Standards	Requirements
IEC 61496-1:2012	A.7 Muting A.7.1.2 There shall be at least two independent hard-wired muting signal sources to initiate the function. It shall not be possible to initiate muting when the OSSDs are already in the OFF-state. A.7.1.3 The mute function shall only be initiated by the correct sequence and/or timing of the mute signals. Should conflicting muting signals occur, the ESPE shall not allow a muted condition to occur. A.7.1.4 There shall be at least two independent hard-wired muting signal sources to stop the function. The muting function shall stop when the first of these muting signals changes state. The deactivation of the muting function shall not rely only on the clearance of the ESPE. A.7.1.5 The muting signals should be continuously present during muting. When the signals are not continuously present, an incorrect sequence and/or the expiration of a pre-set time limit shall cause either a lock-out condition or a restart interlock. A.7.4 Indication: A mute status signal or indicator shall be provided (in some applications, an indication signal of muting is necessary.

Muting is the intended suppression of the safety function. In this FB, parallel muting with four muting sensors is specified.

This is required, e.g., when transporting the material into the danger zone without causing the machine to stop. Muting is triggered by muting sensors. The use of two or four muting sensors and correct integration into the production sequence must ensure that no persons enter the danger zone while the light curtain is muted. Muting sensors can be proximity switches, photoelectric barriers, limit switches, etc. which do not have to be fail-safe. Active muting mode must be indicated by indicator lights.

There are sequential and parallel muting procedures. In this FB, parallel muting with four muting sensors was used; an explanation is provided below. The FB can be used in both directions, forward and backward. The muting should be enabled with the MutingEnable signal by the process control to avoid manipulation.

The FB input parameters include the signals of the four muting sensors (MutingSwitch11 .. MutingSwitch22), the OSSD signal from the AOPD device (S_AOPD_In) as well as three parameterizable times (DiscTime11_12, DiscTime21_22 and MaxMutingTime).

The S_StartReset input shall only be activated if it is ensured that no hazardous situation can occur when the PES is started.

Example for SF_MutingPar in forward direction with four sensors

1

If the muting sensors MutingSwitch11 (MS_11) and MutingSwitch12 (MS_12) are activated by the product within the time DiscTime11_12, muting mode is activated (S_MutingActive = TRUE).

The MaxMutingTime starts with the first actuated muting sensor.

2

Muting mode remains active as long as MutingSwitch11 (MS_11) and MutingSwitch12 (MS_12) are activated by the product. The product may pass through the light curtain without causing a machine stop.

3

Before muting sensors MutingSwitch11 (MS_11) and MutingSwitch12 (MS_12) are disabled, muting sensors MutingSwitch21 (MS_21) and MutingSwitch22 (MS_22) must be activated. This ensures that muting mode remains active. The time discrepancy between switching of MutingSwitch21 and MutingSwitch22 is monitored by the time DiscTime21_22.

4

Muting mode is terminated if either muting sensor MutingSwitch21 (MS_21) or MutingSwitch22 (MS_22) is disabled by the product. The maximum time for muting mode to be active is the MaxMutingTime.

Error detection

The FB detects the following error conditions:

DiscTime11_12 and DiscTime21_22 have been set to values less than T#0s or greater than T#4s.
MaxMutingTime has been set to a value less than T#0s or greater than T#120min.
The discrepancy time for the MutingSwitch11/MutingSwitch12 or MutingSwitch21/MutingSwitch22 sensor pairs has been exceeded.
The muting function (S_MutingActive = TRUE) exceeds the maximum muting time MaxMutingTime.
Muting sensors MutingSwitch11, MutingSwitch12, MutingSwitch21, and MutingSwitch22 are activated in the wrong order.
Muting sequence starts without being enabled by MutingEnable.
A static Reset condition is detected in states 8401 and 8402.

Error behavior

In the event of an error, the S_AOPD_Out and S_MutingActive outputs are set to FALSE. The DiagCode output indicates the relevant error code and the Error output is set to TRUE.

A restart is inhibited until the error conditions are cleared and the safe state is acknowledged with Reset by the operator.
