Muting
Muting is the automatic temporary bypassing of safety-oriented functions of the
control system or of the safety device. Muting is used when certain objects, such as
pallets with material, may be moved into the hazardous area. During this
transportation through electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE), such as a
safety light curtain, the muting function inhibits monitoring by the ESPE.
Observe the information in the Safety Controller Setting and Monitoring Tool
Operating Manual for the further procedure.
