System Operation and Functions
End conditions
If any of the following condition is satisfied, the muting state is released.
• When a workpiece passes a muting sensor A or B and the exit-only muting delay time (4 s) passes.
• When a workpiece passes F3SG-R's detection zone and the muting end wait time (1 s:
configurable) passes.
• The duration of the muting state exceeds the muting time limit (60 s: configurable).
Timing chart
* This timing chart shows the case in which the muting state was released under the condition of T4 (1 s).
Factory default setting
Variable Variable name Value Description
T1min Muting input time limit value
(minimum)
0.1 s Minimum time difference between muting inputs A and B.
If the time difference between muting inputs A and B is smaller
than this value, a muting sequence error occurs.
T1max Muting input time limit value
(maximum)
4 s Maximum time difference between muting inputs A and B.
If the time difference between muting inputs A and B is larger
than this value, a muting sequence error occurs.
T2 Muting time limit 60 s The duration time of the Muting function. The Muting state is
cancelled if it continues for longer than this time limit.
T3 Maximum allowable muting
signal interruption
0.1 s Maximum duration of a signal interruption allowed in muting
inputs A and B.
T4 Muting end wait time 1 s Time difference from when the F3SG-RA is unblocked until the
Muting state is cancelled.
T5 Exit-only muting delay time 4 s Time difference from when the signal of Muting input A or B is
turned OFF until the Muting state is cancelled.
