Function
When used in accordance with requirements, the AS-Interface safety monitor makes it possible to operate sensor-controlled personal protection equipment and other safety components up to and including Category 4 in accordance with EN 954-1. If additional sensors of lower categories are connected, the maximum category that can be achieved for the safety path in question is determined by these sensors. For example, laser scanners can be classified to a maximum of Type 3 in accordance with EN 61496-3. If laser scanners are included in the AS-Interface safety circuit, the maximum safety category that can be achieved for the path in question is Category 3. Any safety light curtain of Type 4 connected to the same safety monitor remains unaffected by this. Category 4 is still possible for the safety light curtain.
The safety monitor is also responsible for the compulsory EMERGENCY OFF function of all non-manually controlled machines (Stop Category 0 or 1), dynamic monitoring of the restart function and the protection control function.
