Hi all,
I need help/feedback.
I am modifying a machine. I have added an aluminium profile frame (enclosure ) to a machine (the machine will be inside this enclosure; on the drawing, it is marked as an "external unit"). On the profile frame, I have added a door; on the door, I have added a Safety Interlocking Switch. If I open the door, I want the switch to kill power to the contactor, which then turns off the machine.
Now I have it all wired up; the safety relay is getting power; however, the safety switch is not turning off the power to the relay. The channels on the safety relay is not turning on either,
I have wired the safety switch to the safety Relay in line with the GSM user manual. I have wired it in two different configurations but to no avail.
V1 wiring: the safety switch is flashing red, meaning error state, as per the GSM user manual,
V2 wiring: the safety switch is green. However, I want to get blinking green because I am not using the lock control input.
From my understanding, getting Green light means the GSM is ready to lock the door, and the blinking green means no lock is needed; once the connecting with the door and the switch is disconnected, the safety switch will turn off the safety relay.
I have contacted Keyence about this, but they have yet to be helpful; the below image is the response I got. I'm assuming the safety relay I have should work, and I can't see that there would be a difference if I got another safety relay; maybe there is something Im missing; someone, please correct me if otherwise
Kind regards,
If anyone has experience here, please share your thoughts.
