- the signals z 11, z 12 and z 14 are all high level H, and the signal z 15 output from AND 2 is high level H. Therefore, the signal z 16 output from the ND 3 becomes high level H, provided that the driving intention detection signal y 3 is at high level H. If the signal z 16 output from AND 3 is high H, the signal X 4 output from OR 4 will be high.
- Speed signal y 1 at least one of the origin signal y 1 2 and the position signal y 1 4, if not normal, the signal z 1 5 output from the A ND 2 from goes low L, the output from the AND 3 The signal z 16 also goes low.
- the machine-side operation instruction signal y7 is at the low level L
- the signal X4 output from the OR 4 is at the low level L.
- the speed signal y 1 1 and the origin It is detected that at least one of the signal y12 and the position signal y13 is abnormal.
- the speed monitoring can be realized by an encoder with function monitoring, in this embodiment, a case where a delay circuit is used will be described. That is, the overspeed monitoring unit 53 shown in the embodiment includes an on-delay circuit 531. A rectifier circuit 532 and a capacitor 533 serving as a fall delay element are provided downstream of the on-delay circuit 53 1.
- FIG. 7 is a waveform chart for explaining the operation of the overspeed monitoring unit 53 shown in FIG.
- the speed signal y 11 becomes a pulse train with a period T S 1 as shown in FIG. 7 (a).
- the pulse width PW1 of the period T S1 is selected so as to be longer than the on-delay time TD3 of the on-delay circuit 531. Therefore, when the machine movable part 4 is operating at the allowable speed, the output of the ON 'delay circuit 531 is turned on from the time when the pulse of the period TS 1 is input as shown in FIG. 7 (b). With a delay of time TD3, a pulse signal z13 occurs. Each time the pulse signal z 13 occurs, the capacitor 533 constituting the fall delay element is charged through the rectifier circuit 5 32. The terminal voltage of the capacitor 533 is supplied to AND 2 as a signal z 14 (see FIG. 7 (c)).
- the speed signal y 11 becomes a pulse train having a period TS 2 shorter than the period TS 1 as shown in FIG. 7A.
- the pulse width PW2 of the period TS2 is shorter than the ON delay time TD3 of the ON delay circuit 531, as shown in FIG.
- the pulse signal z 13 no longer occurs.
- the charging action on the capacitor 533 is lost, and the signal ⁇ 14, which is the terminal voltage of the capacitor 533, decreases with time, and as shown in FIG. AND 2 threshold V lower than th. Therefore, the signal z 15 output from AND 2 is at a low level, and the signal z 16 output from AND 3 is also at a low level.
- the present invention has great industrial applicability because the change in the non-safety-related circuit section does not affect the safety evaluation of the safety-related circuit section and can facilitate the system safety evaluation.
