Operating Principle In this system the guard is locked closed until the solenoid is energized. The solenoid can only be energized when: • The auxiliary contacts at K1(a) & K2(a) are closed (therefore power contacts at KI & K2 are open). • The CU2 senses stopped motion and closes its output circuit at terminals 13-14. • The lock release button is pressed. The monitoring contacts 3-9 isolate power to the contactor control circuits when the solenoid is in the unlocked mode. The guard operated contact sets at 4-10 and 21-22 are opened whenever the guard is not fully closed. The output contacts at 13-14 and 23-24 on the Minotaur will only be closed (allowing power to the control circuit) when both input circuits S13-S14 and S23-S24 are closed. Therefore the motor can only be started when the guard is in the closed and locked position. Fault Detection If either contactor K1or K2 sticks ON - The motor will stop on command but the guard cannot be opened (thus the fault is revealed to the operator). A single fault which causes solenoid energization circuit will initiate a STOP via contacts 3-9. A single fault within the CU2 will prevent the closing of its outputs (preventing solenoid energization). A single fault detected on the Minotaur input and output circuits will result in the lock-out of the system to a safe state (OFF) at the next operation of the respective input device. An open circuit fault across the solenoid energization circuit will prevent guard opening (other than by the emergency release points on the Atlas). Comments This system provides an interlock function of high integrity and will be suitable for many high risk applications. It is suitable for applications where motion overruns after the stop command and the time taken to run down to a stop is not predictable, consistent or more than approx. 30 minutes. 18-19
