Safety guidelines for input parameters

TOn and TOff

• The reaction time (input parameters

TOn and TOff) must not adversely

affect the availability of the press.

• Please note that pressure and temperature fluctuations can vary the

valve's reaction times.

• Please note that the clearance distance from the machine must be

calculated in accordance with the values established by measuring the
overrun on the press.

• Please note that the overrun of the machine will be determined by the

reaction time of the valve.
If the switching times of the valves increase during the lifetime of a
machine, the overrun distance will also increase. This means that the
safety distance will need to be increased. Always check that the reaction
times are set correctly (input parameters

TOn and TOff). This is the only

way in which SB087 can sensibly monitor the reaction times on which the
safety distance is based, detect the valve's increased reaction times and
therefore switch the valve to a safe condition (start position).

• Reaction times should be set as short as possible (input parameter

TOn

and

TOff).

WARNING!

If the time values entered for

TOn and TOff are too long, serious injuries

could result should the danger zone be accessed during operation.

The reaction time of the safety valve determines the stopping time of the
press on an emergency stop. The stopping time determines the safety
distance to the tool.

Reaction times should be included in the calculation of the safety
distance if the time values you are setting for the parameters

TOn and

TOff are significantly higher than the actual valve reaction times.

• Please note:

- With directional control valves (input parameter

VTyp = 0), the reaction

time when the valve switches on and off must always be monitored
(see under “Settings for the parameters

TOn and TOff).

- With poppet valves, the reaction time when the valve switches on and

off may be monitored (see under “Settings for the parameters

TOn and

TOff”).
