Hi guys... I'm taking a greater interest in machine safety at the minute... an interest that really should be at the forefront when Novice Programmers Go Bad!
In a recent project I produced the attached schematic. I've never done a course on Safety Contols just picked up on differing machines over time.
KE1 and KE2 are two contactors feeding through the 3 phase 400v supply for the machine motors. Each guardswitch has a n/o contact for indication input to S7-314 plc.
http://www.schmersalusa.com/installation-details-pdfs/SRB301LC.pdf with Schmersal AZ 16-12ZVK guardswitches.
Is the wiring plan truly correct? Safety category 3 or 4?
What "rules of thumb" do you expert programmers use to incorporate the Safety Relay into the plc program?
What determines how many SRs you would use?
Many thanks in advance
