MaxMutingTime input

Specification of the maximum permissible time for the entire muting operation. If the muting operation is not completed within this time, the S_AOPD_Out output is switched to the defined safe state SAFEFALSE and the function block signals an error (Error switches to TRUE).

Data type: TIME

Initial value: #0ms

Connection: Connect this input to a time literal, i.e., to a constant of the data type TIME.

The following is valid for a material flow direction from left to right:

This timer starts when the first muting sensor located before the safety equipment (at input MutingSwitch11) provides a TRUE signal (i.e., there is an object inside the detection area of the sensor).
The muting operation is complete when the first muting sensor located behind the safety equipment (at the MutingSwitch21 input) provides FALSE again.

The following is valid for a material flow direction from right to left:

This timer starts when the first muting sensor located before the safety equipment (at input MutingSwitch22) provides a TRUE signal (i.e., there is an object inside the detection area of the sensor).
The muting operation is complete when the first muting sensor located behind the safety equipment (at the MutingSwitch12 input) provides FALSE again.

Further Information:

Also refer to the example muting operation procedure shown in the functional description for this function block.

WARNING
	NON-CONFORMANCE TO SAFETY FUNCTION REQUIREMENTS Verify that the time value set at MaxMutingTime corresponds to your risk analysis. Be sure that your risk analysis includes an evaluation for incorrectly setting the time value for the MaxMutingTime parameter. Validate the overall safety-related function with regard to the set MaxMutingTime value and thoroughly test the application. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
