WARNING
A warning notice indicates an actual or potential risk or health hazard. They are designed
to help you to prevent accidents.
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the equipment operators.
Please read this chapter carefully before working with a Flexi Classic gateway.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
The Flexi Classic gateway must only be installed, commissioned and serviced by qualified
safety personnel.
Qualified safety personnel are defined as persons who …
have undergone the appropriate technical training
and
have been instructed by the responsible machine operator in the operation of the
machine and the current valid safety guidelines
and
have access to the operating instructions “Flexi Classic Gateways” and “Flexi Classic
Modular Safety Controller” and have read and familiarised themselves with them.
WARNING
WARNING
2.2 Correct use
The Flexi Classic gateways can only be operated with a Flexi Classic system.
The Flexi Classic gateways are not suitable for operation on a safety fieldbus!
These gateways only generate non-safety-related fieldbus data (status bytes) for control
and diagnostics purposes.
These modules may only be used by qualified personnel and only on the machine where
they have been installed and initialised by qualified personnel in accordance with the
operating instructions.
Pay attention to the safety notes and safety measures on the Flexi Classic safety
controller!
If the device is used for any other purposes or modified in any way — also during mounting
and installation — any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become void.
During the mounting, installation and usage of the Flexi Classic safety controller, ob-
serve the standards and directives applicable in your country.
The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, commissioning,
use and periodic technical inspection of the Flexi Classic safety controller, in
particular …
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine
where a Flexi Classic safety controller is used. The machine operator is to be instructed
in the use of the device by specialist personnel and must be instructed to read the operating instructions.
The Flexi Classic system complies, as per the “radiated emissions” generic standard, with
the requirements of class A (industrial applications). the Flexi Classic system is therefore
only suitable for use in an industrial environment.
2.3 Environmental protection
The Flexi Classic gateways are designed for minimum impact on the environment, they
consume only a minimum of energy and resources.
At work, always act in an environmentally responsible manner.
2.3.1 Disposal
Unusable or irreparable devices should always be disposed as per the applicable national
regulations on waste disposal (e.g. European waste code 16 02 14).
We would be pleased to be of assistance to you on the disposal of these devices. Contact
us.

WARNING
2.3.2 Separation of materials
Only qualified safety personnel are allowed to separate materials!
Caution is required when dismantling devices. There is a risk of injuries.
Before you send the devices for appropriate recycling, it is necessary to separate the different materials in the Flexi Classic gateways.
Separate the housing from the rest of the parts (in particular the circuit board).
Send the separated parts for recycling as appropriate (see Tab. 1).
he Flexi Classic gateways generate non-safety-related fieldbus data (status bytes) for con-
T
trol and diagnostics purposes. These status bytes contain the input and output states as
well as fault and status information. The nature and scope of the diagnostic data are de-
ined during planning and for the mapping.
f
n addition, you can save status bytes and diagnostic data on a PC with the aid of the PRO-
I
FIBUS-DP Master Simulator and the file flexi_config_list.xls, and document the settings for
the entire system (see section 4.2.2 “Documenting with PROFIBUS-DP Master Simulator”.
A Flexi Classic gateway has four short circuit-proof application diagnostic outputs for controlling non-safety functions. It is not allowed to connect any safety-related loads or inputs
of the Flexi Classic system with a safety function to these four application diagnostic outputs.
The operation of the safety-related functions of the Flexi Classic system is not affected by
the bus coupling. There is no information flow from external fieldbus systems over the
gateway to the safety system.
The modules are not suitable for operation on a safety fieldbus. They do not monitor the
functionality of the fieldbus or the digital application diagnostic outputs (X1-X4).
A Flexi Classic gateway can only be operated on a Flexi Classic system. It does not have a
dedicated voltage supply. It is only possible to use one Flexi Classic gateway per system.
The gateways are fitted in a 22.5 mm wide housing for 35-mm rails in accordance with
EN 50022. The devices have a removable screw terminal for each of the control outputs.
3.1 System information transmitted by the modules

– input states on all Flexi Classic modules
– state of all safety outputs (Q1-Q4 or O
– control circuit configuration for all Flexi Classic modules
– settings for all program and function switches on the Flexi Classic modules
error and status information on all Flexi Classic modules
– erroneous system configuration, feedback circuits
– exceeding the synchronous monitoring time (closing a safety door)
– process error on dual-channel applications (e.g. on opening/closing a safety door)
– cross circuit on the inputs
– cross-circuit on the safety outputs, internal error (error classes)
High byte/low byte for the 16-bit checksum on the system configuration.
The system configuration contains all function settings, the configuration jumpers, the
number and order of the Flexi Classic modules inserted, the software versions etc. CRC1
and CRC2 together form the 16-bit checksum.

Note
We recommend you to make a note of the slot list CRC and keep this information in the
control cabinet.
Status byte for the assignment of the 10 bytes B1-B10.
The RSP-ID is used to confirm that the required contents have been provided by the gateway in B1-B10. When the RSP-ID has the same value as the REQ-ID, the data transfer is
complete.
As PLC cycles, fieldbus cycles and diagnostics cycles are generally not synchronised, on a
change in the REQ-ID the PLC should always wait for the RSP-ID prior to the evaluation of
the bytes B1-B10.

4.1.4 Bus cable
cable UE410-PRO
The bus topology for PROFIBUS-DP is a linear structure comprising a screened, twisted
2Fcore cable with active bus termination at both ends. The possible bus lengths are 100 m
at 12 MBit/s up to 1,200 m at 94 KBit/s.
In the normal case the UE410-PRO is used on a DP master that looks up the device
characteristics in the so-called GSD file.
You will find the GSD file for PLC interfacing with Profibus support in the Internet at
www.ue410flexi.com.
The UE410-PRO provides at least 4 bytes of input data and 4 bytes of output data (2 bytes
of which are unused). The GSD identifier for this I/O module SCB1 Basic1 4 Byte in/out is
33h. If the DP master is configured with the aid of a GSD file, it is imperative this module is
included in the planning.
The UE410-PRO can provide further I/O modules as an option if included in the DP master
during the planning by the user. For more detailed diagnostics, the I/O module SCB2
Basic2 2 Byte in with the GSD identifier 11h is available.
A further optional I/O module is DIAG 10 Byte in with the GSD identifier 19h. Up to 4 units
of this module can be included in the planning.
There are therefore six possible ways of planning the UE410-PRO. Shown is the order of
the GSD identifiers for each plan:
