Definitions
- the present invention relates to a safety switching device for automated control of a technical system with a housing, at least one input for receiving an input signal, at least one processing unit for processing the input signal and generating a control signal and at least one output for outputting the control signal to an actuator, wherein the safety switching device further comprises an RJ interface provided on the housing as a user interface for the safety switching device.
- a safety switching device of this kind is known, for example, from the operating instructions "PNOZ mOp, PNOZmulti Modular Safety System, Operating Manual - No. 1002053-EN-03, Pilz GmbH & Co. KG".
- This safety switching device is a safety switching device for failsafe shutdown of an electrical load and in particular for fail-safe shutdown of a machine of a technical system, which poses a danger to people.
- This safety relay is sold by the assignee of the present invention under the brand name PNOZ ®.
- This safety switching device has two redundant signal processing channels.
- Such safety switching devices are mainly used in the industrial sector to electrically powered machines, such as a press or a milling tool, on and off, they are used in particular in conjunction with a mechanically actuated emergency stop button to the machine switch off quickly and safely in an emergency situation.
- the power supply of the machine to be disconnected is performed via working contacts of two electromechanical switching elements. As soon as only one of the two switching elements opens its normally open contacts, the power supply of the machine is interrupted.
- a safety switching device for example, a module assembly for a programmable controller, such as a programmable controller, as sold by the assignee of the present invention under the brand PSS ® .
- PSSuniversal® provides a modular programmable control device for standard and safety tasks, as known from the specification "Pilz, PSSuniversal, Programmable Control Systems PSS®, System Description, o. 21256-EN-04".
- Such modular design and configurable safety switching devices often have user interfaces that allow the user to transmit and evaluate status data and / or error messages via Ethernet.
- Such user interfaces enable the programming and parameterization of the safety relay via Ethernet and thus via external devices.
- a direct connection of visualization systems is possible via such user interfaces.
- RJ Registered Jack
- FCC Federal Communications Commission
- a common and preferred interface is the RJ-45 interface, which is colloquially known as "Ethernet interface”.
- this object is achieved by a safety switching device of the type mentioned above, wherein on a first side of the RJ interface, a first land and on an opposite second side of the RJ interface, a second land is provided, wherein the first and the second web protrude from the housing and serve to secure a securing element.
- Such webs which are preferably arranged laterally adjacent to or adjacent to the RJ interface, simplify the attachment of a fuse element considerably.
- security elements for example, cable ties, seals or similar security elements can act.
- a securing element arranged in this manner on the webs has a number of functions and associated advantages. By attaching a seal or a cable tie on the webs, for example, access to the RJ interface can be prevented. Although the seals or cable ties can also be loosened, this nevertheless increases the tamper protection of the safety relay. In particular, in the case of a seal, visible evidence has been provided that the RJ interface and thus also the safety switching device were not undesirably manipulated.
- a cable tie attached to the bars also indicates that the RJ interface should not be accessible to unauthorized persons.
- the attachment of such cable ties or seals on the webs can be done relatively easily. Since these webs protrude from the housing of the safety relay, the cable ties or seals can be easily wrapped around the webs, blocking access to the RJ interface.
- the possibility of attaching a cable tie or other securing element to the mentioned webs also has a further advantage. If the RJ plug is inserted in the RJ interface, the latter can be additionally secured with the aid of the securing element attached to the webs. This increases the contact reliability between the RJ plug and the RJ interface (RJ socket), as will be explained in detail below. On the other hand, this can prevent undesired release of the RJ plug from the RJ socket during read-out, programming or parameterization of the safety relay.
- the fuse element can therefore also serve as vibration protection.
- the first and the second web each have a first portion which projects from the housing and a second transverse thereto extending portion, which is arranged at a side facing away from the housing end of the respective first portion.
- the first portion of each ridge preferably extends substantially orthogonal to the second portion of the ridge. This results in a substantially L-shaped profile of the two webs.
- both the first and the second web each have a substantially L-shaped profile.
- Such an L-shaped profile has the advantage that an accidental release of the securing element is almost impossible.
- a cable tie wound around the two webs must therefore be intentionally cut open in order to be able to release it and thus gain access to the RJ interface. In the case of a destroyed seal, this would be completely visible to the other users, so that they receive an alarm signal that the safety relay may have been manipulated.
- the second portion of the first web and the second portion of the second web extend from the respective first portion in opposite directions.
- the second portions of the webs from the RJ interface from the outside, so away from each other.
- the webs mimic the shape of a cable reel so that a securing element can be relatively easily wrapped around the webs or tensioned.
- a covering arranged on the housing protective cover is provided to cover the RJ interface, which can be opened and closed.
- Such a protective cover essentially serves as dust protection for the RJ interface, as long as it is not used.
- a hinged protective cover for example, a hinged protective cover, but in principle also be provided sliding or removable protective covers.
- the protective covers can be formed both one or more parts.
- the protective cover is designed as a protective flap, which is open and can be folded over a transverse to the first and second web axis of articulation.
