Description

The MSR42 multi-function safety relay is the control module for the GuardShield Micro 400 safety light curtain, but can also be used with any light curtain. This versatile Category 4 safety device has a pair of PNP solid state, 400 mA OSSDs for direct connection to the final switching device. When safety relay outputs are required, the MSR42 easily accommodates the interconnection of up to three MSR45E safety relay expansion modules, each providing a pair of safety relay outputs. Simply connect ribbon cable connectors from the back of the MSR42 to each of the MSR45E modules for a series of interconnections for two PNP OSSDs, and six N.O. relay outputs.

The MSR42 has four software configurable inputs. These configurable safety inputs allow the connection of a multitude of safety devices such as safety light curtains, safety laser scanners, e-stops, safety switches, etc.

This 22.5 mm DIN mount multi-function safety module has both hard wired and software configurable operating modes. The removable spring terminal connectors on the MSR42 allow for ease of wiring of the device as well as hard-wired operating mode configuration.

Manual/automatic reset and start/restart can be configured by simply changing the wiring (see basic configuration examples).

Features such as two or four sensor muting, connecting up to two additional safety light curtains or other safety devices and configuring one or two auxiliary outputs are easily configured using the optical interface with the supplied software.

The MSR42 and Micro 400 light curtains support fixed blanking which is only available in the basic configuration mode and configured through a "teach-in" selector switch via the GPIO pins.

Application Details

MSR42—Shown connected to safety light curtains.

Multiple settings are available offering a variety of advantages.

Protective Mode

Example shows a press protected by a safety light curtain connected to the MSR42.

In machine operation, whenever the light curtain beams are broken the press immediately stops to help avoid danger to the operator. Once the beams are cleared the machine can then be started.

Muting Modes

Four conveyor examples: All conveyor applications shown with a safety light curtain helping protect the dangerous area. In-line and cross beam muting is used to allow the material to pass through the light curtain without stopping the machine. Any other object or person will be detected by the light curtain which will initiate machine stop.


Four Sensor T-type

Click to enlarge - MSR42_4 sensor t-type


Bi-directional muting: In-line muting requires the material to break the beams in a sequence, as shown. Only if all four muting sensor (MS) beams are broken in turn and then clear in turn will the light curtain allow material through without initiating machine stop.

Two Sensor T-type

Bi-directional muting: Cross-beam muting requires the material to break the beams in a sequence. MS1 first and then MS2. Only if the beams are broken in turn and then clear in turn will the light curtain allow material through without initiating machine stop.

Two Sensor L-type

Uni-directional muting: This will allow material to exit the machine but not allow material or personnel to enter the machine without a fault condition. Only if both MS beams are broken in-turn and then cleared in-turn, will the light curtain allow material through without initiating a machine stop.

Two Sensor T-type with Enable

Bi-directional muting: The MS3 is an input to the MSR42 from a PLC output card. The MS3 enables the muting function to be performed. If a high signal is not detected on MS3, the muting function will not operate even if the MS1 and MS2 beams are broken. Only if MS3 is high and both MS beams are broken in-turn and then cleared in-turn, will the light curtain allow material through without initiating a machine stop.
