I/O configuration
Supply voltage
Before any installation of the IQAN system can take place, make sure the ignition lock
is turned off and the battery is disconnected.
Emergency stop
The machine must always be equipped with an Emergency stop that stops all
potentially hazardous movements by cutting the power supply to the actuators.
The recommended way of implementing this is by cutting the power to all IQAN
modules, and also to the actuators directly, e.g. via a dump valve. See below:
Emergency stop.
Since the IQAN-MC3 is capable of implementing safety functions, it may in some
applications be tempting for the designer to implement the emergency stop as a
function in the IQAN-MC3. The IQAN-MC3 does not have any built in emergency
stop function, but if it is implemented anyway, it must be done with extreme caution.
Especially when application updates are performed, e.g. during service or
commissioning.
