Tina 4A
Connection examples of safety sensors to Tina 8A
Safety controller,
Vital
Connection 1
One Eden is connected directly to the Tina 8A. The Eden
status is shown by an LED on the Adam sensor. A status
information signal is also connected to Tina 8A.
Connection 2
One Focus safety light grid is connected to the Tina 8A via a
Tina 10A. The output from the Tina 10A is via a M12 connec-
tor. The connection between Tina 10A and Tina 8A is achie-
ved using a cable with M12 connectors on each end.The Tina
10A has two LED’s which show the status of the light grid.
The same status information signal is connected to the Tina
8A. Tina10A and the Focus transmitter are connected, via an
M12-3B, to Tina8A.
Connection 3
A Spot 10 light beam is connected directly to Tina 8A. A ’Y’
connector M12-3B for M12 plugs is connected to the trans-
mitter and the receiver. The status information shown on the
Spot LED is also connected to Tina 8A.
Connection 4
A safety mat (same for safety strip and safety bumper) is
connected via a Tina 6 A to the Tina 8A. Two LEDs in Tina
6A shows the status of the mat. The same status information
signal is connected to Tina 8A.
Connection 5
One Smile is connected to the Tina 8A. The information
shown by an LED on the Smile is also connected to the termi-
nal block on the Tina 8A.
Connection 6
A safety interlock switch is connected via a Tina 3A mounted
directly on the switch. The output from the Tina 3A is via a
M12 connector. The connection between the Tina 3A and
the Tina 8A is therefore simply made with a cable with M12
connectors on each end. On the Tina 3A there is a LED which
shows the status of the switch. The same information signal is
connected to the Tina 8A.
Connection 7
A Spot 35, transmitter and receiver are connected directly to
the Tina 8A via a M12-3B ’Y’ connector. The status informa-
tion shown by the LED on the Spot is also connected to the
Tina 8A.
Connection 8
Tina 1A is a plug which has to be connected to Tina 8A
inputs when no sensor is required, in order to complete the
safety connection circuit.
NOTE! All input connectors on the Tina 8A must be
connected to sensors or have Tina 1A plugs fitted.
