7.3 Validate safety functions
7.3.1 Validation
Once the system has been installed and configured, check that the safety functions are
activated/deactivated as expected and that the dangerous area is actually monitored by the system.
WARNING! The Inxpect Safety application facilitates installation and configuration of the system,
but the validation process described below is still required.
7.3.2 Validating the access detection function
Starting
conditions
Machinery in safe conditions.
Validation
procedure
1. Access the stopping area.
2. Check that the system activates the safety function (de-energizing safety
outputs). See "Validate the system with Inxpect Safety" on the next page.
3. If it does not activate, see "Troubleshooting validation" on the next page.
Specifications l Access from several points with particular attention to the side areas of the field of
vision and the limit areas (e.g. intersection with any side guards), see "Example of
access points" below.
l Access standing as well as crawling.
l Access moving slowly and quickly.
7.3.3 Example of access points
Access points for 110° field of vision
Access points for 50° field of vision
7.3.4 Validate the restart prevention function
Starting
conditions
l Machinery in safe conditions
l Safety function activated (safety outputs de-energized)
Validation
procedure
1. Stand still in the stopping area.
2. Check that the system maintains the safety function activated (safety outputs de-
energized). See "Validate the system with Inxpect Safety" on the next page.
3. If deactivated, see "Troubleshooting validation" on the next page.
Specifications l Stop for at least one time interval set as the restart delay (Inxpect Safety > Settings
> Sensors).
l Stop in several different points, with special attention to the areas in close
proximity to the sensor and any blind spots, see "Examples of stopping points" on
the next page.
l Stop standing as well as laid down.
