Schmersal: Electronic Safety Devices

August 24, 2020

Safety sensors and solenoid interlocks

Schmersal electronic safety devices fulfill the highest level of safety of Category 4 / PLe to ISO 13849 and SIL3 to IEC 62061. They feature redundant monitoring microprocessors and dual PNP semiconductor outputs. The different variants of devices can also be wired in series without detriment to the safety level.

Devices include LEDs to display operational status and faults codes for quick diagnostics. Many are available with serial diagnostics (SD) which provides detailed device-specific information which can be passed to a higher level field bus systems. Some available options include ECOLAB approvals and IP69K ratings for high temperature, high pressure wash down applications and dual channel locking for PLe locking to ISO 14119. 

Schmersal electronic safety devices are based on two technologies: RFID and Pulse Echo

RFID Based

Enhanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system operates on a unique frequency, so sensors will disregard RFID signals that are not of the mating target. In addition, the passive RFID tag in the actuator target will not interfere with other RFID systems such as product trackers.

The RFID system allows for individually coded actuators, to fulfill the High level coding requirements of ISO 14119. The basic version of the sensor responds to any RST target actuator; the “I1” version only accepts the coded ID number of the specific target actuator which is taught in during the first start-up; and the “I2” version allows the teach-in process to be repeated, allowing replacement of a lost or damaged actuator. Due to this individual coding option these switches are difficult to bypass.

Pulse Echo Based

Pulse Echo is a Schmersal-patented non-contact microprocessor-based technology. Coded resonant frequencies oscillating from a target which are triggered from the mating sensor are evaluated to determine position of the guard. Only once the guard is closed (and locked for guard locking devices) will the dual safety outputs become enabled.

Gefran Magnetostrictive Linear Position Transducers from AutomationDirect

AutomationDirect has added Gefran WPG and WPP series magnetostrictive linear position transducers. These transducers work like other linear position sensors by translating a linear position to an electrical signal. However, they are contactless, which provides a longer life because there is no mechanical wear; since they use magnetostrictive technology, they are also immune to electromagnetic interferences.

Upcoming Machine Safety Webinar – October 20

Risk assessments are the starting point to any machine safeguarding initiative. Identifying the risks is the first step to abating them. But many individuals rely on their understanding of what equipment requires risk assessment or use a company standard that may not follow current applicable standards. Part of building a Machine Safety Mindset is creating a risk assessment program for all EHS, engineering design, and maintenance staff in your company.
