Precautions

WARNING
IMPROPER SETUP OR INSTALLATION
 This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified personnel.
 Read, understand, and follow the compliance in this manual before installing the
XPSLCMUT1160 Muting safety module.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

Meeting Full Compliance

Use of the muting function requires special precautions by the safety system machine controller,
installer, operator, and employer. The following information is only a partial list of requirements for
muting applications and is not intended to be a complete guide to muting standards. The employer
must contact the local safety authority for specific requirements regarding the machine, machine
controller, and safety-related control system.
Schneider Electric provides the following information for reference only, and makes no claim
regarding its accuracy, completeness, or effectiveness for a specific application.
 Mute the light curtain only during the non-hazardous portion of the machine cycle.
 If the machine tool has reversing capability that could cause a muting hazard, provide a control
wiring diagram that includes an automatic method of preventing muting in the reverse direction.
 Depending on the risk assessment, provide one or more visual indicators that illuminate when
the light curtain is in a muted condition.
 Ensure that the light curtain cannot enter a mute condition when a fault is present.
 Ensure that the mute indicators are visible from any normal machine operator position and from
the position from which any muting adjustments are normally carried out.
 Provide two, independent muting signal sources to the XPSLCMUT1160. A single, simple cam-
operated limit switch is inadequate as a muting signal source since its failure can remain
undetected.
 Ensure that the guarded machine is able to stop anywhere in its cycle. Do not use a
XPSLCMUT1160 as a cascaded system on a press with a full-revolution clutch.
 Ensure that additional guarding is used to limit access to any hazardous zone not covered by
the safety-related device system.

EAV7501201 04/2015 11
Safety Requirements

 The muting position (of the mute signal source) shall be secured against unauthorized
adjustment by provision of special tools, key entry, electronics passwords, and the positioning
and mounting of associated limit switches.
 The guarded machine must have a consistent stopping time and adequate control mechanisms.
 All safety-related machine control elements must be designed so that a fault in the control logic
or failure of the control circuit does not lead to a failure or danger.
 Additional guarding may be required for access to dangerous areas not covered by the safety
device system.
 Perform the test procedure at installation and after maintenance, adjustment, repair, or
modification to the machine controls, tooling, dies or machine, or the XPSLCMUT1160 and
safety device system.
 Follow all procedures in this manual for proper operation of the XPSLCMUT1160 Muting safety
module.
 Additional measures may be necessary to ensure that the XPSLCMUT1160 does not fail when
other forms of radiation are present in a particular application (for example, use of cableless
control devices on cranes or radiation from weld spatter).
The enforcement of these requirements is beyond the control of Schneider Electric. The employer
has the sole responsibility to follow the preceding requirements and any other procedures,
conditions, and requirements specific to the machinery.

Muting Function Description

Muting
Muting bypasses the protective function on safety-related control systems during a predetermined,
non-hazardous portion of the machine operation.
The muting mode is active only when the correct sequence of muting sensor input signals is
achieved. The object of the correct muting sensor selection and orientation is to always recognize
the presence of the work piece material as the intended means to start or stop the muting
sequence. Any entry into the detection zone by any animate or inanimate object, generating a
sequence of the muting sensors different from the pre-determined one, will result in a stop signal
being sent to the guarded machine.
When the system is in the muting state, an indicator lamp must be lit. This lamp must be visible to
all personnel in the immediate area.
The XPSLCMUT1160 can be used with Type 2 or Type 4 safety light curtain system.
If the XPSLCMUT1160 is connected to a Type 4 safety light curtain with two auto-controlled PNP
solid state outputs, the system thus formed is compliant with type 4 (IEC 61496-1), SILCL3
(IEC 62061), and PLe - Cat. 4 (EN ISO 13849-1:2008).
If the XPSLCMUT1160 is connected to a Type 2 safety light curtain with two auto-controlled PNP
solid state outputs, the system thus formed is compliant with type 2 (IEC 61496-1), SILCL1,
IEC 62061, and PLc - Cat. 2 (EN ISO 13849-1:2008).

The response time of the muting module must be added to the response time of the safety light
curtain system with which it is associated.

WARNING
UNEXPECTED OUTPUT OPERATION
The response time of the XPSLCMUT1160 is 20 ms maximum.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

14 EAV7501201 04/2015
 Product Description

WARNING
IMPROPER MUTING UTILIZATION
Muting state is a temporary bypass or disabling of the safety light curtain detection zone. It is the
duty of any user or integrator to check whether the use of muting function is consistent with the
application risk assessment.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

WARNING
IMPROPER MUTE INDICATION
An indication that the protected area is muted must be provided and readily observable to the
machine operator. The mute lamp is an important warning device to the machine operator,
indicating that muting is active.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

EAV7501201 04/2015 15
Product Description

WARNING
UNEXPECTED OUTPUT OPERATION
Sensors position and sequence activation determine the muting function.
Verify that muting is functioning before commissioning the safety light curtain.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

WARNING
REDUCED PROTECTION LEVEL
The circuit that performs the muting function shall have an appropriate safety-related
performance (SIL or PL, see IEC 62061 and EN ISO 13849-1:2008). The safety-related
performance of the circuit that performs the muting function shall not adversely affect the
performance of the protective function.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

 Product Description

Muting Principle
The following figures present the principle of a muting sequence with two pairs of thru-beam
photocells. In this example, the transported material moves in the direction of the hazardous zone:

A The object is not detected by the muting sensors.

B The object is detected by the muting sensors. When the two beams are interrupted, the muting
function is activated. The object will cross the safety light curtain beam without stopping the
machine.
C When at least one beam is cleared, the muting function is stopped.

EAV7501201 04/2015 17
Product Description

Application Example

Application Information
This section contains several examples of how the XPSLCMUT1160 muting module may be used
with various sensor arrangements to start and end the muting sequence.

NOTICE
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
The photoelectric sensors used must be "Dark On" type and have PNP outputs.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

XPSLCMUT1160 is a safety interface module between a safety light curtain system and 2 muting
sensors. XPSLCMUT1160 is designed for two photoelectric muting sensors (e.g. thru-beam
photocells). Other sensors technologies are not suitable. The XPSLCMUT1160 integrates muting
logic and guided contact safety relays (2 NO contacts), one PNP output for the relays status
monitoring, and one PNP output for the muting lamp.

Selection and Orientation of Muting Sensors

Select and orient the muting sensors so that they recognize the presence of the work piece as the
condition for starting or stopping the muting sequence. The presence of any person in the detection
zone of the muting sensors must never initiate a muting sequence.
The proper selection, installation, and orientation of the muting sensors are the sole responsibility
of the employer and installer. The following recommendations must be observed, especially in
applications involving conveyors.
 Ensure that the muting sensors detect the material, and not the transportation means, such as
a pallet, cart, or other transport device.
 Ensure that a person on the transport device cannot initiate muting and enter the hazardous
zone.
 Do not allow interruption in the sensing of the material while the material passes the muting
sensors. The detection of the material should be continuous over its length.
 When using photoelectric sensors, do not allow reflective material to interrupt or cause optical
paths among different sensors. Do not allow sensors in adjacent areas to interfere with each
other or provide false indication.
 Position the sensors such that before a new material is detected by the sensors, the previous
material has passed the sensors, and all muting sensors are deactivated for a time.
 Consider the overall speed and cycle of the material as it moves through the process. Allow time
for evaluating the muting sensors outputs before the material reaches the safeguarding device.
 Detect and prevent people from entering the hazardous zone of the machine. The safeguarding
device must be able to send a stop signal to the machine before a person enters the hazardous
zone. Other safeguarding methods, such as physical barriers or fences, may be necessary.

 Product Description

Two-sensor Muting System

Muting Sequence Description

In a correct signal sequence, the muting function is initialized when the two following conditions are
fullfiled:
 The two muting sensors are activated within a maximum time interval of 4 seconds.
 The muting enabling command is active (terminal 11 at 24 Vdc).

