This section describes the EUROMAP use of a Mold Area Free (MAF) light curtain.
WARNING
The IMMIMold Area Free (MAF) signals are not intended for safeguarding of
personnel.
•
Apply safeguarding if there is a risk of operators reaching into the mold.
•
Integrate safeguarding in accordance with applicable standards, for example:
IEC 62046, ISO 13855.
NOTICE
Failure to use a Mold Area Free (MAF) light curtain can result in unplanned mold
closure which can cause equipment damage.
•
Use the IMMI to signal the state of the MAF light curtain, if used.
NOTICE
The 24 V supply available from the MAF connector on the IMMI module is current
limited. Exceeding the specified output current can result in a stop.
The MAF light curtain signal is not for safety purposes; it simply provides a status signal to the IMM.
Connect the MAF using the dedicated digital MAF input connector on the IMMI module. The MAF
input is a pnp-type. When connected, the MAF input is high when the light curtain is not obstructed.
