed. The parameterisation can now be made by pressing the button.

• If the red and greed LEDs flash at the same time, this indicates that

the EDM function is active, if only the red LED flashes then the EDM function is not active.

• Holding down the button from 2.5 to 6 seconds changes the state of

the EDM function between active and not active and saves the current

selection. After the parameterisation, the link OSSD1 ➔ OSSD2 is to be removed and a system start is to be carried out (+ 24V, OFF/ON). If the EDM function is parameterised with the wire link, the max. value of 500 ms is set for the signal delay. This value can be adjusted using the PC software / NSR-0801.

If the parameterisation is missing the process can be repeated.

5. Set-up and maintenance

5.1 Check before start-up

Prior to start-up, the following items must be checked by the responsible person.

Wiring check prior to start-up

1. If a power supply is used then it must comply with IEC 60449 PELV and should be able to bridge a loss of power for at least 20 ms as per EN 60204.

2. Presence of a voltage supply with correct polarity at the SLC.

3. The connecting cable of the transmitter is correctly connected to the

transmitter and the connecting cable of the receiver correctly to the receiver.

4. The double insulation between the light curtain output and an

external potential is guaranteed.

5. The outputs OSSD1 and OSSD2 are not connected to +24 VDC.

6. The connected switching elements are not connected to the +24

VDC and do not exceed the allowable load on the safety output. There are no short circuits between the safety switching outputs.

7. If two or more SLC are used within close range compared to each other, an alternating arrangement must be observed. Any mutual interference of the systems must be prevented.

Switch the SLC on and check the operation in the following way:

The component performs a system test during approx. 2 seconds after the operating voltage has been switched on. After that, the outputs are enabled if the protection field is not interrupted. The LED "OSSD ON" at the receiver is on.

In case of incorrect functionality, please follow the instructions listed in the chapter Fault diagnostic.

5.2 Maintenance

Do not use the SLC before the next inspection is terminated. An incorrect inspection can lead to serious and mortal injuries.

Conditions

For safety reasons, all inspection results must be archived. The operating principle of the SLC and the machine must be known in order to be able to conduct an inspection. If the fitter, the planning technician and the operator are different persons, please make sure that the user has the necessary information at his disposal to be able conduct the maintenance.

5.3 Regular check

A regular visual inspection and functional test, including the following steps, is recommended:

1. The component does not have any visible damages.

2. The optics cover is not scratched or soiled.

3. Hazardous machinery parts can only be accessed by passing through the protection field of the SLC.

4. The staff remains within the detection area, when works are conducted on hazardous machinery parts.

5. The safety distance of the application exceeds the mathematically calculated one.

Operate the machine and check whether the hazardous movement stops under the hereafter-mentioned circumstances.

6. Hazardous machine parts do not move when the protection field is interrupted.

7. The hazardous machine movement is immediately stopped, when the protection field is interrupted with the test rod immediately before the transmitter, immediately before the receiver and in the middle between the transmitter and the receiver.

8. No hazardous machine movement when the test rod is within the protection field.

9. The hazardous machine movement comes to standstill, when the voltage supply of the SLC is switched off.

5.4 Half-yearly inspection

The following items must be checked every six months or when a machine setting is changed.

1. Machine stops or does not inhibit any safety function.

2. No machine modification or connection change, which affects the safety system, has taken place.

3. The outputs of the SLC are correctly connected to the machine.

4. The total response time of the machine does not exceed the response time calculated during the first putting into operation.

5. The cables, the connectors, the caps and the mounting angles are in perfect condition.

5.5 Cleaning

If the optics cover of the sensors is extremely soiled, the OSSD outputs can be disabled. Clean with a clean, soft cloth with low pressure. The use of agressive, abrasive or scratching cleaning agents, which could attack the surface, is prohibited.

6.3 Extended diagnostic

By means of the optional SLC 420 configuration software and the NSR-0801 BUS converter, an extended diagnostic can be executed. The software provides the status information of the component and can represent the individual light beams. This feature enables an optimal adjustment of the light curtain. The diagnostic mode is signalled by the OSSD ON and OSSD OFF LED‘s at the receiver. In diagnostic mode, protective mode is disabled, the ODDS outputs being locked. The change from diagnostic mode to protective mode is automatically realised after voltage reset, when the BUS converter is no longer integrated and the connecting cable of the sensor is reconnected.

7. Disassembly and disposal

7.1 Disassembly

The safety switchgear must be disassembled in a de-energised condition only.

7.2 Disposal

The safety switchgear must be disposed of in an appropriate manner in accordance with the national prescriptions and legislations.
