SICK Flexi Soft User Manual

NOTE
F
or more information, please refer to the operating instructions for the testable type 4
safety single-beam sensors.
5.4.3.3 User-defined testable safety single-beam sensors
For information on creating customized elements, please refer to the “Flexi Soft in
t
he Flexi Soft Designer Configuration Software” and “Flexi Soft in the Safety Designer
Configuration Software” operating instructions.
NOTE
•
C
onfigure the user-defined element in the configuration software for the Flexi Soft
system with the minimum value for the desired test pulse width.
•
Regardless of the test pulse width, the overall switch-on delay of the cascade must
be smaller than the maximum switch-on delay of the respective test output (as
shown in the configuration software report) –2ms. Otherwise the test pulse width
will lead to switching off. For FX3-XTIO or FX3-XTDI modules, this value = 12ms -
2ms = 10ms.
WARNING
Im
pairment of fault detection due to cross-circuit
The dangerous state may not be stopped or not be stopped in a timely manner in the
event of non-compliance.
►
Prevent cross-circuits between the connection from the test output of the Flexi
Soft module to the test input of the sender and the connection from the output of
the receiver to the safe input of the Flexi Soft module with protected or separate
cabling.
5.4.3.4 Instructions for mounting the testable safety single-beam sensors
WARNING
Ine
ffectiveness of the protective device due to improper mounting or improper use
The dangerous state may not be stopped or not be stopped in a timely manner in the
event of non-compliance.
The target safety-related level may not be achieved in the event of non-compliance.
►
Use safety single-beam sensors only as access protection as per ENISO13855.
►
Do not use safety single-beam sensors as finger and hand protection.
►
Complying with the minimum distance to reflective surfaces.
►
Comply with the safety distance between the light beam and hazardous point for
access protection.
►
Observe the operating instructions of each sensor.