The muting function ends when at least one of the following conditions is reached:
 At least one of the muting sensors is inactivated.
 The muting time-out limit is reached (30 seconds). In this case, the OSSDs switch to OFF state.

WARNING
IMPROPER SETUP OR INSTALLATION
Position the muting sensors in such a way that personnel cannot activate the sensors in a
sequence which permits them to pass through the safety light curtain protection field undetected.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

The following illustration presents a conveyor belt muting system using a two-sensors
configuration.

S1-S2 Muting sensors

R Receiver of the safety light curtain
T Transmitter of the safety light curtain
d Distance between the safety light curtain beam and the muting sensors crossing point.

The installation must respect: d < 200 mm (7.87 in).

The crossing point of the two light beams S1 and S2 must be located behind the detection zone of
the safety light curtain in direction of the hazardous zone.
The distance d should be shorter than 200 mm (7.87 in) to avoid personnel entering the hazardous
zone without been detected.

D Path width to the hazardous zone as the muting sequence starts.
1 Possible ways of intrusion while the pallet is crossing the muting area

The installation must respect: D < 200 mm (7.87 in).

D depends on the position of the muting sensors S1 and S2 and the location of the fences or
physical barriers.
In this example, if we consider D > 200 mm (7.87 in), there are possible ways of intrusion (1) while
the muting function is triggered. Personnel can thus access the hazardous zone without stopping
the machine.
NOTE: Refer to IEC TS 62046 for more muting operation details.

Muting Sequence
The following timing diagrams show the correct signal sequence.
The following timing diagram shows a sequence when the object passes the safety light curtain
without stopping the machine:

22 EAV7501201 04/2015
 Product Description

The following timing diagram shows a sequence when the object is stopped and always detected
by the muting sensors and the safety light curtain. After the muting time-out, the muting function
stops and the module stops the machine

NOTE: The terminal 11 commands the muting function. It should be generated at the appropriate
time by the machine control system (e.g.When the muting function is needed). It has no effect on
the deactivation of the muting function. If the enabling command is not used (Muting function
permanently enable), fix the terminal 11 at 24 Vdc.
Muting is a temporary automatic suspension of the safety function. The time limit is always
mandatory. If the time-out limit of 30 seconds is too short for a particular machine cycle, the
configuration without time monitoring (t = infinite) can be selected. In this case, alternative solutions
or additional measures should be implemented to detect the condition of a muting function
permanently active caused by accumulation of detected faults or by the muting sensors activated
permanently.
For example, for the application of guarding the openings of a conveyor system (palletizer) by
monitoring appropriate signals generated by the transport system to determinate if and when a
pallet is in the detection zone.

Product Description

Muting Override Allowed Function

Overview
The override allowed feature provides a mean for supervisory personnel to momentarily override
the machine stop signal of the safety light curtain with XPSLCMUT1160. This feature is for use
when the machine stops due to incorrect muting activation sequences and with the detection zone
obstructed.
In this case, the safety light curtain safety outputs (OSSDs) are in the OFF state and/or a minimum
of one muting sensor is active.
The system then enters the override allowed state (Override request) and the muting LED is
blinking (see page 35).
When the override request is active, the OSSDs are activated. It is then possible to remove any
material obstructing the protected zone.

Override Modes Configuration

Two modes are selectable according to the wiring below:
 Override with maintained action control
 Override with pulse control

Override with maintained action control:

Type of override control Terminal 7 Terminal 8 OPERATION

Maintained action (Spring return key) 24 Vdc 24 Vdc Override request
Not Not Override not requested
Connected Connected
(0 Vdc) (0 Vdc)

In this example, the override is activated by a key selector switch with spring return driving
terminal 7 and terminal 8 to 24 Vdc. (maximum delay for both state changes = 400 ms)

24 EAV7501201 04/2015
 Product Description

The override is interrupted by one of the following causes:

 The key selector is released.
 The maximum override duration of 15 minutes is elapsed.
 The detection zone is cleared and the muting sensors are inactivated again

When the override is interrupted, the OSSDs outputs switch OFF as well as the muting lamp and
the system goes back to normal operation. (Allowing a new override command);

