Leuze electronic MLC 530 17
4 Functions
An overview of features and functions of the safety sensor can be found in chapter “Device description”
(see chapter 3.1 „Device overview“).
The different functions are grouped into six operating modes (see table 4.1).
Depending on the function required, select the suitable operating mode via corresponding electrical wiring
(see chapter 7 „Electrical connection“).
Table 4.1: Overview of functions and function groups (FG) in the individual operating modes
4.1 Start/restart interlock RES
After accessing the protective field, the start/restart interlock ensures that the safety sensor remains in the
OFF state after the protective field has been cleared. It prevents automatic release of the safety circuits
and automatic start-up of the system, e.g. if the protective field is again clear or if an interruption in the
voltage supply is restored.
In operating modes 1, 2 and 3, which evaluate a contact-based safety circuit or a linkage of electronic
safety-related switching outputs, the internal start/restart interlock is deactivated.
