Safety mats may be used as primary protection for machines where the movement of the
functional parts can be interrupted at any moment in a dangerous phase.
•
Safety mats may be used as primary protection for machines on which the control circuit
has been designed in such a manner that a fault in one component does not result in any

Additional Protection

In some applications, it may be necessary to provide additional protection to augment the
protection provided by the safety mat. Hard guards or safety light curtains, combined with
safety mats, may be used to ensure the operator is either forced to move through the sensing
field to enter the danger zone, or forced to stand on the sensing mat inside the danger zone.
Hard guards may be installed permanently with the aid of a tool or welded (if possible). If hard
guards need to be automatically positioned, their positioning must be checked. It must not be
possible for operators to neutralize the detectors associated with these hard guards. Hard
guards shall comply with the following European Standards:
