2.4.1.3 Inputs for Operation Mode Switches (OMS)

For this safety function, only inputs I1 to I6 on the controller unit can be used. Operation mode switches can be used with 3 and 6 switching positions. Activation occurs statically. Only one switching position can be selected. In case of error, for example if more than one input is activated, the operation mode switch turns off all operation mode switch outputs. In such cases, no operation mode is active.

Set up this function in FP-Safe Configurator.

F11 / F21: inching function contact

F12 / F22: permission contact

F13 / F23: safety door contact

MT1 / MT2: muting contact

2.4.1.6 Brake Monitoring with the Motion Monitoring Unit

For brake monitoring, the virtual outputs at MM1 and at MM2 are used. You can use these virtual outputs to activate hardware outputs or virtual inputs.

The speed at both monitoring points is recorded in increments of 100ms over a 500-ms interval. After 500ms, the first value is overwritten.

Virtual outputs BR1 and BR2 have a LOW signal during:

Standstill

Constant speed

Acceleration

The outputs switch to a HIGH signal when the braking action reduces the speed by at least 5% within 500ms. The shortest response time is 100ms.

2.4.1.7 Direction Monitoring with the Motion Monitoring Unit

At MM1 and MM2, virtual output emits a HIGH signal at standstill and with an advancing sine wave, and a LOW signal with an advancing cosine wave. To define the preferred direction, use the hardware inputs and a logic operation in FP-Safe Configurator. The third input, "Mute", can be used to mute the function if necessary.

2.4.1.8 Inputs for Rotation Speed Monitoring

Unit Inputs

Controller unit I1 I2 I3 I4 I5 I6

Motion monitoring unit B11 B12 B13 B14 B21 B22 B23 B24

Rotation speed monitoring can be used for up to 48 different speeds in the automatic mode, with 2 different drives operating at varying speeds. Two frequency tables are available: Rotation Speed Table 1 and Rotation Speed Table 2, each with up to 48 values. The frequency is selected via bit-coded switching of inputs I1 to I6 on the controller unit or B11 to B24 on the motion monitoring unit. Enter the frequencies to be monitored in the table. The following rotation speed monitoring options are available:

Number of speeds monitored

Selection via these inputs on the controller unit

Selection via these inputs on the motion monitoring unit

8 I1 – I3 B11 – B13

16 I1 – I4 B11 – B14

48 I1 – I6 B11 – B22

Use the rotation speed table (see page 75) in FP-Safe Configurator to define these parameters.

2.4.2 Outputs

You can use the outputs for all control functions relevant to safety and otherwise, e.g. for emergency stop, safety door, permission, drive release, network release, unlock safety door, and other safety-related functions. They can also be used to activate valves, chip conveyors, cooling systems, and other non-safety functions.

In terms of output function, FP-Safe features safety outputs, freely configurable outputs, and control outputs. As to output types, both the positive-switching semiconductor and the relay types are available.

4.2 Controller Unit Timer

Timers 1 to 12 are off-delayed; timers 13 to 15 are on-delayed. For every timer, 4 adjustable time settings are available.

Input Function

t/A1 (last output) General on-/off-delay time. If none of the other inputs is set, only the time for t/A1 is valid.

t1 Additional on-/off-delay time for operation mode 1.

t2 Additional on-/off-delay time for operation mode 2.

t3 Additional on-/off-delay time for operation mode 3.

Activation occurs via inputs t/A1, t1, t2, and t3. Using t1 to t3, you can select a different time setting for every operation mode; this time expires after t/A1 has expired. If outputs t1, t2, and t3 remain open, only the time for t/A1 is valid.

With an off-delayed timer the time expires when the t/A1 input changes from HIGH to LOW. At the end of this interval, the output changes from HIGH to LOW.

With an on-delayed timer the time expires when the t/A1 input changes from LOW to HIGH. At the end of this interval, the output changes from LOW to HIGH.

� NOTE

If inputs t1, t2, and t3 are continually connected to the HIGH signal, only the time for input t3 is valid.

The adjustable interval is 0.02s to 300s. This interval is accurate up to ± 10ms.

4.3 Motion Monitoring

The controller unit can monitor standstills and rotation speeds. In addition, a motion monitoring unit is available.

4.3.1 Motion Monitoring with the Controller Unit

The controller unit can monitor standstills and rotation speeds by means of the hardware inputs, which it uses to record motion speeds: Inputs I11 and I12 are used for the first monitoring point (MM1), and inputs I13 and I14 are used for the second (MM2). Motion speeds can be detected by means of proximity switches, for example. The maximum sampling rate is 1200Hz.

� NOTE

In the circuit diagram icon, these frequencies are rounded off slightly.

4.3.1.1 Using Proximity Switches to Record Machine Motion

This function only applies to the controller unit. Use inputs I11 to I14 to record the drive speed. Activation occurs via 24V signals, e.g. from proximity switches.

2 proximity switches and 2 inputs are required per drive.

Two axes can be monitored. I11 and I12 are for axis 1; I13 and I14 are for axis 2.

The maximum input frequency is 1200Hz.

Use virtual input MT1 to select this operation mode. In this case, you do not need to enter a frequency.

Standstill frequency For operation safety reasons, an absolute standstill cannot be monitored;

therefore you must enter a frequency for standstill monitoring. We recommend that you define this frequency at 5-10% of the setup mode speed. Standstill monitoring is active when no operation mode has been selected, i.e., F11, F12, F13, MT1 = LOW.

The system automatically enters this frequency in the field directly above the frequency definition field. Instead of monitoring a frequency, the system can also monitor (see page 59) axis position.

� NOTE

Confirm the desired frequency by choosing [Apply].

The system automatically displays these frequencies, slightly rounded off, in the table above.

When you exit the monitoring screen, the virtual outputs and switch toa LOW signal.

4.4.2 Direction Monitoring

At MM1 and MM2, the virtual output emits a HIGH signal at standstill and with an advancing sine wave, and a LOW signal with an advancing cosine wave. To define your preferred direction, use the hardware inputs and a logic operation. The third input, "Mute," can be used to mute the function if necessary.

Sample application

4.4.3 Brake Monitoring

For brake monitoring, the virtual outputs at MM1 and at MM2 are used. The speed at both monitoring points is recorded in increments of 100ms over a 500-ms interval. After 500ms, the first value is overwritten. At standstill, at constant speeds, and during acceleration, the BR1 and BR2 outputs have a LOW signal. The outputs switch to a HIGH signal when braking action reduces the speed by 5% within the 500-ms interval. The shortest response time is 100ms. You can use these virtual outputs to activate hardware outputs or virtual inputs.

4.5.2.2 Antivalent Control Signals for Safety-Related Functions

If "Antivalent" has been activated, "Activation" must be set to "Static." The input for the LOW signal changes from red to green. This is always the second input in the safety-related function.

For SRF activation, the first input I1 (red) must switch from LOW to HIGH, and the second input I2 (green) must switch from HIGH to LOW. In FP-Safe Configurator, the acknowledgement signal "Ack" at the third input is saved via the predefined delay setting (0s, 1s, 3s, or 5s). It then becomes invalid.

Acknowledgement on the controller unit

Regardless of your "Restart" setting, acknowledgement for SRF1, SRF2, and SRF5 can occur via the acknowledgement input ("Acknowledgement" = "Input Ack") or the restart lockout input. If "Acknowledgement" is set to "Off," the source can also be switched off. The acknowledgement input then becomes available to other functions.

If "Restart" is set to "Manual," the acknowledgement signal must be switched independently of the source.

Page 75: PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER FP-Safe

Configuring Parameters FP-Safe User's Manual

If "Restart" is set to "Automatic," the acknowledgement can be kept ON independently of the source.

The acknowledgement retention time can be 0s, 1s, 3s, or 5s.

To configure SRFs 3 and 4 on the controller unit, you must use identical parameter settings. Wherever the settings differ, FP-Safe Configurator applies the settings of the SRF that was last changed.

Acknowledgement on the function units

Acknowledgement occurs only via the acknowledgement input.

If "Restart" is set to "Manual," the acknowledgement signal must be switched independently of the source. The acknowledgement retention time is defined at 1s.

4.7 Sample Application

The "Emergency stop" signal merges the signals emitted by the motion monitoring points "Shaft1" and "XAxis." These two signals are joined by the "ES Out" AND gate, which in turn activates the "EmStop" emergency stop output.

Automatic mode

To select the "automatic" mode, activate the "ModSel" operation mode switch at Position OM1, and then the protection cover.

Signal transmission: External device monitoring to motion monitoring inputs

Both signals are transmitted to motion monitoring inputs F13 and F23 via the the "Mode1" AND gate. To select the "setup" mode, activate the operation mode switch at Position OM2, and then the permission switch.

Both signals are transmitted to motion monitoring inputs F11 and F21 via the "Mode2" AND gate. To select the "semi-automatic" mode, activate the operation mode switch at Position OM3, and then the permission switch.

Both signals are transmitted to motion monitoring inputs F12 and F22 via the "Mode3" AND gate.

Signal transmission: "EmStop" output to timers and release outputs

The "EmStop" output signal from the "ES Out" AND gate controls the "Shaft" 5s off-delayed timer. This timer controls the "Shaft" shaft release output. After an emergency stop, or an axis or shaft overspeed, this output remains active for 5s in order to brake the shaft. The shaft is then cut off from the power supply.

The "EmStop" output signal from the "ES Out" AND gate controls the "Axes" 0.5s off-delayed timer. This timer controls the "Rel Ax" axis release output. After an emergency stop, or an axis or shaft overspeed, this output remains active for 0.5s in order to brake the axis. The axis is then cut off from the power supply.

The "EmStop" output signal from the "ES Out" AND gate controls the "Netwrk" 0.5s off-delayed timer. This timer controls the "Netwrk" network release output. After an emergency stop, or an axis or shaft overspeed, this output remains active for 0.5s in order to brake the drives. The network is then disconnected.

Virtual direction monitoring output

If necessary, the virtual output can be used for direction monitoring. This output can be wired within the emergency stop circuit, or it can activate a separate output.

Restart lockout acknowledgement

After a rotation overspeed, the restart lockout acknowledgement input "RSTLAc" must be connected to 24V DC for ca. 0.5s.

Connections via jump label

The following signals are connected via jump labels, to enable use on other pages in the application:

5.1 Introduction

"Rack diagnosis" is a diagnosis program for the units mounted on the rack. The diagnosis program reports system diagnosis and status information.

� NOTE

For the diagnosis, the FP-Safe must be connected directly to the PC via the COM port on the controller unit. When you are defining your program settings, ensure that you have selected the correct COM port for communication.

86

Page 94: PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER FP-Safe

FP-Safe User's Manual 5.2 User Interface

5.2 User Interface

The user interface is divided into 4 areas:

Screen area Description

1 Diagnosis menu for configuring, starting, and ending the diagnosis, as well as for opening various information screens (see page 87).

Several buttons in this area have a dual function. By clicking these buttons, you switch the function, and the display changes accordingly.

3 Enlarged view (see page 89) of selected unit.

4 Status information screen with diagnosis data concerning the selected unit (see page 89).

5.2.1 Diagnosis Menu

In screen area 1, the diagnosis menu features the following buttons:

Button Function Description

Standard diagnosis Use this button to start or interrupt the diagnosis. The standard diagnosis reads all current diagnosis results and status data from FP-Safe.

Trigger event diagnosis

You can program FP-Safe to save all status data generated at the precise moment of a trigger event. Use this button to display the stored status information.

Read rack data To perform a diagnosis on a new rack, or if you have changed any application data saved previously in FP-Safe, use this button to refresh the diagnosis information.

Error diagnosis Use this button to switch to the error diagnosis screen (see page 95). This screen displays errors that have caused a system shutdown.

History For every FP-Safe configuration, FP-Safe saves history checkpoints containing data such as the programming date and time, checksum value, etc.; a maximum of 16 checkpoints is available. Use this button to display the checkpoint data.

87

Page 95: PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER FP-Safe

Rack Diagnosis Program FP-Safe User's Manual

88

Button Function Description

Selecting a unit for diagnosis

All units mounted on the rack are diagnosed consecutively at regular intervals. The user is thus continually provided with a complete overview of diagnosis data for the entire rack. Depending on the number of units mounted on the rack, each unit update will take some time, because the units are diagnosed one at a time.

You use this button to select the units for your diagnosis runs. You can also select a single unit from the rack, in which case diagnosis will be faster. For the units not selected, no diagnosis will be performed.

