Configurable muting functions
The muting hold time configured starts as soon as the muting condition is no longer
met.
Muting ends as soon as the muting hold time configured has elapsed or – if End of
muting by ESPE is configured – if the ESPE becomes clear.
You must place the muting sensors such that the entire length of both the material and
the means of transport is detected by sensors or the ESPE. There must not be any
detectable gaps as otherwise muting will be brought to an end prematurely (reduced
system availability).
The End of muting by ESPE function shortens the duration of muting to the time at
which the ESPE light path becomes clear again. In this way you will achieve a shorter
muting time and at the same time, a higher level of safety.
If the ESPE does not always accurately detect the end of muting due to irregularities of
the material or means of transport, plant availability can be increased by configuring a
muting end delay of up to 1000 ms in the EDS.
If you activate the Exit monitoring function, you must either activate the End of muting
by ESPE function or configure the Total muting time.
