2. Product description
2.1 Ordering code
This operating instructions manual applies to the following types:
SRB 304ST
Only if the information described in this operating instructions
manual are realised correctly, the safety function and therefore
the compliance with the Machinery Directive is maintained.
2.2 Special versions
For special versions, which are not listed in the order code below 2.1,
these specifications apply accordingly, provided that they correspond to
the standard version.
2.3 Destination and use
The safety-monitoring modules for integration in safety circuits are
designed for fitting in control cabinets. They are used for the safe
evaluation of the signals of positive break position switches for safety
functions or magnetic safety sensors on sliding, hinged and removable
safety guards as well as emergency stop control devices and AOPD's
(safety light barriers).
The safety function is defined as the opening of enabling circuits 13-14,
23-24 and 33-34 when the inputs S11-S12 and/or S21-S22 and/or
S31-S32 are opened. The safety-relevant current paths with the output
contacts 13-14, 23-24 and 33-34 meet the following requirements
under observation of a PFH value assessment (also refer to chapter 2.5
"Safety classification"):
– Control category 4 – PL e to DIN EN ISO 13849-1

4.1 General information for electrical connection
As far as the electrical safety is concerned, the protection
against unintentional contact of the connected and therefore
electrically interconnected apparatus and the insulation of the
feed cables must be designed for the highest voltage, which
can occur in the device.
The electrical connection may only be carried out by
authorised personnel in a de-energised condition.

The following conditions must be previously checked and met:
1. Correct fixing
2. Check the integrity of the cable entry and connections
3. Check the safety-monitoring module's enclosure for damage.
4. Check the electrical function of the connected sensors and their
influence on the safety-monitoring module and the downstream
actuators
6.2 Maintenance
A regular visual inspection and functional test, including the following
steps, is recommended:
1. Check the correct fixing of the safety-monitoring module
2. Check the cable for damages
3. Check electrical function
The device has to be integrated into the periodic check-ups
according to the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health,
however at least 1 × year.
Damaged or defective components must be replaced.
7. Disassembly and disposal
Fig. 1Fig. 2
Resetting the hybrid fuse
• The hybrid fuse of the safety-monitoring module can be reset
by switching the operating voltage off and back on or by actuating
button S1.
• Button S1 is located underneath the front cover of the safetymonitoring module (see Fig. 2 and 3).

5.3 Notes
Signalling outputs (see fig. 4)
• The input circuits are signalled through the signalling outputs Y1
(channel 1) and Y2 (channel 2).
• The status of the hybrid fuse is signalled through signalling output
Y3. If the hybrid fuse is not activated, Y3 is supplied with operating
voltage.

8.2 Start configuration
External reset button (with edge detection) (see Fig. 6)
• The external reset button is integrated as shown.
• The safety-monitoring module is activated by the reset (after release)
of the reset button (= detection of the trailing edge). Faults in the reset
button, e.g. welded contacts or manipulations which could lead to an
inadvertent restart, are detected in this configuration and will result in
an inhibition of the operation.
Automatic start (see Fig. 7)
• The automatic start is programmed by connecting the feedback circuit
to the terminals. If the feedback circuit is not required, establish a
bridge.
• Caution:
When the device is used with the operating mode "Automatic start",
an automatic restart after a shutdown in case of emergency must
be prevented by the upstream control to EN 60204-1, paragraph
9.2.5.4.2.

The connection of magnetic safety switches to the
SRB 304ST safety-monitoring module is only admitted
when the requirements of the standard EN 60 947-5-3
are observed.
As the technical data are regarded, the following minimum
requirements must be met:
– switching capacity: min. 240 mW
– switching voltage: min. 24 VDC
– switching current: min. 10 mA
For example, the following safety sensors from Schmersal
meet the requirements:
– BNS 33-02z-2187, BNS 33-02zG-2187
– BNS 260-02z, BNS 260-02zG
– BNS 260-02-01z, BNS 260-02-01zG
When sensors with LED are wired in the control circuit
(protective circuit), the following rated operating voltage
must be observed and respected:
– 24 VDC with a max. tolerance of –5 %/+ +20 %
– 24 VAC with a max. tolerance of –5 %/+ +10 %
