Why should you use the Tina adapter units?
— to adapt safety sensors to the dynamic single channel
circuit according to PL e!
The Tina devices adapt safety sensors with mechanical
positive forced disconnecting contacts, such as emergency
stops, switches and light grids/curtains with dual outputs to
the dynamic safety circuit in Vital and Pluto. This means Pluto
complies with EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 3 in EN 62061 and
EN 61508 for the connected safety sensors with the Vital/
Pluto controller. Note that ABB JokabSafety's dynamic safety
sensors, such as Eden and Spot can be connected directly to
the Vital/Pluto circuit without intermediate Tina devices.
— for bypassing of safety sensor in a dynamic circuit!
The Tina 5A bypass unit is used for bypassing of safety
sensor in a dynamic circuit and provides the possibility for
supervision of bypass lamp indication. During bypassing of
safety devices e.g. a light grid or an interlocked gate switch/
sensor, it must only be possible to allow the bypass function if
a lamp indication is given. The lamp indication must therefore
be supervised. With this system it is possible to bypass one
or more safety sensor at the same time.
— as a connection block for simplified connection to a
dynamic circuit!
The Tina 4A/8A connection blocks are available with 4 or
8 M12 connections. They are used to enable several safe-
ty sensor having M12 connection terminated cables to be
connected together. The blocks are connected with a suitable
multi-core cable, that contains status information from each
safety component, to the control cabinet. This enables simp-
lified wiring. The connection block contains electronic circuits
which modify the coded dynamic signal in the safety circuit.
Note Several connection blocks can be connected to one
Vital/Pluto. Using Tina 4A/8A connection blocks eliminates
connection faults and can significantly reduce system cable
costs.
