5.2 Function
The product is a safe, redundant mechatronic system in accordance with the requirements of EN ISO
13849-1+2. The safe venting pneumatic safety function is guaranteed even in the event of an error in
the valve (e.g. due to wear or contamination). Through its electrical connection (NECA multi-pin plug
socket Sub-D, 9-pin), the product receives secure enable signals (EN1/EN2) from commercially-avail-
able electronic or electromechanical safety relay units, which monitor the machine’s protective
devices (e.g. emergency stop, light curtain, electric door switch on the protective housing, etc.).

Product Overview

Automatic start/monitored start modes of operation

Two modes of operation are possible:
– Automatic start (automatic reset)
The automatic start (automatic reset) mode of operation is preset with a bridge from terminal 5 to
terminal 6 in the multi-pin plug socket NECA (delivery status).
– Monitored start (monitored reset)
The monitored start (monitored reset) mode of operation should be seen as a subordinate start
from the perspective of the complete system. The enable signal from the safety relay or the con-
troller always has priority.
In both modes of operation, the product can be electrically triggered using either static or dynamic
enable signals (EN1/EN2), depending on the multi-pin plug socket NECA used.

The impulse generated by the start button must be within a time-frame of 0.1 s and 2 s.
If the start button is held down for too long or is locked down, the system identifies a cross circuit and
the product is placed in fault mode.

The start signal for S34 must not be generated until 1 s after the enable signals EN1/EN2 are gener-
ated.
If the start signal is generated before or simultaneously with the enable signals, it will not be recog-
nised and must be generated again.

– clocked enable signals (EN1/EN2 = 24 V) for detection of shorts across contacts.

Detection of shorts across contacts by clock signals is always carried out by the safety relay
unit/safety PLC.
Switching characteristics diagrams è Fig.20.

The clock outputs of different controller manufacturers are not standardised. The usability must be
checked in every case. If the clock pulse is outside the described limits, this is recognised by the
product as an error and a safe switch-off is carried out.

Switching statuses

The time delay t2 between EN1 and EN2 must be automatically defined. The duration of the delay is
not evaluated. The multi-pin plug socket NECA-MP5 does not enable the product to detect shorts
across contacts.

Signal contact
The signal contact is a potential-free N/O contact of a semiconductor relay. The contact can be picked
up in the feedback circuit of a safety control system through terminals 3 and 4 of the NECA multi-pin
plug socket as required.
NOTICE!
If the signal contact is operated outside the permitted technical data, this will cause irreparable fail-
ure. Compliance with the specification must be ensured through an appropriate protective circuit.

Operation

1. Apply operating pressure p1.

2. Switch on the supply voltage. The product runs a self-test for errors.
– Power LED (green)
– lights during self-test for around 6 s
– Flashes green after successful self-test
– Error LED (red)
– lights during self-test for around 6 s
– goes out after successful self-test
There is a brief ejection of compressed air at outlets 2 und 3 during the self-test.
Ä The product is now ready for operation and can be pressurised.

The valve is tested pneumatically in a self-test once an hour for as long as the product
remains in this status. Operating pressure p1 must be applied; otherwise, the valve switches
to malfunction.

3. Apply Enable signals EN1/EN2. In monitored start mode of operation a start signal is also required
at S34 .
– Power LED (green) lights.
– The outlet pressure p2 is built up slowly.
Duration t of the pressure build-up is adjusted with the flow control screw attached to the cover.
The output pressure rises depending on the throttle setting . When the switch-through pressure is
reached (approx. 50% of operating pressure p1), the valve’s main seat opens è Fig.11. The
product now pressurises the system at full flow.

9 Operation

The mechanical system of the product is not tested when it is pressurised.

• Perform a forced switch-off at least once a month if the process-related switching frequency is
lower.

The pause period after exhausting is 2 s. This period must always be complied with. Only then can
pressurisation be repeated.

The error code is displayed by 4 short flash pulses of the Power LED (green). Then the Error LED (red)
displays the error code (number of flash pulses = error code). The flash pulses for both LEDs repeat
continuously. The LEDs only stop flashing when the operating voltage is switched off in order to clear
the error.
Overview of error codes:

Malfunctions

Fig. 18 Example of error code

After 4 short flash pulses of the Power LED 1, there are 6 long flash pulses of the Error LED 2. This
indicates error code 6 (pneumatic fault). A pneumatic fault occurs, for example, if the operating pres-
sure is below the required minimum pressure or there is no pressure at all.

11.2 Fault clearance
