  • Page 7: Introduction

    This symbol indicates an important instruction.  MSC achieves the following safety levels: SIL 3, SILCL 3, PL e, cat. 4, type 4 as per the applicable standards. However the final SIL and PL safety categories for the applica- tion are dependent on the number of safety components, their parameters and the connections made, as per the risk analysis.

  • Page 10 The configuration undertaken on the PC is transferred to the MSC-CB via a USB connection. The file is saved in the MSC-CB and can also be saved on the proprie- tary M-A1 memory card (accessory). In this way it is possible to copy the configu- ration to a different MSC-CB module quickly.

    • Multilingual installation instructions • Rear MSCB plug connector.  Notice: The MSCB plug connector supplied and a further MSCB plug connector for the connection to the MSC-CB are required to install an expansion module. This can be ordered separately as an accessory.

  • Page 12: Installation

    INSTALLATION Mechanical mounting Mount the modules of the MSC system on a 35-mm DIN rail as follows: 1. Connect together a number of rear 5-pin MSCB plug connectors to suit the number of modules to be installed. 2. Mount the row of plug connectors assembled in this manner on the DIN rail (first hook on at the top).

    It is to be noted that the total reaction time is dependent on: the reaction time of MSC + the reaction time of ESPE + the reaction time of machine (i.e. the time the machine requires to stop the hazardous movement from when the stop signal is sent).

     If the file on the M-A1 memory card is not identical to the file in the MSC-CB, the con- figuration data in the MSC-CB are overwritten and therefore permanently deleted. WARNING: ALL THE DATA THAT WERE IN THE MSC-CB WILL BE LOST.

    RESTORE function If the module MSC-CB is faulty, it can be replaced with a new module. As the entire config- uration is saved on the M-A1 memory card, it is only necessary to insert this card in the new module and switch on the MSC system, the backed up configuration will then be loaded immediately.

    CHECKING the system  After the project has been validated, uploaded to the module MSC-CB and all safety components have been connected, the system must be checked for correct operation. This check is made by forcing a status change for each safety component connected to MSC to check whether the status of the outputs also actually changes.

    FUNCTION BLOCKS FOR SPEED MONITORING Safety warning!  An external fault or a malfunction on the Encoder/proximity switch or on its connec- tions does not necessarily result in a change in the safety status on the normal out- put on the function block (e.g. "Zero"). Faults or malfunctions on the Encod- er/proximity switch or in the cabling are, however, detected by the module and man- aged and specified via the diagnostics bit (error output (Error)) that can be activated on each function block.

    SPEED CONTROL The speed control function block checks the speed of a de- vice; the OVER output is "0" (FALSE) if the speed measured ex- ceeds a previously defined limit. If the speed is below this pre- defined limit, the OVER output is "1" (TRUE). Parameters Axis type: Defines the type of axis that is monitored by the device.

    The muting function The muting function makes possible a temporary, automatic interruption of a safety de- vice to make possible a normal material flow through a protected opening. In other words, when the system detects the material and differentiates it from a person (in a potentially hazardous situation), it bypasses the safety device temporarily to permit the material to pass through the opening.
