Q: Can you use an XU by itself? A: Every system must start with an UE410-MU.
Q: What is the safety category of a single output, for example, when wiring it to an EN input? A: Category 3
Q: How do I teach the Flexi a new program? A: Power off. Push the enter button and hold. Power on. Wait until the Red LED on the UE410-MU blinks and then let go of the enter button.
Q: The red LED is blinking on my UE410, what do I do? A: It's blinking between 1 and 6 times in a row! Check the blink code description in the users manual or quick start guide.
Q: Everything is green but I can't get the UE410 to reset, what do I do? A:
1) Check to see if EN and S3 are lit. If they aren't, something was forgotten when setting the device. Check chapter 3.5 in the Users Manual.
2) If inputs aren't being used, they may have to be jumpered, depending on the setting. If one-half of an UE410-8DI isn't being used, that half MUST be set to 0.
3) When you push the reset button, the S1 or S2 input must light.
4) Test all your inputs. Do the input LEDs cycle when you active the attached safety devices? If not, they aren't wired correctly.
5) If the input LEDs are blinking, there is either a wiring mistake in the input circuit or in the case of Two Hand Controls and RE300, one input is switching on long after the other.
Q: What is the difference between the OR and Bypass logic blocks? A: The OR is the same as the Boolean OR. With a Bypass, the bypassing sensor on the UE410-8DI can only force the effected output high for 60 seconds. After this time has elapsed, the bypass switch must be reactivated. This is an anti tie down function.
Q: What are the outputs on the gateway for? A: These outputs can be switched on using fieldbus master. One option is to assign buttons on the Touchpanel to these outputs and use them to reset the UE410 Flexi. Q: Would an Allen Bradley Ferrogard GD2 be compatible to connect to your system as a safety input?
A: It appears that this device is an electromechanical contact device. Based on this, it would be treated very similarly to an E-Stop or Safety Interlock Switch type input. Namely, utilize test pulse outputs (e.g. X1, X2) to feed safety inputs (e.g. I1, I2 respectively). This would allow you to achieve up to a Category 4 rating at the input.
Q: What about multiple Ferrogard GD2 switches connected in series?
A: This should also be possible. The highest achievable category would be Category 3 in this case.
Q: How can I get CAD drawings of the components in the UE410 line?
A:The CAD drawing information is available via the product finder. As an example, here is how you could find the UE410-MU3T5 CAD drawing. Start by going to www.sickusa.com and then click on the product finder hotlink under quick links in the left menu bar. If you then click on industrial safety systems, then safety controllers, then select UE410 Flexi under product family, you will get a list of UE410 Flexi components when you click on the List hotlink under the selection dialog.Select the component you wish to have additional information (e.g. UE410-MU3T5) by clicking on the model number. This will bring up the product data sheet. The CAD drawing information is available under the Info service menu on the right side of the screen.
