6 Advanced applications
Info
Examples shown in this section describe optional application of external safety and power cut-off devices. If you wish to expand the functionality of your motion system, read the whole section to have a good understanding of how to apply and what functionality to expect. Apply at your own discretion.
Warning
Motion Lock input is not a SIL/PL (safety integrity level/performance level) rated and DOES NOT guarantee safety. If you wish to achieve specific SIL/PL ranking, consider introducing a power cut-off device that is controlled by an external safety relay and cuts off the power to all QS-SB2. Example application of the power cut-off contactor can be found in section 6.3.2 and 6.3.3.
Info
When applying safety relay to the Motion Lock :
- Use input cables according to your safety relay manual.
- Use output cables according to your safety relay manual and cross section no less than 0,75 mm2
- Implementing an additional safety relay requires deactivating Motion Lock cycle procedure at the power up. In order to do that, go to "Tools and diagnostics" → "Devices" → click "Quick codes" next to a "HVFMC200" item → enter code "7c2f47a2" → click "Execute" → wait for the operation to finish → repeat for every HVFMC200 with an unique Serial Number (every second item).
6.1 Adding additional devices to the motion lock circuit
If there is necessity to stop other devices, apart from the QS-V20 , ML (Motion Lock) and additional user devices can be controlled by safety relay outputs. In the example application, the E-STOP button is connected to the external safety relay. When the E-STOP is triggered, the safety relay will activate the Motion Lock function, which will stop motion of the platform and additional devices.
Example application of single-channel safety relay that controls ML and additional devices:

Example wiring diagram of application of one-channel safety relay with E-STOP button:

6.2 Implementing the working zone protection
To protect bystanders from accidental hit from moving parts of the platform, safety gate with opening sensor* can be connected to safety relay input for activating ML function. When the gate opens, the safety relay output activates the ML (Motion Lock) function and stops the motion of the platform.
Example application of safety gate opening sensor:

6.3 Increasing safety level
Warning
Modifications of the safety system, involving application of the power line contactors, shall be performed only by somebody competent. A competent person is a qualified and knowledgeable person, who because of their training and experience has the knowledge required to apply those changes. It is user responsibility to commission modification of the safety system to a competent person, experienced with industrial wiring practices, which will be required to undertake the installation. Commissioning shall be undertaken by a trained electrical technician experienced in safety installations.
6.3.1 Assembling Motion Lock jumper
To apply solutions which require using power line contactors, Motion Lock connection cables in the QS-SB2 power cabinet needs to be replaced with jumpers. To prepare a jumper, you need to assemble recommended connector as shown below:
6.3.2 Adding power-cut circuit with E-STOP button
If specific SIL/PL rated level needs to be achieved, it might be necessary to install a power cut-off device. Two contactors connected in series and controlled by safety relay can be used to provide or cut-off power line to QS-SB2 power cabinets. When safety function on safety relay input is triggered, a safety relay will switch off the contactors, thus cutting-off the power to the platform. To apply this solution, ML UP connection cables needs to be replaced with prepared jumper as described in section 6.3.1.Info
To achieve required safety performance level it is necessary to perform safety risk assessment at user site.
Example application of power line contactors and E-STOP button:

Info
In order to increase SIL/PL level it's a good practice to apply well-known contactors of two different manufacturers in order to decrease probability of failure resulting from serial production.
Example wiring diagram of application of power line contactors and one-channel safety relay with E-STOP:

Info
PE (protective grounding/earthing) connection is omitted for better transparency
6.3.3 Implementing the working zone protection with power-cut circuit
In example application contactors connected in series provide power line to the QS-SB2 power cabinets. When safety function on safety relay input is triggered, a safety relay will switch off the power contactors, thus cutting-off the power to the platform.
Example application of power line contactors with safety gate opening sensor:

Info
When applying safety relay and contactors to the power line remember to:
- Use control cables according to your safety relay manual
