Set up the logic for each safety zone independently. Determine the safety functions required for each zone, such as Emergency Stop, Guard Monitoring, or Two-Hand Control. Configure the logic to implement these safety functions based on the inputs and outputs assigned to each zone. http://www.pilz.com
Implement interlocking logic between safety zones to prevent conflicting safety actions. For example, ensure that activating the Emergency Stop in one zone deactivates the outputs of other zones to prevent unintended machine movements. Conduct thorough testing of the implemented safety solution to ensure it meets safety standards and regulations. Obtain any necessary certifications for compliance with applicable safety standards.
Test and simulate the logic for each safety zone to verify its behavior under different scenarios. Use the simulation feature in myPNOZ Creator to identify and address any potential safety risks or issues. Implement the designed safety solution in your physical setup according to the documentation generated. Ensure that wiring and connections are made correctly and that safety devices are installed and configured properly.
Regularly maintain and monitor the safety system to ensure continued safe operation. Perform periodic checks and inspections to verify that all safety devices are functioning correctly and that the logic is still effective for each zone.
