E-stop rules

The e-stop works according to the rules below:

  • The first FlexCarrier controls the e-stop functions.

  • The first FlexCarrier must have address 1.

  • Place the FlexController in the first FlexCarrier.

  • An e-stop configuration plug must be inserted in each FlexCarrier. If not, the e-stop will not work.

  • The first FlexCarrier must have either an entry plug or an ASM plug.

  • If an e-stop entry plug is placed in another FlexCarrier than the first one the e-stop will not work.

  • If a control cable is missing in between FlexCarriers, the next FlexCarrier will not start.

  • If the control cables have swapped positions, parts of the system will not be started.

    Do not connect any daisy chained FlexCarriers to the controller input inter-com port on the first FlexCarrier.

  • In ASM mode the e-stop and reset buttons are only sensed and the safety PLC is controlling the system.

  • FlexCarriers in the daisy chain with higher address than 1 may be connected in any order.
