TSAM wiring and programming example
This example complies with ISO 13849-1 Category 4 operation. The standard control portion of the application is not shown.
Wiring Example
This wiring diagram shows how to wire a light curtain and two muting sensors to a 1791DS-IB12 module to illustrate the use of the Two-sensor Asymmetrical Muting instruction. The application includes a hold-to-run switch and a momentary push button for reset.
Programming Example
This programming diagram logically illustrates how the Two-sensor Asymmetrical Muting instruction is typically used with a DCI Stop (light curtain) and DCI Start (hold-to-run switch) instruction.

TIP:
The tag in the preceding diagram is an internal Boolean tag that represents the nonhazardous portion of the machine cycle. Its value is determined by other parts of the user application that are not shown in this example. When the protected hazard is present, the tag value should be False (0). When the protected hazard is not present, this tag value should be true (1). When the value of the tag is true (1), the muting instruction allows the light curtain to become muted only if the proper input sequence is detected. When the value of the tag is False (0), the muting instruction does not allow the light curtain to become muted, even if the proper input sequence is detected.
The programming software is used to configure the input and output parameters of the Guard I/O module, as illustrated.
When defining the module, selecting Combined Status-Muting lets the muting lamp be monitored. Choosing Test for Output Data lets safety logic control Test Output 3 to drive the Muting Lamp and Test Output 2 to drive the Clear Area lamp.
Module Definition
Rockwell Automation
suggests the use of Exact Match
, as shown. However, setting Electronic Keying
to Compatible Match
is allowed. The safety inputs that interface with the Light Curtain (Points 1 and 2) are not pulse-tested because the Light Curtain pulse-tests its own signals.Module Input Configuration
Configuring Test Output 3 for Muting Lamp causes the I/O module to monitor the lamp that is connected to this output.
