Banner AG4 Series Safety Laser Scanner
The principle of fault exclusion allows the designer to design out the possibility of various failures and justify it through
the risk assessment process to meet the required level of safety performance, such as the requirements of Category 2,
3 or 4. See ISO 13849-1/-2 for further information.
Notice Regarding MPCEs
Each of the machine primary control elements (MPCE1 and MPCE2) must be capable of immediately stopping the
dangerous machine motion, regardless of the state of the other. The two machine control channels need not be
identical, but the machine's stop time performance (
T
S
, used to calculate separation distance) must be based on the
slower of the two channels.
3.7.4 Alarm (Auxiliary) Output
The Scanner has two alarm (auxiliary) status outputs that provide a PNP current-sourcing output (100 mA max.) that
switches OFF to indicate the following conditions:
Alarm #1 (X1-5):
If the Warning Field has been interrupted (default), if the AG4 has locked out, or both
conditions (configurable via the software).
Alarm #2 (X1-15):
If the AG4 has locked out.
3.8 Preparing for System Operation
After the initial trip test has been accomplished (Section 3.4), and the OSSD safety output connections have been made
to the machine to be controlled, the Scanner is ready for testing in combination with the guarded machine.
The operation of the Scanner with the guarded machine must be verified before the combined Scanner and machine
may be put into service. To do this,
a Qualified Person must perform the Commissioning Checkout Procedure
described in Section 6.2.
WARNING . . . EDM MONITORING
If system is configured for “No Monitoring,” it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that this does not create a hazardous situation.
