Inxpect SRE 200 Series - 8.5 Validate the safety functions

Three types of assignment are possible:
l
Manual: to assign the Node ID to a sensor at a time. Can be performed with all the sensors already
connected or after each connection. Useful for adding a sensor or to change Node ID to a sensor.
l
Automatic: to assign the Node IDs to all the sensors at once. To be performed when all the sensors are
connected.
Note: the control unit assigns the Node ID in ascending order of sensor ID (SID).
l
Semi-automatic: wizard for connecting the sensors and assign the Node ID one sensor at a time.
Procedure
1. Start the application.
2. Click Configuration and verify that the number of sensors in the configuration is the same as those
installed.
3. Click Settings > Node IDAssignment.
4. Proceed according to the type of assignment:
If the assignment is... Then...
manual 1. Click DISCOVERCONNECTEDSENSORS to display the connected
sensors.
2. To assign a Node ID, click Assign for the unassigned Node ID in the
Configured sensors list.
3. To change a Node ID, click Change for the already assigned Node
ID in the Configured sensors list.
4. Select the SIDof the sensor and confirm.
automatic 1. Click DISCOVERCONNECTEDSENSORS to display the connected
sensors.
2. Click ASSIGN NODE IDS > Automatic: the control unit assigns the
Node ID in ascending order of sensor ID (SID).
semi-automatic Click ASSIGN NODE IDS > Semi-automatic and follow the
instructions displayed.
8.4.7 Synchronize the control units
If there is more than one control unit in the area, perform the following steps:
1. In the Inxpect Safety application, click Settings > Advanced.
2. In Multi-control unit synchronization, assign a different Control unit channel to each control unit.
Note: if there are more than four control units, the control units with the same channel must have their
monitored areas as far from each other as possible.
8.5 Validate the safety functions
8.5.1 Validation
The validation is addressed to the machinery manufacturer and the system installer.
Once the system has been installed and configured, check that the safety functions are activated/deactivated as
expected and that the dangerous area is monitored by the system.
The machinery manufacturer must define all the required tests based on the application conditions and the risk
assessment.
WARNING! The system response time is not guaranteed during the validation procedure.
WARNING! The Inxpect Safety application facilitates the installation and configuration of the
system. Nevertheless, the validation process described below is still required to complete the
installation.
8.5.2 Validation procedure for the access detection function
The access detection safety function must be operative, and the following requirements must be fulfilled:
l
The target (for stationary applications) or the machinery/vehicle on which the sensor is installed (for mobile
applications) must move in compliance with the maximum allowed speed. For details, see "Access
