Operating instructions

LGT

GB

The device can only fulfil its safety-relevant task if it is

correctly used, that is "safely" - i.e. fail-safe - fitted and

connected.

The LGT testable safety light grid complies with the safety-

specific requirements of

y Safety category type 2 in accordance with pr EN 50 100

2.1 Applications for the device

LGT testable safety light grids are non-contact protection

devices with a resolution of 30 mm. They are used as hand

protection to secure danger zones on machines and plant.

The devices are permanently fitted in the access area and

shut down the hazard producing motion if a minimum of one

light beam is interrupted.

2.2 Improper use of the device

The LGT testable safety light grid is only permitted to be used

in the context of 2.1 Applications for the device. In case of

any other usage, and in case of modifications to the device –

even during fitting and installation – any claims against

SICK AG under the guarantee are rendered void.

3.1 Layout of the system

The LGT safety light grid comprises

y control unit LGTN

y sender LGTS and

y receiver LGTE

as well as the two connection cables to the control unit

(Fig. 1, Appendix).

Two senders and receivers can be connected to one control

unit (Fig. 2, Appendix).

If two sender units and two receiver units are operated in

parallel – this is possible because the devices do not interact

– the height of the protective field can be doubled.

3.2 How the device works

It must be possible to influence operation of the machinery or

system electrically. It must be possible to interrupt operation

of the machinery or system at any time. The LGT must be

configured such that it is impossible to reach over, reach

under, or stand behind the protective field (Fig. 3, Appendix).

The LGT sender unit and receiver unit consist of adjacently

arranged individual elements, this results in the formation of a

light grid with parallel beams.

If only one light beam is interrupted, a switching command is

triggered to stop the machine.

3.3 Indicators and Controls

Sender units and receiver units are equipped with LEDs. The

control unit has LEDs and two seven segment modules as

indicators.

DIL switches facilitate the configuration of the light grid.

The sender and receiver strips are mounted using their

threaded mounting bolts (M5). Either an M4 screw can be

inserted through the bolt, or the M5 thread in the threaded

mounting bolt is used directly (Fig.). The position of the

individual components is shown in 10 Dimensional drawings.

The sender and receiver strips must be mounted such that

the connection plug is pointing in the right direction, e.g. both

pointing upwards. Mounting with the plug pointing in

completely the opposite direction (180° rotation) is not

permitted.

Snap-on clips have been developed in order to ensure a high

degree of flexibility at the mounting site and to allow light

grids to be changed quickly (should this be necessary). These

clips can be screwed directly onto the mounting surface. The

light grids are then simply clipped into place.

Securing against sliding

To prevent the light grid from slipping downwards as a result

of vibration, a screw may also be used to secure the light grid

to the snap-on clip.

The control unit is bolted in place using the fixing holes

provided in the housing.

If the control unit is used without housing (for mounting in a

control panel), the control unit frame is clipped directly onto

the mounting rail.

To improve the EMC conditions, it is recommended to install

the light grid on the machine such that it is electrically

isolated. This can be achieved with the aid of insulating

collared washers.

5.2 Switching outputs

The primary relay A with its positively driven contacts is the

"safety" switching output of the LGT (Fig. 5, Appendix). The

control unit checks these contacts to ensure that they are

functioning correctly.

The auxiliary relay B with its switching output operates as a

second independent switch-off path if the primary relay fails.

According to pr EN 50 100, the output current circuits must

be appropriately protected, e.g. by means of fuses. Arc

suppressors must be provided to protect the relay contacts

(Fig. 6, Appendix).

The protective field status output gives the actual condition

of the protective field (Fig. 7, Appendix). This output is not

relevant to safety.

Protective field free Power applied to output

Protective field broken Power not applied to output

The contamination output signals possible contamination of

the light grid (Fig. 8, Appendix).

Light grid not contaminated Power not applied to output

Light grid contaminated Power applied to output

The external contact monitoring monitors the contacts of

connected contactors to ensure that they are functioning

correctly (e.g. frozen). For this purpose, these must be

followed back to the LGT and must be connected according to

the connection diagram (Fig. 9, Appendix).

The contactor monitor monitors the static rest position of the

external contactors. If a dynamic contactor monitor is

specified, the monitor must be integrated into the higher-

order controller.

If the protective field is broken very briefly, a lockout together

with the error message 14 may occur in the case of heavily

rebounding contacts (Table, below).

The "Action" column gives the required measures.

If the contact monitoring is provided by externally connected

devices, terminals 5 and 6 must be bridged.

Note

5.3 Test input

The test input is used to initiate a test cycle (Fig. 10, Appen-

dix). The LGT including the primary relay and response time

are monitored to ensure that they are functioning correctly. If

a safety-relevant error is detected during the test, the

switching elements remain open. The machinery can thus no

longer resume its work. An N/C contact must be connected to

the test input.

Safety can only be guaranteed if the test input is used

(installed in the machine controller).

5.4 Control switch

The control switch is used in the operating mode "with restart

inhibit" to close the primary and auxiliary relay contact again

when the protective field has been broken or when a test

cycle has been performed with an unbroken protective field

(Fig. 11, Appendix). The machinery can thus resume

operation.

If the test signal is shorter than 100 ms, the control switch

must not be actuated.

An N/O contact must be connected to the input terminal

contacts.

Installation location of the RESET button

Choose the location for installing the RESET button correctly:

The RESET button is to be installed such that it cannot be

operated from within the danger zone, and such that the

danger zone can be seen when operating the button.