Override with pulse control:

Type of override control Terminal 7 Terminal 8 OPERATION

Pulsed action (Push button) 24 Vdc Not Connected Override request
(0 Vdc)
Not Connected 24 Vdc Override not requested
(0 Vdc)

In this example, the override is activated by a push-button return switching terminal 7 to 24 Vdc
and terminal 8 to 0 Vdc. (maximum delay for both state changes = 400 ms).
Terminal 7 and terminal 8 are not monitored during the override.
The maximum override duration is 15 minutes (repeatable)
The override can only be restarted by a new pressure on the push button only if:
 The total override time after ’n’ successive commands does not exceed 60 minutes (Timer 1)
 The number of successive commands does not exceed 30. (Counter 1)

Timer 1 and counter 1 are reset when a correct muting sequence occurs or in case of power
OFF/power ON system reset.
The override ends when the detection zone is cleared, the muting sensors are inactivated again
and the safety light curtain is operational. (No need of any other command).

EAV7501201 04/2015 25
Product Description

WARNING
IMPROPER INSTALLATION
During the module installation, the operator must ensure to avoid short circuit between contacts
7 and 8.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

DANGER
HAZADOUS SITUATION
The override with pulse command automatically activates the outputs of the light curtain until both
of the safety light curtain and the muting sensors are free of obstacle again. During this period,
the safety light curtain is unable to protect access to the guarded opening. Therefore, all
operations must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

26 EAV7501201 04/2015
 Product Description

Operating Modes Description

Automatic or Manual Start/Restart Modes

XPSLCMUT1160 allows automatic or manual Start/Restart mode according to the wiring
configuration below.

Operating modes selection

Terminal 6 Terminal 15 Operation
0 Vdc 24 Vdc Automatic Start
24 Vdc 24 Vdc through a NO contact Manual Start/Restart
0 Vdc 0 Vdc Forbidden
24 Vdc 24 Vdc

In automatic mode, when the safety light curtain system senses an object entering the detection
zone, the machine changes from Run state to Stop state and remains in the Stop state until the
obstruction is removed. Once the detection zone is clear, the safety light curtain system
automatically changes from Stop state to Run state.
In manual Start/Restart mode, to enter the Run state, the detection zone of the safety light curtain
system must be clear, and the operator must press the Start button.

WARNING
IMPROPER SETUP
It is mandatory to use manual mode (Start/Restart interlock activated) in case in which the safety-
related device controls an access protecting a hazardous zone and once an operator has passed
through the opening and may remain in the hazardous zone without being detected (Use as trip
device according to IEC 61496).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

EAV7501201 04/2015 27
Product Description

NOTICE
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
The Start/Restart command is effective after the operator has pressed the start button, meaning
a transition sequence 0 Vdc →24 Vdc on the start command.
The duration of the start command must be at least 100 ms.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

NOTICE
IMPROPER AUTOMATIC START UTILIZATION
The manual Start/Restart is required in most safety applications. If you use the automatic start
function, check that this automatic start mode is compatible with the safety level assessed in the
application risk analysis.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Manual Start/Restart mode is mandatory:
 If the safety device controls an aperture to protect a hazardous zone.
 If the safety -related device is used as a “trip device” (according to IEC 61496).

The Restart command must be installed outside the hazardous zone in such way that the whole
working and hazardous zone are observable. It must not be possible to access the Start/Restart
command inside the hazardous zone.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

CAUTION
CONFIGURATION SYSTEM
Check correct functioning of the entire safety system (module + light curtain) following each
reinstallation. Especially, if the original operating mode was manual, ensure that the module has
been reconfigurated in this mode.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

 Product Description

External Device Monitoring (EDM)

Overview
EDM monitoring is an important safety function.
The EDM monitors the safety light curtain system interface to the guarded machine to:
 Confirm that the external devices driven by the OSSDs (switching devices, such as contactors,
relays) are responding correctly to the safety light curtain system.
 Detect any inconsistency between the two external devices (i.e. control relays) which prevents
a stop signal from reaching the machine primary control elements (for example, power
contactors or electrovalve relays).
The EDM controls the external contactors K1/K2. To achieve this, normally closed contacts of the
external contactors (connected in series) are monitored. The control of the correct switching of K1
and K2 is performed 300 ms after the real command of the OSSDs.
To perform this function, the contactors K1/K2 must have:
 Normally closed mirror contact, according to IEC 60947-4-1 (Annex F) for power contactors.
 Linked contacts (or force-guided contacts), according to IEC 60947-5-1 (Annex L) or EN 50205
for auxiliary contactors or control relays.

