Safeguarding of Control Signals (1/3)

Problem and Solution:

 Safe activation of a function in COMPACTplus by safety circuit at L3/L4, that monitors
in parallel to (de-)activating a function the correct timing and short circuit protection
 Changeover is safe if L3 and L4 are controlled by a manual action, but NOT by a
standard PLC +24V
L3
0V
L4

 Example: Activation / Deactivation of

reduced resolution
 2-level change-over switch connected
to L3 and L4, where polarity changes
simultaneous
 One of the signals is used additionally
as control signal for reduced resolution
 OSSD is off
 when the safety circuit is open active protected field
 in case of simultaneousness errors or reduced resolution

 Safeguarding of Control Signals (2/3)

SafetyLab Settings:

 „Basic I/O Configuration“: 2-channel Safety circuit L3 and L4

 Safety circuit is considered as closed in both positions
 L3=0V and L4 = 24V
 L3=24V and L4 = 0V
 OSSD are on in both switch positions, as long as the protective field is free

 Sequential Muting with Detection of
Persons in unallowed Areas (1/5)
Problem:
 On the same body shop line in the car industry short and long car body are produced
(for example VW Golf and Passat)
 The robot cells are protected by light curtains with sequential muting
 Muting sensors must be adjusted at the long body to make the application run
 Persons behind the short body could thus get undetected into the danger zone
 These Persons shall be detected

Area behind the body carrier forbidden for persons

 Sequential Muting with Detection of
Persons in unallowed Areas (2/5)
Solution:
 Positioning of muting sensors, when the carrier (blue) is shorter than the body (gray)
 Detection of the feet of a person using a beam signals over a beam zone at the bottom,
i.e. definition of a Beam Signal just for some beams at the bottom side of the light curtain
 Evaluation of the Beam Signal only with a certain combination of sensor signals, i.e. at a
certain position where the short body has ended and the long body is still in the curtain

 Sequential Muting with Detection of
Persons in unallowed Areas (3/5)
Solution:
 Checking for persons (feet) behind the body when MS1 is free and muting is still active,
i.e. evaluation of the Beam Signal only when MS1=free; MS3 and MS4 = interrupted
 Muting stays active as long as NOT:
(MS1 = inactive) & (MS3 = active) & (MS4 = active)
& (Beam Signal = active = Person detected)

 Sequential Muting with Detection of
Persons in unallowed Areas (4/5)
SafetyLab Settings:
 Select 4-Sensor sequential muting in „Basic I/O Configuration“
 Activate restart Interlock in „Start/restart“
 Set parameters in „Indication signal combination“ for evaluation of sensor signals and
a beam signal with output of the result for example to M4 as muting enable signal:

 Sequential Muting with Detection of
Persons in unallowed Areas (5/5)
SafetyLab Settings:
 Control and indication signals: M4=Output (i.e. read back and linked with OSSD)
Parametering in „Muting“:

 Control of Partial Muting Zones on Run-Time
by 2 Sensors (1/6)
Problem:
 On a conveyor line pallets with different load heights are moving to a wrapper station
 The wrapper is safeguarded by a light curtain with muting
 The pallets can be distinguished in low load and high load types
 On low load pallets persons could sit and drive into the danger zone
 Those persons shall be detected while high load pallets shall pass

low load high load

 Control of Partial Muting Zones on Run-Time
by 2 Sensors (2/6)
Solution:
 In the high side protective field a beam signal prevents muting -> partial muting
 There is one pair of muting sensors at the low side to mute the bottom part
 There is another pair of sensors at the high side to enable high load pallets to pass

 Control of Partial Muting Zones on Run-Time
by 2 Sensors (3/6)
Solution:
 Static partial muting can be implemented by beam signal and muting enable input
 Dynamic partial muting as required is basically not implemented in CPR-m ->
additional means have to be used
 The required sensor logic is:

high-side sensor 1 & A: 1 = big object 1

high-side sensor 2 detected correctly
C: Muting enable

Beam Signal B: 1 = big object or

person detected

 If line A is 1, the state of B doesn’t matter to keep C at 1

 If line A is 0, line B must also be 0 to keep C at 1

 Control of Partial Muting Zones on Run-Time
by 2 Sensors (4/6)
Solution:
 AND logic between the 2 sensor inputs is realized by “Indication signal combination”
using ORed dark switching and ORed light switching outputs of PRK light barriers
 For HRT use inverse logic
 Simultaneousness can not be monitored in this way !!
 Signal A at output M4 is 1 if both sensors have switched correctly the dark switching
output ON (i.e. L3=1) and the light switching output to OFF (i.e. L4=0)
 In case of a sensor output or detection failure, output M4 is 0

 Control of Partial Muting Zones on Run-Time
by 2 Sensors (5/6)
Solution:
 AND logic between the 2 sensor inputs is realized in “Indication signal combination”
using dark switching and light switching outputs of the light barriers
 OR logic is realized by 2 diodes in the end cap
 M2 is used as “Muting enable” input of the “Muting” function
 M3 and M4 are set to “Output”, i.e. state is read back safely and linked with OSSD
Verify how “Output” works with the demo set by setting L2 as “Output”, bringing for example
“Protective field free” at L2-Out, leaving the switch L2 at 1 and interrupting the protective field
