Fig. 3.1-1: Architecture of the TMC safety system After switching on of the TMC 66 via the start input, the function of the connected single beam safety light barriers or the integrated muting controller is cyclically monitored every 2 sec.
Function and Commissioning Display and Operating Instruments Inside the test monitoring unit TMC 66, LEDs and a 7-segment display for the system state are integrated. The selection switch of the start- and restart interlock as well as the contactor monitoring are also located on the front panel under the transparent front screen.

The reset button can be activated through the hole in the transparent front screen. In case of a failure, the device can be reset, the self-containing mode activated, and the switch positions can be programmed by using the reset-button. TMC 66 Leuze electronic...
Mounting of the Safety System Mounting of the Safety System Mounting of the Test Monitoring Unit TMC 66 The TMC 66 has been designed for mounting on a standard rail (snap-on) in a suitable switching cabinet. Note! The mounting instructions in this chapter have to be heeded for fault-free functioning of the whole safety system.

• Environmental conditions such as steams and dust-containing air heavily limit the operating range. • When installing deflection mirrors it has to be observed that the optical axis of the photo electric sensor runs centered to the mirror. Leuze electronic TMC 66...

The photo electric sensor has to be mounted with a minimum lateral distance to the reflecting surface. This distance results from the opening angle (±4°) and the distance between transmitter and receiver. reflecting surface Correct Wrong Fig. 4.2-4: Reflection bypass TMC 66 Leuze electronic...
Fig. 4.2-5: Muting Basics The TMC 66 has two muting preparation signals Control 1 and Control 2, as well as two muting signals Start 1 and Start 2 for the muting function. Note! The TMC 66 is equipped with a direction detection to avoid manipulation. The inputs Start 1 and Start 2 have to be activated in the correct order.

* maximum response time 240 ms Fig. 4.2-6: Signal flows during muting First, the two control signals on the TMC 66 are activated by the control unit. Note that the control signals must originate from different signal sources. In the example above, the Control 1 signal comes from the PLC, the Control 2 signal has to be deduced from the pallet transport (contactor or NC drive).

Within the operating modes with/without start- and restart interlock, the start input works in two possible ways: • In the operating mode with start- and restart interlock, the TMC 66 expects two signal changes (push-button function) as switch-on signal. A failure in the start button, e.g. due to contact malfunction is safely detected by the TMC 66.

As soon as a HIGH active signal is present at the start input and the protective field is free, the safety outputs are closed. Fig. 5.2-2: Wiring of the start input without start- and restart interlock TMC 66 Leuze electronic...
The activation input of the single beam safety light barrier can be directly connected to terminal 1 on the TMC 66. The switching output of the receiver can be directly connected to terminal 2. The GND potential present on terminal 12 serves as reference potential for both signals.
The feed-back to the TMC 66 (terminal 2) is done by the last photo electric sensor receiver within the series connection. Any time the light axis is interrupted, a message is issued to the TMC 66 through the series connection.
Control 1 (terminal 13) and Control 2 (terminal 14). Control 1 and Control 2 are HIGH active. The control signals can be connected to the TMC 66 in any order. The test of the muting sensors is performed as soon as both signals are connected. The control signals have to be generated by two different signal sources.
• One light signal: Terminals 15 and 16 of the TMC 66 can also be connected in a parallel way. An error message is generated if the lamp is defect. No muting state can be obtained until the lamp is replaced.

PLC. The PLC is programmed to react on the test request of the TMC 66. The test of the PLC inputs and outputs is induced before every muting procedure while connecting the control signals.
For this purpose, forced contactors have to be used. In the connection diagram, no fuses are included. However, for correct function those are absolutely required. The maximum contact load of the safety relay outputs is 4 A with 24V DC. TMC 66 Leuze electronic...
Control of the motor contactors happens via K1 and K2. If a contact of K1 or K2 should weld, a message is issued to the TMC 66 through the feedback circuit. A new start of the unit is possible only after removal of the failure in the output circuit.

Electrical Installation The signal output "Error" is always active if the TMC 66 detects an error. Those errors can be internal or external. A detailed listing of all possible errors can be found in the next chapter. Through linking of the status outputs in the control unit, the following system states can be detected: 1.
Start- and restart interlock active, contactor monitoring inactive Switch 1 Switch 2 Fig. 5.10-2: Adjustment of the operating mode (start- and restart interlock inactive, contactor monitoring inactive) The function of the contactor monitoring can be switched-off on the right switch (switch 2).

Starting the unit when the single beam safety light barrier is interrupted The test monitoring unit TMC 66 can be released also in cases where e.g. after an emergency stop of the unit the single beam safety light barrier stays interrupted by remaining goods on the conveyor belt.
In principle, the test monitoring unit can be used in two operating modes; with and without muting function. TMC 66 without muting function, without start- and restart interlock Waiting mode In the waiting mode the single beam safety light barrier is free (green LED).
Barrier Fig. 5.12-2: Protection mode 5.13 TMC 66 without muting function, with start- and restart interlock Waiting mode In the waiting mode the single beam safety light barrier is free (green LED). Activation is not used. The safety output is open. This state is displayed by the red LED. The yellow LED displays the lock of the start- restart interlock.

To induce the test operation, the start input is activated (green LED). As long as the start button is pressed, the TMC 66 remains in test operation. After release of the start button, the TMC 66 changes from test operation to protection mode.
The restart interlock inside the TMC 66 becomes active and avoids an automatic restart of the machine. The yellow LED displays the function of the restart interlock. The TMC 66 is in waiting state and can be restarted by pressing the start button after the protective field is free.
