EGS®(H) 41 functions

• Overspeed switch

Two electrically isolated overspeed monitoring switches are available. Each switch can be programmed to monitor over and underspeeds together with the corresponding switchback speeds. The “direction dependent” switch setting feature makes it possible to store different switching speeds for each switching point according to the direction of rotation.

• Diagnostics

The diagnostics function automatically checks safety-function relevant hardware and software modules.

• Switch monitoring (Imin)

The switch monitoring function monitors the statuses of the switching contacts. A closed switch is recognised if a switching contact current > 5 mA flows. Current flow is monitored in both directions.

• Overcurrent recognition (Imax)

Each switching channel features integrated switch monitoring and overcurrent detection. Overcurrent detection responds to an overcurrent of 1.5 times the maximum current, no matter in which switching channel the overcurrent condition occurs. If an overcurrent condition occurs the device enters a safe state. The switch current is analysed and evaluated for both directions of current flow.
