NSD Mat Controllers

 

System Overview
The NSD Safety Mat System safety relay controllers contain two independent control circuits which allow for shut down due to any single failure in one of the control circuits. The N.O. output circuit is controlled by two captive contact relays in series which are both monitored. If the contact in one relay should stick closed (i.e., contact weld), the other relay will shut down and the LED will indicate the fault; if the contact on the bad relay opens back up, you must reset the power to clear the fault. This relay contact monitoring provides a high degree of user safety.

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Circuit Description

A low voltage (24VAC or 24VDC) signal is sent out to the safety mat(s) through two wires. Two special optically-isolated diverse redundant circuits look at the signals coming back from the mat(s) detecting the presence of proper positive and negative voltage (AC) levels and output their signals to redundant missing pulse detectors. If the voltage coming back is too high or low, the missing pulse detectors will drop out and de-energize the relay circuit. If the voltage coming back is not AC (missing either positive or negative peaks), then the signal going to the missing pulse detector will disappear which will, in turn, drop out and de-energize the relay circuit.

Redundant relay position detectors watch for a relay contact stuck in the wrong position. The circuits will lock out the reset feature of the NSD control unit if a relay contact is closed when it should be open.

Each relay has its own driver circuit to complete the redundancy of the circuits.