Characteristics of the Output Circuit

The power supply must meet the requirements of IEC 60204-1 and IEC 61496-1. The SELV
Schneider Electric part number ABL8RPS24••• is recommended. For more information, refer to
power supply (see page 51).
For the output circuit, the XPSLCMUT1160 uses two guided contact safety relays.
These relays are rated by the manufacturer for voltage and current values above those indicated
in the technical data. However, to assure correct insulation and to avoid damage or premature
ageing, protect each output line with a 4 A slow-blow fuse and check that load characteristics
comply with the indications given in the table below.

Characteristic Description Value

Voltage Minimum switching voltage 18 Vdc
Maximum switching voltage 250 Vac
Current Minimum switching current 20 mA
Maximum switching current 2A

Minimum switching ratings of outputs: The device is capable to switch the low voltage loads
(minimum 18 Vdc / 20 mA) provided that the contact has never been used with higher loads.

Warnings Regarding the Connection Cables

For connections of more than 50 m (164 ft) between light curtain and XPSLCMUT1160, cables with
a cross-section of at least 1 mm2 must be used.
It is good practice to separate the power supply of the XPSLCMUT1160 from that of other electrical
appliances (electrical motors, inverters, frequency variators) or other sources of disturbance.
The path of the connection cables between the control unit and the sensors, the connection
referring to the test command and feedback contacts connected to terminal 20 must be different
from that of other power cables.

A
ANSI
American National Standards Institute. The administrator and coordinator of the U.S. private sector
standardization system.

B
B10
B10 is number of operations (number of the operating cycles for the relay outputs) at which 10%
of the population have failed.
B10d is the expected time at which 10% of the population will have failed in a “dangerous” mode.
Without specific knowledge of which mode in which a component is being used, and hence what
constitutes a dangerous failure, it can generally be assumed that 50% of failures are dangerous,
therefore B10d = 2 x B10.

C
Control-reliable
The device, system, or interface shall be designed, constructed, and installed such that a single
component failure within the device, interface, or system shall not prevent normal stopping action
from taking place, but shall prevent a successive machine cycle (ANSI B11.191).

D
Detection zone
The zone within which a specified test piece is detected by the safety light curtain system.

E
EDM/MPCE (External Device Monitoring/Machine Primary Control Element Monitoring)
A means by which the light curtain monitors the state of external control devices.
ESPE
Electro-sensitive protective equipment.

O
OFF state
The state in which the output circuit is interrupted (open) and does not allow current to flow.
ON state
The state in which the output circuit is complete (closed) and allows the flow of current.
OSHA
Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This is a U.S. government agency.
Output Safety Switching Device (OSSD)
The component of the safety light curtain connected to the machine control system which, when
the light curtain detection zone is interrupted, responds by going to OFF state. This is also known
as a safety output.

R
Response time
Time taken by the protective device to transmit the signal to stop the main engine.

S
Safety Integrated Level (SIL)
The failure mode evaluation based on the risk assessment in accordance with IEC 61508.
Estimation of the required SIL is performed for each safety-related control function (SRCF) and is
divided into parameters for the determination of the safety integrity requirements, which is
assigned to a safety integrity level. Level 3 is the highest and Level 1 the lowest level.
Safety Integrated Level Claim Limit (SILCL)
Maximum SIL that can be claimed for safety function of any subsystem.
The failure mode evaluation based on the risk assessment in accordance with IEC 62061.
Estimation of the required SILCL is performed for each safety-related control function (SRCF) and
the external technical device (for example, additional control device) is taken into account.
