Applications of the safety switches

The IN3000 Direct series safety switches are inductive
safety proximity switches that are actuated electro-
sensitively by metal. The safe state is the electrically
isolated state.
Using the safety switches in the IN3000 Direct series
and the related machine or system control, the posi-
tions of moving machines or parts of machines can be
protected such that ...
the dangerous state of the machine or system can
then only be switched on if these are in the safe
position.
a stop command is triggered if the safe area or safe
position is left with the machine in operation.
For the control this means that
switch-on commands that result in dangerous
states are then only allowed to become effective if
the moving parts of the machine are in the safe
position,
and
dangerous states must be terminated before the
protective position is left.
Prior to the use of the safety switches, a risk
assessment must be performed on the machine.
Correct use includes observance of the applicable
requirements on installation and operation.
The safety switches must be regularly subjected to a
technical inspection as per section 6.2.
