| As a general rule applies: Machinery and devices presenting dangerous movements must be provided with an emergency stop device. This device is monitored by a suitable safety relay unit. The bumper sensor is are built up of mechanically opening N/C contacts connected in series, in the form of a contact chain. Current conducting contacts rollers and insulating intermediate elements (wedge rollers) are alternately lined up on an expander cord. By pre-tension, the contact rollers are pressed together, and the current circuit is made. | Actuation of the safety edge leads to at least one pair of the contact roller to separate by action of the wedge-shaped intermediate elements, and the current circuit is broken. Due to the positive break of the supply, transformation of the output signal is not required, since a circuit interruption signal is directly available. This signal is fed to the safety relay unit anyway needed for the E-stop button. Note: Wiring of the contact chain is performed in an identical way as of an E-stop button |

Either electrically operating devices to the contact-make principle (two conductive strips or layers are brought together when the safety mat is operated), or opto-electronic systems (a light beam is interrupted) are available on the market. Such configurations need a special evaluator for transforming and processing the output signal. |