Slot number field Normally, all units on the rack are diagnosed consecutively at regular

intervals. The slot for the unit currently undergoing diagnosis appears in this field. If a diagnosis has been interrupted, or if no unit has been selected for diagnosis, an "XX" appears instead of a slot number.

5.2.2 Rack Illustration

Screen area 2 shows the rack to be diagnosed according to data read from FP-Safe. A total of 15 units can be displayed. If the controller unit is running properly, it appears in slots 0-1. Because of its size, the controller unit requires 2 slots. If a defective unit has been mounted, it is highlighted with a light red background color. The slot number beneath that unit is highlighted in bright red.

Rack illustration with 2 defective units

To display the error data, click the slot numbers that have been highlighted. Any errors that have occurred are then displayed with an error number and a brief description.

Slot numbers outlined in blue signify the units you have selected with the button. If the unit selection option has been activated, you can select or deselect additional units for diagnosis.

Page 96: PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER FP-Safe

FP-Safe User's Manual 5.2 User Interface

5.2.3 Enlarged View of the Selected Unit

When you select a unit from the rack, an enlarged view of the selected unit appears in screen area 3. In addition, several diagnosis items concerning the selected unit appear in screen area 4. To ensure that signal colors can be recognized in the enlarged view, the defective units that were originally highlighted in red (in screen area 2) are not highlighted.

Both the rack illustration and the enlarged view show status and diagnosis data concerning the units.

The rectangular LEDs at the left of the units change from gray to green if their SRFs have been activated. The round LEDs at the right show the signal status on the units' inputs and outputs: green LEDs for signal level HIGH or gray LEDs for signal level LOW.

� NOTE

Because of the high speed of data download via the COM port, signals that are rapidly changing cannot be displayed accurately.

5.2.4 Status Information Screen

The status information screen displays diagnosis data concerning the selected unit, and is thus unit-dependent (see page 93).

5.3 Starting a Diagnosis

You can use the diagnosis function to detect errors quickly and to evaluate your system status; it also enables you to take the required steps to eliminate such errors.

To start a diagnosis, proceed as follows:

1.2.3.

Procedure

1. Select the "Rack diagnosis" tab

The rack illustration (see page 88) appears. When the rack illustration download is complete, the diagnosis program automatically attempts to establish a connection with FP-Safe.

2. Wait for notification

If a connection has been established, "Please wait" appears; this message disappears after all data required for the rack illustration has been downloaded from FP-Safe. If the connection with FP-Safe has failed, an error message appears. In this case, you must ensure that the appropriate COM port (see page 86) has been selected, and that the devices have been properly wired.

After a connection has been established, the program automatically selects all units on the rack, and diagnoses them in consecutive order. First, a continual status evaluation is run on all input and output terminals in consecutive order. Errors, if any, are immediately recognized and displayed. The diagnosis keeps running until you have selected another option in the main menu. You can start a new diagnosis

at any time by pressing the button.

� NOTE

If you have made any changes to the FP-Safe application that is scheduled for diagnosis, you must update the basic diagnosis information by pressing the

button.

There are two kinds of errors:

System-OFF errors, which can cause a system shutdown (error codes 01 – 18 and 24 – 64)

Status-related errors indicating that FP-Safe's system status is abnormal but noncritical (i.e., will not cause a shutdown; in this case, the error code numbers are 65 and higher)

94

Page 102: PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER FP-Safe

If an error has occurred, the error button is highlighted in red. To obtain additional information on an error, press the highlighted button. With the exception of errors 19 – 24 (dynamic trigger SRF1 – dynamic trigger SRF5), all other errors on this screen represent status errors that can cause a system shutdown.

If an error has occurred, certain buttons now display a number (in this illustration: 4). This number is the slot number of the unit that has triggered the error.

6 Diagnosis progression icon

During an ongoing system-OFF error diagnosis, this circle continually changes color. This enables you to determine whether the diagnosis is working properly.

7 Identification properties When creating an application with FP-Safe Configurator, a programmer can add (see page 42) properties for identification of the machine, the programmer's name, checksums, and the library versions of the firmware used. These

identification properties are read from FP-Safe every time you choose .

5.3.2 History

For every FP-Safe configuration, FP-Safe saves history checkpoints containing data such as the programming date and time, checksum value, etc.; a maximum of 16 checkpoints is

available. You can use the button to read and display this information.

To delete the history, use the button.
