Light Curtain Muting Module

Muting is the intentional suppression of the protective function of light curtains.

Light curtain muting module.

Mutingis defined as bypassing the protective function on safety related control system such as a safety light curtain during a pre determined operation of a machine. The auxiliary switching circuit energizes when the light curtain is muted e g. Faults at the light curtain muting sensors wiring terminals or safety controller are detected before the next safety demand. When suitable signals have been applied to terminals b2 and b3.

Document scopethe xpslcm1150 mute module is an accessory device used to provide a safety rated muting function in conjunction with safety light curtains. The muting function is the provisional and automatic cut out of the light curtain protective function in relation to the machine cycle. 2 no 6 amp. Muting lets materials travel through the light curtain without stopping the hazardous motion.

The output switch is normally used for connecting an indicator lamp or as feedback to a plc to confirm safety light curtain inputs at terminals b1 and b2 are overridden e g. Muting is the temporary automatic suspension of the protective function of a safeguarding device like a light curtain. Muting can only occur in a safety condition. Muting is defined as bypassing the protective function on safety related control system such as a safety.

To distinguish between material and persons the system monitors for a certain sequence of events within specific time limitations. Two types of applications are envisaged. Muting is defined as bypassing the protective function on safety related control system such as a safety light curtain during a pre. The rm 3 mute module is an accessory device used to provide a safety rated muting function in conjunction with omron sti safety light curtains and single beam safety devices.

Safety relay muting module. 1 enabling personnel access inside dangerous area during the non dangerous part of machine cycle. 1 nc 25 amp. Muting is initiated by signals from muting sensors.

Multiple sensors are configured to detect the incoming material and to initiate the muting function. The xpslcmut1160 muting safety module is an acce ssory device used to provide a safety rated muting function in conjunction with safety light curtain. In material handling applications material is allowed to pass through the protective field without shutting down the machine. Muting can for example be used to transport workpieces into the hazardous area monitored by a light curtain without stopping the machine.
