How to use the RadiCentre® safety interlock system in RadiMation®[edit]
 |
Warning: | This page is a draft |
This application note describes how RadiMation® can be configured to make optimal use of the safety interlock system that is available on the RadiCentre®.
Hardware setup[edit]
The RF switch card in the RadiCentre has an interlock input which must be connected to all safety switches (doors etc). Typically the "A" relay is switched to NC when the interlock is not closed. In case that the interlock is not closed, RadiMation® will not start a test and the lasers will be switched off.
Schematic overview of interlock relay[edit]
In this scheme we can see that we are using 7A, 7 for the 7th hardware slot in RadiMation® and A for the relay.
Picture backside RadiCentre:
Configure RadiMation[edit]
In this example we are going to configure a RSW1024S switch card.
Open RadiMation® Open the menu:
-
Test-sites
- Configure...
-
-
At test equipment select the applicable test-site. Right click switch matrix and select the driver used for switching the interlock. In this example we use "RSW1024S - Interlock" to switch the "A" relay.
Driver configuration[edit]
After adding the driver to the testsite we are going to configure the switches.
- Double click the driver to configure it
- Select Advanced
- Select the tab Switches
- Configure on the “During” tab relay A to “Normally open”
- Configure on the “After” tab, Relay A to “Normally closed”
