Leuze electronic RSL 430 - Stationary point of operation guarding

Applications
Leuze electronic RSL 430 45
Guarding of two danger zones
The safety sensor allows two danger zones to be guarded simultaneously and independently. The danger-
ous machine or system parts (e.g. different movement areas of robots, electrical monorail systems) are ac-
tuated separately. If a protective field violation occurs, only the movement of the affected part of the system
is stopped.
The protective function for each danger zone is defined separately using the configuration and diagnostics
software (see chapter 9.4 "Configuring protective function").

6.2 Stationary point of operation guarding
Hand and arm protection are always required when people must work at the point of operation. The safety
sensor is applied as a stop-activating and presence-detecting protective device. The safety sensor's pro-
tective field is set up vertically in front of the machine or system's point of operation. In accordance with
ENISO13855, resolutions from 14to40mm make sense here. This yields the necessary safety distance
for finger protection, amongothers (see chapter 7.3 "Stationary point of operation guarding").
