Overview of safety categories and standards

Machine manufacturers and operators are required by lawto ensure the safety of people and the environment.As your partner, we offer support not only with the relevant

safety-oriented products and systems, but always withup-to-date knowledge of international standards andregulations.

The EN ISO 13849-1 standard

EN ISO 13849-1 "Safety of machinery - Safety-related parts

of control systems - Part 1: General principles for design"

is based on the familiar categories in EN 954-1:1996.

It considers the complete safety functions with all devices in-volved in their implementation. With EN ISO 13849-1, safetyfunctions are also investigated from a quantitative perspectivegoing beyond the qualitative basis of EN 954-1. Performance

levels (PL) are used, for this purpose, based on the various cat-egories. It may be applied to safety-related parts of controlsystems (SRP/CS) and all types of machines, regardless of thetechnology and energy used - electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic,mechanical, etc.

The EN 62061 standard

The standard EN 62061 "Safety of machinery Functional

safety of electrical, electronic and programmable machine

control systems" considers for the first time the total

safety chain, from sensor to actuator.

In order to reach a safety integrity level such as SIL 3, it is nolonger enough that the individual components have the rele-vant certification. Instead, the entire safety function must bematched to the defined requirements. Demands on the per-

formance of non-electrical safety-related control elements formachines such as hydraulic, pneumatic, or electro-mechan-ical elements are not defined in the standard.

for reliable and flexible protection from pinch points

Pinch points and cutting edges represent a safety risk on

many machines and technical equipment. In these situa-tions, the simplest protection is implemented with rubber

switching strips that on the one hand halt the dangerous

motion in a fail-safe state and on the other hand act as a

buffer to prevent injury.

The switching strips are characterized by simple configura-tion, high performance, and easy installation. For rapid on-site installation, the switching strips are simply cut andmounted without glue.

Together with the evaluation unit, they form a safety systemapproved according to IEC/EN 614961)up to type 4.

Function principle

The rubber strip (signal transmitter) is monitored optically bymeans of a fail-safe sending/receiving sensor that is insertedinto the strip from the outside. This means that any length canbe used, cut to length as required by the customer (max.10 m).

The IR light beam passes through the strip. If it is altered orinterrupted, this will cause shutdown. Due to the reflectiveinner surface, the rubber profile can be bent to a certainextent. Shutdown can be actuated from above or from the

side.

The evaluation units in the 22.5 mm enclosure are suitable forfail-safe monitoring in control circuits up to type 4 accordingto IEC/EN 614961). Two relay safety outputs and an HL signal-ing contact are available. The unit can be operated with auto-matic or manual restart.

Application examples

Edge protection on: Protective covers of machines Automated guided vehicle systems

Lifting tables Lifting platforms Doors and gates

Functionality Standard and sequence control

Contactor control

The contactor control monitors the contactors, relays, orvalves connected downstream of the light curtain.Contact blocks with positive action contacts are required.

Start/restart inhibit

To prevent the system from immediately restarting when theprotective zone is clear following a trigger, the start/reset in-hibitor can be activated. The use of the start/reset inhibitor isrequired for access protection, because only the entry to thedanger zone is monitored but not the area between the pro-tective zone and the dangerous motion.

Sequence control

If it is necessary to enter the light curtain's protective field

once or twice (e.g. to place or remove workpieces), the se-quence control function should be selected. This functionalityis primarily required in presses.

Increased resistance to strong extraneous light

(Multi-Scan)

If strong interference is expected due to extraneous light inharsh environments, for example due to welding robots or

strobe lamps, when the beam is interrupted it is often simplerto first wait to see if the disruption continues before the out-puts are switched off.

The availability of the system is thus increased, but the re-sponse time and thus the safety clearance are also increased.

SafetyLab diagnostics and parameterization software

Alternatively, with the optional SafetyLab diagnostics and pa-rameterization software, the functions of the light curtains,light grids, and transceivers can easily be set for type 4 in ac-cordance with IEC/EN 61496 using the PC. SafetyLab can beused for devices of the function packages blanking, mutingand sequence control.

SafetyLab automatically recognizes the functionpackage and displays only the settings available to it

SIMATIC FS400 light curtainsFunctionality blanking

If there are objects permanently in the area of the light

curtain, these may be hidden using the blanking functions

so that trouble-free operation is ensured. A distinction is

made between objects in a fixed location which are per-

manently located in the protective zone, and moving

objects which can temporarily leave the protective zone.

Configuration is implemented by means of the teach-infunction, the DIP switch, the safety keys, or the SafetyLabdiagnostics and parameterization software.

Fixed blanking

If an object is permanently located in the light path, the corresponding zonecan be suppressed. This is achieved by suppressing the required number of beams.

The object must be permanently located in the area of the hidden beams. If this isnot the case, the light curtain switches the system off, because otherwise safety

can no longer can be ensured.

.

Floating blanking

If moving objects are located in the light path, any number of beams can be suppressed.The objects can move within the suppressed beams without the light curtain switchingoff.

