SF_GuardLockingSerial block

Function block

This function controls access to a danger zone via an interlocking guard with guard locking device ("four-state interlocking device"). The switch used does not distinguish whether the safety gate is unlocked but not opened, or unlocked and opened. Therefore, it only contains input S_Guard as compared to SF_GuardLocking_2 .

Function description

This function controls guard locking and monitors the position combination of protection and guard locking. This function block can be used with a mechanically interlocked switch.

The operator requests access to the danger zone. The protective equipment can only be unlocked if the danger zone is in a safe state. The protective equipment can be locked when it is closed. The machine can be started when the protective equipment is closed and locked. Unlocked protective equipment is detected to initiate a safety reaction. Inputs S_StartReset and S_AutoReset are only permitted to be enabled if it has been ensured that no hazardous situation can occur when the PES is started.

Operating process

  1. External: Request to bring the danger zone into a safe state - Not part of this function block

  2. Input: Feedback from the applicable danger zone ensuring a safe state (via S_SafetyActive)

  3. Input: Operator request to unlock the protective equipment (via UnlockRequest)

  4. Output: Opening of the protective equipment possible (via S_UnlockGuard)

  5. Input: Protective equipment unlocked (via S_Monitoring). The protective equipment can now be opened. (S_GuardLocked = FALSE)

  6. The operator opens the protective equipment

  7. Input: Feedback from the operator to restart the danger zone (reset)

  8. Output: Lock guard (S_UnlockGuard)

  9. Input: Check whether protective equipment is locked (S_Monitoring)

  10. Output: Danger zone can be operated again (S_GuardLocked = TRUE)

  11. External: Restart operation in potentially explosive atmosphere.

4) Error

Error detection

Static signals are detected during reset. Errors are detected at the guard switches.

Error behavior

In case of an error, outputs S_GuardLocked and S_UnlockGuard are set to FALSE, output DiagCode shows the corresponding error code and output Error is set to TRUE.

An error must be acknowledged by a rising trigger at the input Reset.
