Supervised Emergency stop example
The designer creates the following wiring for an
Emergency stop
digital input:
COM
300 Ω
100 Ω
Emergency
stop
When the
Emergency stop
is closed, the circuit has a resistance of around 75 Ω (the combined resistance of the 100 Ω
and 300 Ω resistors in parallel). When the
Emergency stop
is open, the circuit has a resistance of around 300 Ω.
The
Emergency stop
function requires that the digital input is normally activated. If the
Emergency stop
digital input is not
activated, the controller activates the
Emergency stop
alarm.
The designer therefore configures a customised function curve with an output of
0
up to 200 Ω, and an output of
1
above
200 Ω. The short circuit sensor failure is below 10 Ω. The wire break sensor failure is above 325 Ω.