If the moving objects are removed from the zone, the light curtain will interrupt thehazardous movement, otherwise safety can no longer be guaranteed.

Reduced resolution

If an object is located in the light path, two or three beams can be suppressed. Thedifference between reduced resolution and floating blanking is that continuousmonitoring does not take place.

The "reduced resolution" function changes the effective resolution of the light curtain.The safety clearance must be recalculated for the new resolution.

Siemens AG 2009


15/24


SIMATIC FS400 light curtains, light grids and transceiversFunctionality muting

When arranged vertically, light curtains, light grids and

transceivers are often used for protecting access points.

With additional sensor signals, the protective function can

be suppressed to allow material to be transported in or out

of danger zones, for example. The protective field is

temporarily suppressed and, once the goods have passed

through, reactivated.

Muting restart

If the power fails while goods are passing the muting sensors,for example, the valid muting sequence is interrupted. Whenthe power supply has been restored, muting is not automati-cally resumed because the muting sequence is not as expect-ed. To remove the goods from the area covered by themuting sensors, an integrated retraction mode can be activat-ed using the start key.

4-sensor sequential muting

If the material that is to be transported into the danger zonealways has the same dimensions and there is no lack of space,sequential muting is preferred.With sequential muting, four muting sensors are connected.These must be activated in a predefined sequence to trigger

muting. All four sensors must be activated simultaneously for ashort time.

2-sensor parallel muting

Parallel muting is ideal in plants in which the dimensions of thetransported goods are not constant or space requirementsmust be kept to a minimum.This procedure is also used when transport it to take place inboth directions. In addition, two muting sensors are arrangedsuch that their beams cross behind the protective field in thedanger zone.

3-sensor direction muting

3-sensor direction muting is configured in a similar way to2-sensor parallel muting. Material can only be transportedthrough the light curtain in one direction.To trigger the muting function, muting sensor M1 must first beactivated, followed by muting sensors M2 and M3. If the pathsfor muting sensors M2 and M3 are interrupted, sensor M1 doesnot need to be activated.

4-sensor parallel mutingIf the transported material is too small to be simultaneouslyrecognized by 4 sequentially arranged sensors, and the applica-tion offers no space to create the light barriers cross for2-sensor parallel muting, 4-sensor parallel muting, e.g. usinglight scanners, is a possibility. The function of 4-sensor parallelmuting corresponds to that of 2-sensor parallel muting.However, the activation signal is obtained from two sensorpairs.

Accessories

For simple installation and rapid commissioning of light cur-tains and light grids, a practical range of accessories is avail-able.

The light curtains and light grids for floor mounting can thusbe mounted and adjusted ruggedly in mounting columns ofdifferent lengths without additional lateral mounts.

An appropriate mounting system is available for the efficientmounting of muting sensors. With the installation of optionalprotective screens, damage and scratches on the devices canalso be avoided in difficult ambient conditions, thus increas-ing the availability of the machinery.

ASIsafe modules are available with high degrees of protectionto allow cost-effective connection of conventional light cur-tains, grids and transceivers to the the AS-Interface Safety atWork on the field level.

An all-round view for safety

The SIMATIC FS600 laser scanners work over an angle of

190 and at a distance of up to 6.25 m. In this area, the laserscanner reliably detects any persons and objects.It works like this: The distance sensor emits light pulses at reg-ular intervals. If they hit an obstruction, the sensor receivesthe reflected light and evaluates it. If this is evaluated as thepredefined area to be protected, a stop function is triggered.

With up to 8 programmable protective field pairs that can beselected during operation, our laser scanners can be optimallyadapted to any application on machines, production robots,conveyor systems, or vehicles.

Different versions support optimal integration in the automa-

tion system: Conventionally in the safety circuit, overPROFIBUS with PROFIsafe, or over AS-Interface with ASIsafe.

SIMATIC FS600 laser scanners20

Laser scanner for small protection zones and motion monitoring

Application in small protection zones

The SIMATIC FS660 SR (Short Range) laser scanner has beendesigned for safety engineering applications in small protec-tion zones of up to 2.15 m. Based on the functionality of theFS660I devices with horizontal and vertical protection, the la-ser scanner also impresses customers with its attractive price.

Applications:

Automated guided vehicle systems with low speeds andshort braking distances (usually 1.5 to 2 m)

Stationary use for access protection at low entrances, e.g.at robot cells, or for area protection on punches or presses

Motion monitoring for material handling equipment withlinear traverse path

The SIMATIC FS670 laser scanners for motion monitoring havebeen specially designed for applications material handlingequipment with linear traverse path. In addition to the stan-dard safety functions for operator protection, it reliably calcu-lates distances for positioning as well as velocities.It monitors up to 6 different velocities and will automaticallycorrect the selected protective field if necessary. No additionalincremental encoders are required due to the integrated ve-locity calculation - the safety laser scanner and the standardPLC together execute all the functions of velocity-dependent

monitoring of the protective field.

Benefits at a glanceSIMATIC FS670

Distance measurement for positioning

Eight programmable and switchable protective zoneswith different ranges of 2.15, 4, and 6.25 m
