Safety-related requirements regarding the application

It must be ensured that the safety requirements of the respective application correspond to the requirements stated in these instructions.

WARNING
Failure of the safety function
When used outside of the defined environmental conditions, the safety-related function of the sensor cannot be guaranteed.
Use only in accordance with the defined environmental conditions (→ Technical data).
Observe the following requirements:

•  Take appropriate measures for a permanent and safe fixing (→ Installation).
•  In case of lateral damping in the area of the safe switch-off distance of < sao, the target must stay there until the safe state of the complete system is achieved. Note the response time for safety-related faults of the sensor!
•     The safe fixing must be regularly maintained at suitable intervals (cyclical inspection). Document maintenance actions (time, persons etc.).
• Adhere to EN 14,119 for interlocking devices associated with guards. Adhere to the principle of normally closed operation for all external safety circuits connected to the system.
•  In case of faults within the fail-safe sensor which result in the defined safe state: Take measures to maintain the safe state when the complete control system continues to be operated.
•  Replace damaged units

Items supplied

• 1 safety sensor with 2 fixing nuts
• 1 original operating instructions

If one of the above-mentioned components is missing or damaged, please contact one of the ifm branch offices.

Functions and features

The device detects metal without contact .Safety-related function SF: The safe state (output stage switched off; Logic “0”) is achieved in case of damping that is shorter than the safe switch-off distance (→ 9 Technical data).

• Observe the notes on the installation (→ 6 Installation).

The device is a proximity sensor with defined behaviour under fault conditions (PDDB) according to IEC 60947-5-3.
The device conforms to Performance Level d according to EN ISO 13849-1 as well as to the requirements SIL 2 according to IEC 61508 and meets SILcl 2 according to IEC 62061.
The unit corresponds to the classification I1A30SP2 to IEC 60947-5-2 for flush installation (→ 6 Installation).
The device has been certified by TÜVNord.

Function

1. LED yellow
2. Safe switch-off distance sao
3. Inadmissible zone
4. Enable zone
5. Target

Enable zone

The outputs (OSSDs) are only enabled when undamming in the enable zone > 14,5 mm. The change of switching states of the outputs is carried out in the inadmissible zone (3). Below the safe switch-off distance the sensor is damped and the outputs (OSSDs) are switched off.
Take measures to ensure that the target does not remain in the inadmissible zone.
If damped with a reference target of 30 x 30 mm made of FE360 and flush installation to IEC 60947-5-2, the safe switch-off distance is < 8 mm.

WARNING
Failure of the safety function
The safe switch-off distance is different if targets which deviate from the reference target in terms of material, form and size are used.
Check whether the safety-related function of the sensor is guaranteed under the given operating conditions.
Safe switch-off distance for specific materials*:

*  Typical values for damping with a reference target of 30 x 30 mm and flush installation to IEC 60947-5-2 at an ambient temperature of 20 °C.

x axis: ratio actual target / reference target

Switch-on curve Sao

Good repeatability of the switch point means: the closer the target is positioned to the sensing face, the better.

1. Typical switch-on curve (for slow approach)
2. Typical switch-off curve (for slow approach)
3. Poor repeatability
4. Good repeatability

Mounting

The sensor can be mounted flush according to IEC 60947-5-2, type I1A30SP2

•  Ensure that the device and the target cannot come loose.
• Tighten the supplied fastening nuts to a maximum tightening torque of 50 Nm.

WARNING
Failure of the safety function
If the sensor or the target comes loose in its fixture, the sensor can no longer fulfil its safety function.

•  The mounting position of the sensor must not change due to mechanical stress, vibrations or temperature changes.
•  Ensure that the sensor and target are securely fastened.

Observe the following installation conditions (dimensions in mm):

Tighten the socket according to the manufacturer’s indications. Observe the tightening torque for the ifm socket (e.g. EVxxxx: 0.6…1.5 Nm).

Electrical connection

The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician. The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment must be adhered to.  Voltage supply according to EN 50178, SELV, PELV. The sensor can be damaged if energized during connection.

•  Disconnect power. Also, disconnect any independently supplied relay load circuits.
• Supply voltage: connect L+ to pin 1 and L- to pin 3 of the connector.

If used in accordance with EN 61131-2, the supply voltage including residual ripple must be between 19.2 and 30 V DC. Connect the unit as follows:

1. safety-related logic unit

Operation

Switching state of the outputs

The safe state
The safe state is when the output is switched off (zero-current state: Logic “0”) of at least one of the outputs A1 or A2 (OSSDs).
If one of the outputs A1 or A2 is switched off, the subsequent safety-related logic unit must bring the complete system into the state defined as safe.

The switched state
If the target is in the enable zone and if there is no sensor error, both outputs A1 and A2 (OSSDs) are enabled (logic “1”).
Output characteristics
The interface of the devices complies with interface type C class 1 according to the ZVEI position paper CB24I Ed. 2.0.x.

| Interface type| | Suitable interface type
---|---|---|---
Source| C1| Receiver| C1

Identification key
Cross fault / short circuit

• A cross fault between both outputs (A1 and A2) is detected by the fail-safe sensor and results in the outputs (OSSD) being switched off after 4 s at the latest. The outputs A1 and A2 remain switched off until the error has been removed or a voltage reset has been carried out.
• A cross fault (short circuit) between output A2 and the supply voltage results in the other output A1 being switched off after 4 s at the latest.
• The subsequent safety-related logic unit (e.g. safe PLC or safety relay) must be able to detect faults via dual-channel evaluation (e.g. “stuck-at faults”). The monitored hazardous area may only be enabled if both inputs of the safety-related logic unit were previously switched off at the same time (logic “0”).

Response times

Simultaneity of switching on and off of the outputs in case of a safety request| ≤ 1 ms
Test pulse duration ti on A1 and A2| ≤ 1 ms
Test pulse interval T1 on A1| < 4 s
Test pulse interval T2 on A2| < 2 s