- a hinged protective cover has the particular advantage that the protective flap in the open state with an inserted RJ cable another Hedge function exercises.
- an RJ cable plugged into the RJ interface can additionally be mechanically secured.
- a cable tie strapped around the bars not only surrounds the bars themselves, but also the RJ cable and the unfolded protective flap.
- the cable tie additionally presses the protective flap against the RJ cable. This exerts further pressure on the RJ cable, keeping the RJ cable mechanically secure in the RJ interface, so that it does not come off unintentionally.
- the protective flap is closed and the cable tie or seal is fitted, the protective flap can not be opened due to the blocking securing element, so that access to the RJ interface is prevented in this case.
- the protective flap is made of an elastic material.
- the RJ interface is arranged in a recess extending between the first and the second web recess in the housing, wherein contact points of the RJ interface and the hinge axis of the protective flap are arranged on a same side of the recess.
- first portion of the first web and the first portion of the second web open into the depression or adjacent to this.
- the two webs open on opposite sides in the recess. Both webs are preferably orthogonal from the housing surface. A direct abutment of the two webs to the recess in which the RJ interface is arranged, in particular has the advantage of a space-saving arrangement. It is understood, however, that the two webs can in principle also be arranged at a certain distance from the depression. In order for the securing element attached to the webs to span the RJ interface in order to secure the RJ plug in the opened state and to prevent access to the RJ interface in the closed state, it is only necessary for the two webs to be located on opposite sides of the web RJ interface are arranged. Although an alignment of the two webs is not absolutely necessary, but facilitates the attachment of the fuse element.

- a technical system 10 with an embodiment of a safety switching device 1 according to the invention for the automated control of the technical system 10 is shown.
- This illustration is intended to illustrate the basic mode of operation of such a safety switching device 1 according to the invention.
- An inventive safety switching device 1 is particularly suitable for fail-safe shutdown of the system 10, that is, the safety switching device 1 is used for safety tasks.
- Safety switching devices of this type are frequently also generally referred to as control devices 1 for the automated control of a technical system 10.
- the system 10 includes here by way of example a robot 12, whose movements in the working mode pose a danger to persons who are in the working area of the robot 12. For this reason, the working area of the robot 12 is secured with a protective fence with a protective door 14.
- the protective door 14 allows access to the working area of the robot 12, for example for maintenance or set-up. In normal operation, however, the robot 12 may only operate when the protective door 14 is closed. Once the guard door 14 is opened, the robot 12 must be turned off or otherwise brought to a safe condition.
- a safety door switch with a door part 16 and a frame part 18 is attached to the protective door 14.

- FS fail-safe
- the safety switching device 1 has two redundant switching elements 30a, 30b. Each of these two switching elements is capable of switching on a high voltage potential 32 to a device connection 38a, 38b of the safety switching device 1, in order to allow a current flow to a contactor 40a, 40b, or to interrupt this current flow.
- each of the switching elements an actuator, such as a contactor or a solenoid valve, off.
- the contactors 40a, 40b each have working contacts 42a, 42b.
- the normally open contacts 42a, 42b are arranged here in series with one another in a power supply path from a power supply 44 to the robot 12.
- the contacts 42 drop off and the power supply for the robot 12 is switched off.
- a "radical" shutdown is exemplified herein. Deviating from this, in the case of a safety requirement, only parts of the robot 12 can be switched off, such as the dangerous drives, while other parts of the robot 12 remain functional. A delayed shutdown is also conceivable, so that the robot 12 may possibly be braked controlled before switching off the drives.
- the safety switching device 1 controls the switching elements 30a, 30b here in response to the signal of the safety door switch on the line 19 and in response to another input signal from an emergency stop button 46 at.
- the emergency stop button 46 is connected via lines with device connections of the control device 1.
- each of the input signals can be applied redundantly, or in each case two input and output lines or connections can be provided (not shown in FIG. 1).
- two input lines or inputs can be provided for the emergency stop button 46, each of which supplies an input signal from the emergency stop button 46. The same applies to the signal of the safety door switch.
- the safety switching device 1 generates output signals which are fed to the individual signaling devices.
- an output signal is conducted via a line 48 to the frame part 18 of the safety door switch.
- the frame member 18 grinds the output signal of the safety switching device 1 from the line 48 to the line 19 when the door part 16 is in the vicinity of the frame part 18, that is, when the protective door 14 is closed. Therefore, the safety switching device 1 can monitor the safety door switch with the aid of the output signal on the line 48 and with the aid of the input signal on the line 19.
- the control device 1 here monitors the emergency stop button 46.
- two redundant output signals of the safety switching device 1 are often used in practice, which are each guided via a separate signal line to a signaling device and looped back to the safety switching device 1 via this signaling device.

- the input signals of the individual signaling devices are read either via the direct connections on the connection module 52 or via the communication BUS 60 via the I / O modules and the actuators to be controlled, as already explained above, driven according to the programmable control logic.
