5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures For guidance in connection with risk reduction by design, see !4.1 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003" and in addition: 5.1 Controls 5.1.1 Safety and reliability of control systems For the purpose of this European Standard a safety related control system is one from and including the initial manual control or position detector to the point of input to the final actuator or element e.g. motor. The safety related parts (see !EN ISO 13849-1:2008") of the control systems of this machine are those for:  starting (see 5.1.3);  normal stopping (see 5.1.4);  emergency stopping (see 5.1.5);  interlocking (see 5.1.3, 5.2.7.4, 5.2.7.4.2, 5.2.7.6);  interlocking with guard locking (see 5.2.7.3, 5.2.7.4, 5.2.7.6);  clamping (see 5.2.8);  braking system (see 5.2.4);  two hand control (see 5.2.7.2);  the interlocking of the positioning of the workpiece or of the integrated feed of the saw unit (see 5.1.3);  pressure sensitive mats (see 5.2.7.4);  active opto-electronic protective devices (see 5.2.7.4);  mechanically actuated trip device (trip bar) (see 5.2.7.4). These control systems shall, as a minimum, be designed and constructed using “well tried components and principles”. SIST EN 1870-3:2002+A1:2009

EN 1088:1995; e) interlocking devices with guard locking if they have, as a minimum, unconditional unlocking in accordance with the requirements of Table 1 and Annex N of EN 1088:1995; f) pneumatic components and systems if they comply with the requirements of EN 983:1996; g) two-hand controls if they are as minimum type IIIB in accordance with the requirements of
EN 574:1996; h) pressure sensitive mats if they are as minimum in accordance with type 2 of EN 1760-1:1997 and if they are tested together with their associated control circuits at least at each starting of the machine; i) active opto-electronic protective devices if they comply as minimum with type 2 of
!CLC/TS 61496-2" and if they are tested together with the associated control circuits at least at each starting of the machine; j) trip bars if they are as minimum in accordance with type 2 of EN 1760-2:2000 and if they are tested together with their associated control circuits at least at each starting of the machine. Time delay devices used in hardwired safety related control circuits may be of category B in accordance with !EN ISO 13849-1:2008" if the time delay device is designed for at least one million actuations. Verification: By checking relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection of the machine !deleted text". !NOTE For electrical components characteristics the information from the electrical component supplier can be useful." SIST EN 1870-3:2002+A1:2009

EN 60204-1:2006" does not apply. When actuated the emergency stop shall disconnect power from all machine actuators and actuate the brake (if provided). When initiated the stopping sequence shall be: a) initiate the return stroke of the saw unit; b) remove power to workpiece clamping; c) cut power to saw spindle motor and initiate the brake (where fitted); d) when braking sequence is complete, cut power to brake (if electrical brake is fitted). The stopping sequence shall be satisfied at the level of the control circuits. If a time delay device is used, time delay shall be at least the maximum run-down time. Either the time delay shall be fixed, or, the time delay adjustment device shall be sealed. Verification: by checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection and relevant functional testing of the machine. 5.1.6 Integrated feed See !5.1.3". SIST EN 1870-3:2002+A1:2009
