NS series safety switches

Product catalog summary
Overview: The NS series safety switches incorporate solenoid and RFID technology to ensure safety in machines with hazardous conditions. They prevent access to dangerous areas until it is safe.
Specifications: These switches have a robust interlocking system with a maximum actuator holding force of 2100 N. They support series connection of up to 32 sensors while maintaining high safety levels (PL e and SIL 3). They are dustproof and suitable for high dust environments.
Safety Features: The NS series includes redundant electronics for maximum safety with a single device. They have two safety inputs and outputs for integration with other safety devices and use RFID technology for high-level coded actuators to prevent tampering.
Installation and Modularity: The switches offer flexible installation with front and side mounting options and a modular design with rotatable components. Protective caps prevent dirt accumulation and tampering.
Operating Modes: Three actuation modes are available: Mode 1 for machines with inertia, Mode 2 for machines without inertia, and Mode 3 for special applications, each determining the conditions for active safety outputs.
Environmental Protection: The devices are designed for tough conditions, passing IP67 and IP69K tests for water and dust resistance, suitable for environments requiring high protection levels.
Additional Features: The switches include key release devices and escape release buttons for emergencies, external device monitoring (EDM) for connected devices, and six LEDs for diagnostic information.
Quality and Compliance: The NS series is certified with various quality marks, including EC type examination, UL, TÜV SÜD, and EAC approvals. The housing is made of shock-proof, self-extinguishing technopolymer.
Compliance with Standards: The switches comply with numerous standards, including EN ISO 14119, EN 60947-5-3, and IEC 61508 series, ensuring high safety and performance levels.
Electrical Data: Rated operating voltage is 24 Vdc with PNP type OSSD outputs, maximum current per output of 0.25 A, and short circuit and overcurrent protection.
RFID Sensor Data: Assured operating distance is 2 mm, with a maximum switching frequency of 1 Hz.
Technical Data: Power supply is 24 Vdc ±10%, with an operating current of 40 mA min. and 0.4 A max. The solenoid duty cycle is 100% ED.
General Data: The switches achieve up to SIL 3 and PL e safety levels, with type 4 interlock and guard locking features.
Operating Principle: The actuator is locked with a de-energised solenoid, with various release options available.
Activation Modes: Mode 1 activates safety outputs when the actuator is inserted and locked, Mode 2 when inserted, and Mode 3 based on specific conditions.
External Device Monitoring (EDM): Allows control of NC contacts of contactors or relays, maintaining maximum safety levels.
Operating States: Various LED indicators provide information on power, input, output, actuator, lock, and EDM states.
Device Status and Error Handling: The document outlines operational modes and error states, providing troubleshooting and maintenance instructions.
Connector and Wiring Information: Detailed pin assignments for M12 connectors and internal cable wiring are provided.
Dimensional Drawings and Accessories: Dimensional drawings and accessory specifications, such as metal extensions and locking keys, are included.
Series Connection: Instructions for series connection using M12 connectors emphasize reduced installation times and maintained safety levels.

NS series safety switches with solenoid and RFID technology Maximum safety with a single device Description These switches are used mainly on machi‑ nes where the hazardous conditions persist even after the machine has been switched off. Mechanical parts such as pulleys, saw blades, etc., could continue to move after the machine is switched off or could still be hot or under pressure. Thus, the switches can also be used if individual guards are only to be opened under certain conditions. Versions with mode 1 (safety outputs active when guard closed and locked) are interlocks with guard locking...

Six LEDs for immediate diagnosis As the LEDs have been designed for quick immediate diagnosis, the status of each input and output is highlighted by one specific LED. This makes it possible to quickly identify the interruption points in the safety chain, which device is released, which door is opened and any errors inside the device. All of this at a glance, without needing to decode complex flashing sequences. Holding force of the unlocked actuator The inside of each switch features a device which holds the actuator in its closed position. Ideal for all those appli‑ cations where several doors...

Actuation sequence in mode 1 PWR ♦ ACT O IN 9 LOCkO OUT O The switch is supplied with power (PWR LED on, green), the IS1 and IS2 inputs are enabled (IN LED on, green), the OS1 and OS2 safety outputs are disabled (OUT LED off). The actuator is outside of the actuation zone (LED ACT off). When the actuator is brought inside the safe actuation area (dark grey area), the switch turns on the ACT LED (green). In this position, the O3 signalling output (door-closed) is activated. The actuator is not locked (LOCK LED off). The IE1, IE2 inputs can be used to lock the actuator (LOCK LED on, green). The...