- a plurality of ventilation slots 62 are preferably provided, which ensure adequate ventilation and cooling of the interior of the housing 27.
- a labeling flap 64 is further arranged, which protects labeling labels attached below it with respect to the safety switching device 1 and / or with respect to the occupation of the inputs and outputs 29a, b.

- an RJ interface 66 would suffice.
- a second RJ interface 66 as shown with reference to the exemplary embodiment shown, has the advantage that a plurality of safety switching devices can be connected to one another via the second RJ interface 66 (via Ethernet cable), so that in this way via the first RJ interface Several safety relays can be read out, programmed or parameterized simultaneously.
- An essential part of the present invention relates to the enhancement of these RJ interfaces 66.
- a first ridge 68a is on each of a first side of the RJ interfaces 66
- a second web 68b is provided on a second opposite side of the RJ interface 66.
- Both webs 68a, b are preferably orthogonal from the housing 27 from.
- the two webs 68a, b serve to secure a securing element 70a, b.
- two different securing elements 70a, b are shown by way of example, which are attached to or wound around the two webs 68a, b.
- the fuse element 70a is a seal.
- the securing element 70b is a commercially available cable tie.
- the securing elements 70a, b in the assembled state cover the area of the RJ interfaces 66 and thus prevent their access. So long as no RJ plug is connected to the interfaces 66 and the securing elements 70a, b are mounted on the webs 68a, b, the RJ interfaces 66 are not accessible.
- the safety switching device 1 can thus be read, programmed or parameterized only after loosening the fuse elements 70a, b.
- seals 70a or cable ties 70b with the corresponding equipment are quite possible, nevertheless a certain protection against manipulation of the safety switching device 1 is ensured.
- a user immediately receives the visual signal in the closed state shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 that a "tapping" of the RJ interfaces 66 is not desired.
- a seal 70a is also ensured that an unnoticed "tapping" of the safety switching device 1 is hardly possible because a loosening of the seal 70a would be subsequently identified.
- the webs 68a, b preferably have an L-shaped profile.
- Each web 68a, b has for this purpose a first portion 72 which protrudes from the housing 27, and a second transverse thereto extending portion 74, which is arranged at the end remote from the housing 27 of the first portion 72.
- the second transverse sections 74 of the two pairs of webs 68a, b preferably point away from one another, that is, outward viewed from the RJ interface 66. The transverse sections 74 thus prevent the securing element 70a, b (intentionally or unintentionally) from being released from the webs 68a, b at the top.
- the webs 68a, b are preferably designed to be partially elastic or resilient. When mounting a fuse element 70a, b so they can yield a little.
- the RJ interfaces 60 according to the embodiment shown are additionally covered with a protective flap 76. These protective flaps 76 serve not only as access prevention to the RJ interfaces 66, but also as additional dust protection. In the closed state, this can prevent contamination or even corrosion of the contact points 78 of the RJ interfaces 66.
- RJ interfaces 66 are each arranged in a recess 80.
- said webs 68a, b open directly into the recesses 80, whereby a relatively space-saving arrangement is ensured.
- the lands 68a, b may also be (slightly) spaced from the depression 80.
- An attached handle or lever 82 allows this in a simple manner by hand.
- a hinge axis 84 (see in particular FIG. 5), around which the protective flap 66 can rotate or unfold, is attached to the housing 27 for this purpose.
- the webs 68a, b and the securing elements 70a, b arranged thereon in the closed state of the protective flap 76 also fulfill an advantageous purpose in the opened state of the protective flaps 76.
- the RJ plugs can be connected by means of the webs 68a, b and the securing elements (in this case, preferably with the help of cable ties 70b) additionally secure. This prevents inadvertent removal of the RJ plug in particular and thus serves as additional vibration protection.
- the protective flaps 76 are of course opened. It is at this point mentioned that the protective flaps 76 preferably have two mechanically defined positions, namely a closed position (as shown in Fig. 5) and a mechanically defined open position (as shown in Fig. 7).
- the cable ties 70b are preferably not only tensioned around the two webs 68a, b, but also span the respective protective flap 76. In this way, the protective flap 76 exerts an additional pressure on the RJ plugs 86a, b, which additionally pushes the RJ plugs 86a, b into the RJ interface 66.
- the hinge axis 84 of the protective flap 76 on the same side of the recess 80 is arranged as the contact points 78 of the RJ interface 66.
- This has the substantial advantage that by the cable tie 70b on the protective flap 76 and thereby in turn on the RJ plug 84a, b applied pressure induces a tilting moment, which presses the contacts of the RJ connector 86a, b toward the contact points 78 of the RJ interfaces 66.
- the contact security is enormous improved.
- both conventional RJ45 plugs 86b and slightly modified RJ45 plugs 86a are suitable.
- the slightly modified RJ45 connector 86b has a slightly wider and more robust connector housing than the commercially available RJ45 connector 86a. This facilitates on the one hand the clamping described above with the help of the cable tie 70b and also increases its robustness against possible damage.
