Introduction ROSS CONTROLS offers a variety of safety valves for use in various safety functions such as safe exhaust, safe return, and safe load holding/stop. This document focuses specifically on ROSS CONTROLS’ 5/2 RSe Series valves that are used for dual pressure safe cylinder return functions and utilize magnetic proximity sensors (PNP) to provide feedback to a safety control system for external monitoring.

Pilot Supply Conversion The RSe Series valve comes from the factory configured for internal pilot supply which sources pilot supply air pressure internally from port 1 in the valve sub-base. However, when used for dual pressure applications the valve MUST be converted in the field to operate with external pilot supply through the EPS port in the valve sub-base.

5/2 RSe Series Double Valves for Safe Return Dual Pressure Integration Guide The fault should be latched in by the safety monitoring system until a reset is performed. Failure of the valve to shift normally leads to a fault in the 5/2 RSe dual pressure safe cylinder return valve. This could happen for a variety of reasons, such as: •...

5/2 RSe Series Double Valves for Safe Return Dual Pressure Integration Guide Actuation Fault Monitoring Actuation fault monitoring should check for actuation of both valves within 250 msec of the actuation signal. After the safety control system outputs provide simultaneous actuation signals to both solenoids, both sensor outputs should switch off within 250 msec.
