IEC 62061: 2021 - Safety of machinery - Functional safety of safety-related electrical, electronic, and programmable electronic control systems. • ANSI B11.TR3 - 2000 (2015): Risk Assessment and Risk Reduction-A guide to estimate, evaluate, and reduce risks that are associated with machine tools. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
On some applications, to achieve an acceptable level of risk, it can be necessary to combine multiple types of safeguarding systems. Markings Figure 1 - Mat Manager Markings (440F-C2801xx) Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
Combinations of chemicals can have unpredictable effects. Tests are recommended in such cases. Small pieces of the vinyl material are available if tests are required. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
The start or restart of the machine must only be possible by a separate and deliberate action at the designated machine controls. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...

Connections Uniting Trim Perimeter Trim MatGuard Mat Manager The mat manager provides connections for eight individual safety mats. The mat manager monitors the safety mats and deactivates outputs when a person is detected. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
Your catalog selection defines the exit points on the safety mat wiring. When the safety mat is activated, the non-conductive compressible separators (shown as black) compress into their recess, which allows the two plates to make contact. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
See Table 2 on page 16 for connection types. IMPORTANT Safety mats must match the connection type of the controller unit. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
Figure 6 on page 17 is a typical illustration of the specific wiring required. See Mat Manager Installation and Wiring on page 35 for details on your specific unit. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...

Any single electrical fault in the safety mat, wiring, or mat manager is detected and the mat manager outputs goes to a safe (off) state. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
7). Other uses of the Guardmaster system, for example, solely as a perimeter access guard, or as a machine enabling device, are not recommended. Figure 7 - Layout Examples Hazard Hazard Safety Mats Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...

Guardmaster safety mat detection zone to the nearest part of the hazard. The ISO 13855 formula for floor-mounted safety mats is: S = (1600 x T) + 1200 mm • S is the minimum safety distance in millimeters. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
Requirements do not necessarily apply. In these applications, the Guardmaster system detects the presence of an operator to help prevent the perimeter-guarding system from being reset and the machine from being restarted while the operator is inside the enclosure. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
Guardmaster safety mats must be minimized. This configuration typically requires additional angle plates and careful positioning of cable troughs. Good practice is illustrated in Figure 11 on page Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
The vinyl outer surface of the safety mat is sealed to resist the ingress of liquids and rated to IP67. Safety mats resist bleaches, acids, salt, and most industrial chemicals. See Table 1 on page Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
If access to the mat manager is required for manual reset or routine indicator observation, it must be mounted at an accessible position outside the protection zone that provides a good view of the hazard and protection zone. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
If personnel step on any of the safety mats, the safety outputs open and power to the loads is removed. After stepping off the safety mat, the Reset button must be pressed and released to re-energize the loads. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
Timing diagrams are given in Figure 15 Figure 16 on page 28 for both modes of the Guardmaster system. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...

When used in the auto reset mode, the control system of the machine requires a separate reset function to help prevent machine startup when stepping off the safety mat, or after a temporary power supply failure or dip. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...
Final Details Prepare a work schedule and drawings of the system layout and the electrical circuit. We recommend that you record and retain all measurements and calculations in the technical file for the machine. Rockwell Automation Publication 440F-UM001B-EN-P - January 2024...

We recommend twice yearly inspections or after damage. Test Contact your local Allen-Bradley distributor or Rockwell Automation sales office for information on an authorized testing service. A person who is competent in electrical and mechanical engineering must perform the tests.
User repairs are limited to replacement by new Guardmaster system parts. If problems occur, return the units to your local Allen-Bradley product distributor or Rockwell Automation sales office. Any repairs to the connecting wires must be made using the recommended butt splice connectors.
