For communication between PSENvip and the safety system, please 
note the following information in this manual:
 Information on the inputs and outputs used for communication and 
information on the communication sequence: Section entitled "Com-
munication with the safety system", under "Function Description"
 Safety guidelines on tool shapes, under "Safety"
 Information on tool detection, in the section entitled "Adjustment dur-
ing tool change", under "Commissioning" 
The user program in the safety system must support communication 
with the PSENvip, if tools of tool class 2 or 3 are used. The user program 
does not need to support this communication if tools of tool class 1 are 
used exclusively.
Communication only occurs in the system status TEST. This status is 
adopted
 After power-up.
 After a tool change.
 After a 0/1 pulse edge at the input System-Init.
 Periodically every 2 minutes.
The PSENvip starts communication via a 0/1 pulse edge at the Activate 
output (X1, 6).
The various tool classes have the following requirements of the user pro-
gram:
Tool class 1
 The user program confirms tool class 1. The PSENvip switches to a 
RUN state.
 The PSENvip switches to a HOLD state if
– The tool class sent by the PSENvip and reflected by the user pro-
gram do not match.
– Errors occur in the communication protocol.
– Overall communication takes longer than 600 ms.
– A single communication phase takes longer than 200 ms (see 
Chapter 4-4, section entitled "Communication sequence").
 Note:
The PSENvip switches to a RUN state if the user program fails to re-
act to the communication request via the PSENvip once a timeout of 
200 ms has elapsed.
As a result, tools of tool class 1 can also be used with user programs 
that do not support communication.
