SINGLE INTERLOCK
The input status of a moving safety guard or a safe-
ty door is checked by the SINGLE INTERLOCK func-
tion block. If the moving safety guard or the safety
door is opened, the OUTPUT output is "0" (FALSE),
otherwise the OUTPUT output is "1" (TRUE).
Parameters
Manual Reset: If selected, a reset can be requested
on every activation of the moving safety guard or
the safety door. Otherwise the activation of the
output will correspond directly to the input condi-
tions.
There are two types of reset: "Manual" and "Moni-
tored". On the selection of the manual reset, the system only checks the signal transition
from 0 to 1. With the monitored reset the double transition from 0 to 1 and then back to
0 is checked.
WARNING: If Manual Reset is selected, the next Input must be used. Example: If In-
put1 and Input2 are used for the function block, Input3 must be used for the reset
input.
Output Test: Using this option you can select which test output signals are to be sent to
the component contacts. Short circuits between the wires can be detected and rectified by
means of this additional check. For this purpose it is necessary to configure the test out-
put signals (from the test output signals available).
StartUp Test: If selected, the test is undertaken on switching on the external components.
This test is undertaken by opening the moving safety guard or the safety door to carry
out one complete function test and to activate the output. This test is only requested on
starting the machine (on switching on the module).
Filter (ms): This parameter makes it possible to filter the signals that are received from
the external contactors. The filter can be set to between 3 and 250 ms and removes any
contact bounce. The time set for the filter affects the calculation of the total response
time of the module.
Enable Error Out: If selected, an error detected by the function block is signaled.
Item Description: Here you can enter a functional description for the component. The text
is displayed in the upper part of the symbol.
