    At least once a month, check if Motion Lock Switch is working correctly – turn on the QS-210 (when no one is using the rig) and push the red button. If the machine turns off and does not react to any signal (turn on simulation or game to check it) then Motion Lock Switch works properly.

  • Page 39: Advanced Applications

    6.1. ADDING ADDITIONAL DEVICES TO THE MOTION LOCK CIRCUIT If there is necessity to stop other devices, apart from the QS-210, ML (Motion Lock) and additional user devices can be controlled by safety relay outputs. In the example application, the E-STOP button is connected to the external safety relay. When the E- STOP is triggered, the safety relay will activate the Motion Lock function, which will stop motion of the platform and additional devices.

    QS-210 6.2. IMPLEMENTING THE WORKING ZONE PROTECTION For protection against accidental hit from moving parts of the platform, safety gate with opening sensor* can be connected to safety relay input for activating ML function. When the gate is opened, the safety relay output activates the ML (Motion Lock) function and stops the motions of the platform.

    To apply solutions which require to use power line contactors, Motion Lock connection cables in the QS-SB2 power cabinet needs to be replaced with jumpers, which are not provided with the QS-210. To prepare jumper, you need to assemble recommended connector as shown below :...

  • Page 43: Adding Power-Cut Circuit With E-Stop Button

    QS-210 6.3.2 ADDING POWER-CUT CIRCUIT WITH E-STOP BUTTON If specific SIL/PL rated level needs to be achieved, it might be necessary to install a power cut-off device. Two contactors connected in series and controlled by safety relay can be used to provide or cut-off power line to QS-SB2 power cabinets. When safety function on safety relay input is triggered, a safety relay will switch off the contactors, thus cutting-off the power to the platform.
