JSR1T Expansion Relay

More Outputs
By connecting expansion relays to a safety relay it is easy to increase the number of safe outputs. This means that an unlimited number of dangerous machine operations and functions can be stopped from one safety relay.
Safe Soft Stop
When a gate is opened a program stop is first given to the machine's PLC/servo which brakes the dangerous operations in a soft and controlled way. The safety outputs then break the power to the motors, that is, when the machine has already stopped. Normally between 0.5 and 1 second is needed to brake a dangerous machine operation softly. Soft stop ensures many advantages:
- The machine lasts longer.
- Parts being processed are not damaged.
- Restart from stopped position is enabled and simplified.
A safe soft stop is achieved by means of a safety relay which gives the program stop, and an expansion relay, JSR1T, which gives safe delayed stop signals. See page of "Connection examples". The drop time delay on a JSR1T can as standard be selected, from 0 to 10 seconds. By connecting several JSR1Ts in series even longer times can be achieved.
Safety Level
The JSR1T has twin stop functions, that is, two relays with mechanically operated contacts. A monitored stop function is achieved by connecting the test output (terminals X1 and X2) to the test or reset input on the safety relay which is being expanded.
One condition for a safe delayed stop is that the delay time cannot increase in the event of a fault. The JSR1T complies with this requirement.

When are delayed safe stops used?
Delayed safety stop signals can be used for emergency stops according to EN418 § 4.1.5. Stop category 1, i.e. a controlled stop with power to the actuator(s) available to achieve the stop and then removal of power when stop is achieved.
Stop category 1 may also be permitted when it is not possible to gain physical access to the machine before the safe stop is affected e.g:
- Gates, access time is normally over 1 sec.
- Covers and gates which are locked until dangerous operations and functions have been stopped.
- Long distances between a safety device and a dangerous machine function.
