Why should I use Tina adapter units?

Tina is available in several versions depending on the type of safety component that is connected to the Vital or Pluto circuit. Also available is a bypassing unit, three connector blocks with 2, 4 or 8 M12 connectors, and a blind plug for unused connections. As an accessory there is a Y-connector for series or parallel connection and even for connection of light beams with separate transmitter and receiver.

...to adapt 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 and 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/EN ISO 13849-1 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.
Features
- Safety circuit, category 4 according to EN 954-1/EN ISO 13849-1
- Individual status indication of every connected unit in the safety circuit
- Supervision of lamp indicating bypassing of safety device
- Quick release M12 connector
- Tina 2A/B, Tina 3A and Tina 7A are used to connect safety components with mechanical contacts, such as emergency stops, switches and light curtains or light beams with relay outputs.
Note: In order to maintain safety category 4 and to reduce the risk of electrical interference, Tina 2A, 3A and 7A units must be installed within the same physical encapsulation as the safety component that is to be monitored, and this is to be connected to the Tina unit with as short a cable as possible.
Tina 10A/B/C units are used for connection of Focus light beams/curtains to Vital or Pluto. Tina 10B has an extra M12 connector that enables reset, a reset lamp and switching of the Focus supply voltage. The Tina 10C has an additional M12 connector that permits a Focus transmitter to receive power.
- Tina 6A is used to connect door sensitive edges and safety mats, and provides an indication for each unit (Tina 7A may also be used). If a Tina 6A is connected close to the edge or mat, the risk of electrical interference is reduced.
- Tina 4A, Tina 8A, Tina 11A and Tina 12A are used as terminal blocks and simplify connection to a Vital safety circuit. Each safety component is connected to the terminal block via an M12 connection. A terminal block is connected to the apparatus enclosure by means of a cable that also contains status information from each safety component that is connected to Tina 4A/Tina 8A and summed information from Tina 11A/Tina 12A. There is also a Tina 8B Profibus, whereby the information signals go to a Profibus connector. Tina 1A must be used to terminate any open, unused ports.
- Tina 5A is used as a bypass for safety components in a Vital safety circuit and for monitoring lamp indications in the case of a bypass.
...for 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 grid 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.
...as a connection block for connection to a dynamic circuit!
The Tina 4A/8A connection blocks are available with4 or 8 M12 connections. They are used to enableseveral safety components—having M12 connectionterminated cables—to be connected together. Theblocks are connected with a suitable multi-core cable,that contains status information from each safety component, to the control cabinet. This enables simplified wiring. The connection block contains electronic circuits which modify the coded dynamic signal in the safety circuit.
Note: Several connection blocks can be connected to one Vital/Pluto, eliminating connection faults and can significantly reduce system cable costs.
