Due to the downsizing many manufacturers have experienced, engineering responsibilities have increased into areas like controls and safety; this free book will help them understand how to make their plants and machines safe and compliant.
Machine safety encompasses everything from incorporating guards to designing safe motion into machines.Topics include: standards, directives and laws; safeguards; safe control technology; safe communication; and safe motion.Inside you will find diagrams, charts and examples as well as equations that will aid in ensuring employee safety.
The book has been authored by eleven leading practitioners in the safety field. They include Pilz engineers, international academic lecturers and lawyers from manufacturing law firms.
This compendium answers questions like: What you must know in order to export machines to Europe, it addresses the Machinery Directive changes and CE Marking.
Topics like guarding, protective devices, fixed guards, movable guards, optoelectronic protective devices and design of safeguards are discussed. Pictures of undected faults in safety circuits and how to connect safety gates are also reviewed. The Compendium contains diagrams of wiring, discussions of items like light curtains and formulas engineers need to know when making machines safe. Concepts such as functional safeguards are also reviewed. Review and understand the terminology related to ‘manipulation of safeguards’, how and why it is done and what you can do to prevent it.
Other topics include safety relays; configurable safety relays and how safety is an integral part of the overall plant and machine function. Basic principles of safety-related communication are given as well as safe fieldbus communication principles and safe Ethernet communication definitions. Principles of safe motion are also reviewed.
