Vorteilhaft ist es jedoch, aus einer möglichst kurzen Folge von Abtastwerten das jeweilige Startsignal zu erfassen, um einen schnellen Neustart zu ermöglichen. Die Abtastung kann mit beliebigen Parametern erfolgen, um sowohl einfache Signale wie auch komplexe Signale, beispielsweise wohl definiert Pegelverläufe, als Startsignal verwenden zu können. Die Anzahl der unterschiedlichen Startmodi kann durch die Auswahl der Parameter für die Abtastung des an dem Reset-Eingang anliegenden Signals praktisch beliebig hoch gesetzt werden. Mit einer Verlängerung der Zeitdauer der Abtastung und einer damit einhergehenden erhöhten Anzahl von Abtastwerten kann das Startsignal mit einer hohen Zuverlässigkeit erfasst werden, da kurzzeitige temporäre Abweichungen von dem Startsignal unberücksichtigt bleiben.The basic idea of the invention is thus to carry out the detection of the analog start signal by means of a digital scan, in which case the respective start signal is detected from a sequence of sampled values. The length of the sequence can be selected depending on the types of defined start signals and in principle be arbitrary. However, it is advantageous to record the respective start signal from as short a sequence of sample values as possible in order to enable a quick restart. The sampling can be done with arbitrary parameters in order to use both simple signals as well as complex signals, for example well-defined level curves, as a start signal can. The number of different start modes can be set practically arbitrarily high by selecting the parameters for sampling the signal applied to the reset input.

Die Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung kann eine Betätigungseinrichtung, beispielsweise in der Form eines Schalters oder Tasters umfassen, um eine Überprüfung der Auswerteschaltung durchzuführen, oder die Überprüfung wird über einen Signaleingang der Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung signalisiert und gestartet. Entsprechend kann auch eine Ausgabe des Überprüfungsergebnisses über den Signaleingang oder andere geeignete Ausgabemittel, beispielsweise eine optische Anzeige, erfolgen.In a further embodiment of the invention, the safety switching device may comprise a checking device, which is arranged and designed to provide different starting signals to the scanning device. The checking device can read the start signals directly at the scanning device or anywhere between the reset input and the scanner. In principle, it is also possible for the checking device to provide the various start signals at an output contact of the safety switching device, and these are supplied to the reset input via external cabling.

Die Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung 1 umfasst eine Auswerteschaltung 2, die mit einem analogen Reset-Eingang IN der Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung 1 verbunden ist. Die Auswerteschaltung 2 umfasst eine Eingangsschaltung 3 und eine Abtasteinrichtung 4, die in
Weiterhin umfasst die Eingangsschaltung 3 einen Spannungsteiler 5 mit zwei Widerständen R2, R3, zwischen denen ein Potential V2 abgegriffen wird. Das Potential V2 entspricht somit dem jeweils an dem Reset-Eingang IN anliegenden Potential, ist jedoch für einen Abtasteingang AI der Abtasteinrichtung 4 als Eingangspegel geeignet.Furthermore, the
Zusätzlich weist die Eingangsschaltung 3 als Schutz für die Abtasteinrichtung 4 einen Widerstand R4 und eine Diode D2 auf, über welche das Potential V2 des Spannungsteilers 5 mit dem Abtasteingang AI der Abtasteinrichtung 4 verbunden ist. Der Widerstand R4 ist als Entkoppelwiderstand in der Verbindung des Potentials V2 mit dem Abtasteingang AI ausgeführt, während die Diode D2 über Masse mit dieser Verbindung gekoppelt ist, um einen Pegel an dem Abtasteingang AI der Abtasteinrichtung 4 zu begrenzen. Der Widerstand R4 fängt somit den Fehlerfall eines Kurzschlusses des Widerstands R2 des Spannungsteilers 5 auf, während die Diode D2 bei einem Fehler des Widerstands R1 eine Begrenzung der Eingangsspannung an dem Abtasteingang AI der Abtasteinrichtung 4 bewirkt.In addition, the
Die Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung 1 umfasst weiterhin eine Überprüfungseinrichtung 6, in
Die Abtasteinrichtung 4 ist ausgeführt, um über die Eingangsschaltung 3 ein an dem Reset-Eingang IN anliegendes analoges Signal abzutasten und daraus ein Startsignal zu erfassen. Dazu wird eine Folge von Abtastwerten ausgewertet, und im Fall der Erfassung eines Startsignals eine Mitteilung an eine hier nicht gezeigte Steuereinrichtung der Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung 1 gesendet. Die Auswerteschaltung 2 ist dabei ausgeführt, sowohl Spannungspegel, Spannungsflanken als auch getaktete Signale als Startsignale zu erfassen. Durch die Vorspannung des Reset-Eingangs IN kann sowohl das Anlegen von Masse wie auch eines von der Vorspannung V1 unterschiedlichen Spannungspegels durch die Abtasteinrichtung 4 erfasst werden. Die Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung 1 wählt einen Startmodus in Übereinstimmung mit dem erfassten Startsignal aus, um nach dem Auslösen ihrer Sicherheitsfunktion einen Neustart durchzuführen.The
Die Überprüfungseinrichtung 6 ist ausgeführt, über den Widerstand R5 an dem Abtasteingang AI der Abtasteinrichtung 4 verschiedene Startsignale als modulierte Signale anzulegen. Dazu wird ein an dem Abtasteingang AI anliegender Spannungspegel V3 über den Widerstand R5 durch Anlegen der Betriebsspannung Vcc bzw. Masse angehoben oder gesenkt, um so verschiedene Startsignale zu erzeugen. Die Abtasteinrichtung 4 ist mit der Überprüfungseinrichtung 6 verbunden, um das erfasste Startsignal zu dieser übertragen zu können, so dass Überprüfungseinrichtung 6 das erzeugte Startsignal mit dem von der Abtasteinrichtung 4 erfassten Startsignal vergleichen kann, um die Funktion der Abtasteinrichtung 4 zu überprüfen.The
Die Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung 1 umfasst weiterhin eine Energieversorgungseinheit 7, die mit zwei Versorgungseingängen A1, A2 der Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung 1 verbunden ist. Die Energieversorgungseinheit 7 wird an eine Energiequelle 11 angeschlossen, um die Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung 1 mit Energie zu versorgen, wie in den
Weiterhin umfasst die Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung zwei Signalerzeugungseinheiten 8, 9, die als erster und zweiter Takterzeuger ausgeführt sind. Die beiden Signalerzeugungseinheiten 8, 9 sind mit entsprechenden Taktausgängen T0, T1 der Sicherheitsschalteinrichtung 1 verbunden, und stellen darüber verschiedene Taktsignale bereit. Die Takterzeugung in den Signalerzeugungseinheiten 8, 9 wird über die Abtasteinrichtung 4 gesteuert.Furthermore, the safety switching device comprises two
