Instruction Manual

Cascadeable EZ-SCREEN

Figure 7-8. Hookup of E-stop buttons to the last receiver in the

cascade

7.8 Emergency Stop Buttons and Rope/Cable Pulls

Cascadeable EZ-SCREEN receivers may be connected to one

or more E-stop buttons. The button(s) must connect to the end of

the last receiver in the cascade, in place of the terminator plug.
The connected E-stop button(s) will activate/deactivate the

OSSD outputs in all receivers in the cascade.
The number of E-stop buttons allowed in a series connection is

limited by the total resistance per channel. The total resistance

is the sum of all contact resistance values in the channel, plus

the total wire resistance in the channel. The maximum total

resistance per channel is 100 Ohms.
NOTE: The simultaneity between the two E-stop contacts, on

opening and closing, is 3 seconds. If simultaneity is not

met on either opening or closing, the first receiver’s display

will flash “|- - -|.” If simultaneity is not met on opening, the

closed contact can be opened later (after more than 3

seconds), then both contacts must be closed again.

deliberate action (such as twisting, pulling, or unlocking). The

switch should be a “positive-opening type,” as described by

IEC947-5-1. A mechanical force applied to such a button (or

switch) is transmitted directly to the contacts, forcing them

open. This ensures that the switch contacts will open whenever

the switch is activated. ANSI/NFPA 79 specifies the following

additional requirements:

Emergency Stop push buttons shall be located at each

operator control station and at other operating stations where

emergency shutdown shall be required.

Stop and Emergency Stop push buttons shall be continuously

operable from all control and operating stations where located.

Actuators of Emergency Stop devices shall be colored Red.

The background immediately around the device actuator shall

be colored Yellow. The actuator of a push-button-operated

device shall be of the palm or mushroom-head type.

• The Emergency Stop actuator shall be a self-latching type.
NOTE: Some applications may have additional requirements.

The user must comply with all relevant regulations.

WARNING . . .

Multiple E-Stop Switches

Whenever two or more E-stop switches are connected

to the same EZ-SCREEN receiver, the contacts of the

E-stop switches must be connected together in series. This series

combination is then wired to the respective

EZ-SCREEN receiver input.

Never connect the contacts of multiple E-stop switches in

parallel to the EZ-SCREEN inputs; this defeats the switch

contact monitoring ability of the EZ-SCREEN light curtain,

and creates an unsafe condition which could result in

serious bodily injury or death.

Also, when two or more E-stop switches are used, each

switch must be individually actuated (engaged), then

re-armed and the EZ-SCREEN light curtain reset (if using

latch mode). This allows the monitoring circuits to check each

switch and its wiring to detect faults. Failure to test each switch

individually in this manner could result in undetected faults

and create an unsafe condition which could result in serious

bodily injury or death.

WARNING . . .

Emergency Stop Functions

If Cascade Input is used for an Emergency Stop function, do not

mute or bypass the safety outputs (OSSDs) of the EZ-SCREEN.

NFPA79 requires that the Emergency Stop function remain active at

all times. Muting or bypassing the safety outputs will render the

Emergency Stop function ineffective.

WARNING . . .

Reset Routine Required

U.S. and international standards require that a reset routine be

performed after returning the E-stop switch to its closed-contact

position (when arming the E-stop switch). When automatic reset is

used, an alternate means must be established to require a reset

routine, after the E-stop switch is armed. Allowing the machine

to restart as soon as the E-stop switch is armed creates an

unsafe condition which could result in serious injury or death.

E-Stop Switch Requirements (Positive-Opening)

As shown in Figure 7-8, the E-stop switch must provide two

contact pairs, which are closed when the switch is in the

“armed” position. Once activated, the E-stop switch must open

its contacts and return to the closed-contact position only after

22 awg
