Examples of range of use
The following overview lists examples of several possible uses of the safe bus node UE4215 in connection with various safety components:
- Hazardous point protection (e.g. with SICK C4000)
- Access protection with and without muting (e.g. with SICK MSL, if the restart interlock on the protective device is used)
- Hazardous point protection and access protection (e.g. with SICK C2000/M2000)
- Area protection (e.g. with SICK PLS, S3000)
- Connection of interface components with the SICK UE100 Series
UE3212 for connection of sensors fitted with contacts
The UE3212 safe bus connection is a decentralized input slave for integrating safety components in the AS-Interface Safety-at-Work safety bus system. Its enclosure rating of IP 65 allows installation without a control cabinet and the use of simple wiring technology.
SICK AS-interface Safety-at-Work components are compatible with the installation of AS-interface standard devices such as SICK Classic Line AS-interface modules.
The UE3212 safety slave bus node satisfies the requirements associated with Category 3 applications, in accordance with EN954-1.
Special features
Connection of one or two positively driven safety contacts; the switching contacts must be designed as normally closed contacts
For field use IP 65
AS-interface version 2.1
Examples of range of use
The following overview lists examples of several possible uses of the safe bus node UE3212 in connection with various safety components.
- Connection of position switches (e.g. SICK i10 P, i10R, i100P, i100R)
- Connection of switches with separate actuator (e.g. SICK i12, i16, i17, i110S)
- Connection of emergency stop buttons and rope switches (e.g. SICK i110RP)
The UE4231/ UE4232 Safety Monitor for safety-oriented evaluation of sensor signals in AS-interface networks.
The AS-interface Safety-at-Work Safety Monitor UE4231/4232 is used in connection with other AS-interface Safety-at-Work components for hazardous area protection and access protection against the dangerous motion of a machine or equipment. The Safety Monitor may only be used in conjunction with an AS-interface Safety-at-Work network and is used to monitor its assigned safety slave bus nodes.
- The UE4231 Safety Monitor provides one dual-channel safe switching output.
- The UE4232 Safety Monitor provides two dual-channel safe switching outputs.
- The AS-interface Safety-at-Work Safety Monitor UE4231/4232 can monitor up to 31 safety AS-interface Safety-at-Work slaves.
A variety of applications can be successfully implemented using SICK AS-interface Safety-at-Work components and ASiMON software for configuration of the AS-interface Safety-at-Work components.
