Correct use
The Coded Electronic Safety switches series CES are safety devices for monitor-
ing movable safety guards.
In combination with a separating safety guard and the machine control, this safety
component prevents dangerous machine movements from occurring while the
safety guard is open. A stop command is triggered if the safety guard is opened
during the dangerous machine function.
Before safety switches are used, a risk assessment must be performed on the
machine, e.g., in accordance with:
Ì EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery. Safety related parts of control systems.
General principles for design
Ì EN ISO 12100, Safety of machinery – General principles for design – Risk as-
sessment and risk reduction
Ì IEC 62061, Safety of machinery. Functional safety of safety-related electrical,
electronic and programmable electronic control systems.
Correct use includes compliance with the relevant requirements for installation
and operation, for example
Ì EN ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery. Safety related parts of control systems.
General principles for design
Ì EN 1088, Safety of machinery. Interlocking devices associated with guards.
Principles for design and selection
Ì EN 60204-1, Safety of machinery. Electrical equipment of machines. General
requirements
Ì EN 60947-5-3, Specification for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear. Con-
trol circuit devices and switching elements. Requirements for proximity devices
with defined behavior under fault conditions
The safety switch must be used only in conjunction with the designated CES ac-
tuators from EUCHNER. On the use of different actuators, EUCHNER provides no
warranty for safe function.
Several devices are only allowed to be connected in series using devices intended
for series connection with the CES-AR. Check the operating instructions for the
related device. A combination of other CES devices or devices from other manu-
facturers is not allowed.
A maximum of 20 safety switches are allowed to be operated in a switch chain.
Important!
Ì The user is responsible for the integration of the device into a safe overall
system. For this purpose, the overall system must be validated, e.g. in ac-
cordance with EN ISO 13849-2.
Ì Correct use requires observing the permissible operating parameters (see
Technical data).
Ì If a product data sheet is included with the product, the information on the
data sheet applies in case of discrepancies with the operating instructions.
Ì In the estimation of the PL for the overall system, a maximum value of
100 years can be assumed for the MTTF
d
according to the limit value in
EN ISO 13849-1:2008, section 4.5.2. This corresponds to a minimum value
for the PFH
d
of 2.47x10 -8 /h.
Ì When up to 11 devices are connected in series, these limit values can be
assumed for the entire switch chain as a subsystem. As a subsystem, this
switch chain achieves PL e.
