Tina Sensor Monitoring Adapter Units

Adapt/Monitor Safety Components to a Dynamic Single-Channel Circuit according to Safety Category 4

Tina units allow safety components with mechanical contacts, such as E-stops, switches and light curtains/grids with dual outputs to be connected into Vital or Pluto dynamic safety circuits. This enables safety category 4 to be achieved (according to EN 954-1) for the connected safety components together with the Vital/Pluto control unit.

Note: JOKAB SAFETY’S Eden and Spot components can be directly connected to the Vital/Pluto dynamic circuit without using a Tina adapter unit.

Bypassing of Safety Components in a Dynamic Circuit

The Tina 5A bypass unit is used for bypassing of safety components in a dynamic circuit and provides the possibility for supervision of bypass lamp indication. During bypassing of safety devices (e.g.a light rid or an interlocked gate switch/sensor) it must only be possible to allow the bypass function if a lamp indication is given. The lamp indication must therefore be supervised. With this system it is possible to bypass one or more safety components at the same time.

Vital is a small, 22.5 mm in width, electronic safety module that dynamically supervies a number of safety components. Vital's detachable connector blocks simplifies connection, trouble-shooting and exchange of module. The Vital and other safety components can be connected together using standard cables and with cables having M12 connections.
