Filter (ms): This is used to filter the signals coming from the emergency stop. The filter can
be configured to between 3 and 250 ms and eliminates any bouncing on the contacts. The
length of the filter affects the calculation of the unit's total response time.
With Simultaneity (only with Double_NC Input type): If selected this activates the test to
verify concurrent switching of the signals coming from the emergency stop.
Simultaneity (only with Double_NC Input type) (ms): This is only active if the previous
parameter is enabled. It defines the maximum time (in ms) between the switching of two
different signals from the emergency stop.
Enable Error Out: If selected reports a fault detected by the function block.
Item description: This allows a description of the component's function to be entered. The
text is displayed in the top part of the symbol.
E-GATE (safety gate device)
E-GATE function block verifies a mobile guard
or safety gate device input status. If the mobile
guard or safety gate is open, the output is 0
(FALSE). Otherwise the output is 1 (TRUE).
Parameters
Input type:
- Double NC – Allows connection of components
with two NC contacts
- Double NC/NO – Allows connection of
components with one NO contact and one NC.
âž”
With inactive input (block with Output FALSE),
connect:
- Contact NO to terminal corresponding
to IN1.
- Contact NC to terminal corresponding
to IN2.
Enable reset: If selected this enables the request to reset each time the mobile guard/safety
gate is activated. Otherwise, enabling of the output directly follows the input conditions.
There are two types of reset: Manual and Monitored. When Manual is selected the system
only verifies the signal's transition from 0 to 1. If Monitored is selected the double transition
from 0 to 1 and then back to 0 is verified.
