!EN 60204-1:2006", and in addition: 5.2.2 Safety and reliability of control systems For the purpose of this standard a safety related control system means the system controlling the extraction system from and including automatic blast gate(s) with detector(s) in the feeding system to the connected woodworking machine(s) if any are present, to the silo filling system including the final level switch in the silo. The safety related control systems of this machine are those for:  emergency stopping (see 5.2.3.4);  interlocking (see 5.3.7 and 5.4.1.7);  fire detection (see 5.4.1.5);  starting (see 5.2.3.2);  normal stopping (see 5.2.3.3);  sequence interlocking (see 5.2.3.2, 5.2.3.3 and 5.2.3.4);  indication of extraction vacuum (see 5.4.3.1.2);  return air monitoring (see 5.4.3.2.2);  detection of pressure difference in separators (5.4.3.1.2);  detection of the emptying system function;  detection of silo/container filling. The control systems for emergency stopping and for interlocking shall as minimum be Category 1 in accordance with the requirements of !EN ISO 13849-1:2008" and shall be “hardwired”. The other control systems can be equipped with an electronic system. Well-tried components and principles for the purpose of this standard are: a) electrical components if they comply with relevant standards including the following as: 1) EN 60947-5-1:2004 (Section 3) for control switches with positive opening operation used as mechanically actuated position detectors for interlocking of guards and for relays used in auxiliary circuits; 2) EN 60947-4-1:2001 for electromechanical contactors and motor starters used in main circuits; 3) HD 22.1 S4:2002 for rubber insulated cables; SIST EN 12779:2005+A1:2009

Electronic components alone do not satisfy the “well-tried" requirements; c) mechanical components if, for example, they operate in the positive mode in accordance with the description given in 4.5 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003; d) mechanically actuated position detectors for guards if they are actuated in positive mode and their arrangement/fastening and the cam design/mounting comply with the requirements of 5.2 and 5.3 of
EN 1088:1995; e) interlocking devices with guard locking if they satisfy the requirements described in 5.3.7; f) pneumatic and hydraulic components and systems if they comply with the requirements of
EN 983:1996 and EN 982:1996 respectively; g) detectors and indicators if they comply with the requirements of Category B of
!EN ISO 13849-1:2008"; h) time delay relays if they comply with the requirements of Category B of !EN ISO 13849-1:2008" and are designed for 1 million operations. The control systems including detectors, indicators and time delay relays (5.2.2 g) and 5.2.2 h)) shall as a minimum be of Category B in accordance with the requirements of !EN ISO 13849-1:2008". For the purpose of this standard Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are considered as Category B. Verification: By visual inspection of the extraction system and by checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams. !deleted text" !NOTE For components characteristics the information from the component supplier can be useful." 5.2.3 Position of and other requirements to controls 5.2.3.1 General All electrical controls shall be placed at a minimum height of 600 mm and a maximum height of 1 800 mm from the servicing level. (For the position of emergency stop controls see 5.2.3.4). Verification: By visual inspection and measurement on the extraction system. 5.2.3.2 Starting The starting conditions shall comply with the requirements in 9.2.5.2 of !EN 60204-1:2006" (also see 6.4.4). For extraction systems with an automatic emptying system, the starting sequence shall ensure that the emptying system is running prior to starting the extraction system. NOTE For example the transport system between a filter and silo shall run normally before the extraction system connected to the woodworking machine is started. After the emergency stop has been activated and reset, the extraction system shall perform a sequence that brings it to a point where a normal start up can be performed. SIST EN 12779:2005+A1:2009

!EN 60204-1:2006". Emergency stop devices shall meet the requirements of !EN ISO 13850" and 9.2.5.4 and 10.7 of
!EN 60204-1:2006" and shall be provided as follows: a) on the control panel where the normal electrical controls are situated; b) a maximum of 50 m from all electrically connected parts of the extraction system; c) a minimum of one emergency stop in each room with electrical parts or mechanical driven parts connected to the extraction system; d) be directly accessible from any frequently used moveable interlocked guard (see 5.3.7) and if necessary any other point of access. Examples of emergency stop location are shown in Figure 3. A recommendation that the extraction system is re-started, as soon as the emergency situation has been cleared, shall be included in the instruction handbook (see 6.4.4 and 5.2.3.2). Verification: By visual inspection, checking the relevant diagrams and functional testing on the extraction system.
Key 1 Electrical 2 Control panel Figure 3 — Examples of emergency stop control location 5.2.4 Mode selection If a mode selection switch is provided (e.g. for selecting between normal mode of operation and setting mode of operation for silo’s equipped with an automatic silo discharge system (see 5.4.1.7 m)) it shall be of the lockable type. 5.2.5 Speed changing Not relevant. 5.2.6 Failure of the power supply Automatic re-starting of the extraction system shall be prevented (see 7.5 paragraphs 1 and 3 of
!EN 60204-1:2006"). When actuating the start control after failure of the power supply, the extraction system shall, before entering the normal starting sequence, perform a sequence in accordance with the requirements of 5.2.3.2 that brings the system into a position where a normal start up can be performed. SIST EN 12779:2005+A1:2009

For the purpose of this standard frequent is more than once per week. Any moving component (e.g. fans and rotary valves) with a run down time greater than 10 s and guarded by an interlocking guard shall also have guard locking. Guards shall comply with the requirements of EN 953:1997 and the safety distances in
!EN ISO 13857:2008". Verification: By visual inspection of the extraction system, measurement and checking the relevant drawings. 5.3.8 Automation and mechanisation Not relevant. 5.3.9 Clamping devices Not relevant. 5.3.10 Multi-station machines Not relevant 5.3.11 Safety appliances Not relevant. 5.4 Protection against non-mechanical hazards 5.4.1 Fire and explosion 5.4.1.1 General Extraction systems shall be located and be constructed such that sources of ignition, fire and explosion are removed and risks caused by fire and explosion are minimised. Extraction systems connected to woodworking machines processing only wood shall be designed with a Kst value of 200 bar ms-1. If the extraction system is connected to woodworking machines processing wood combined with non-wood material (e.g. lacquer, laminate and aluminium) it is recommended to evaluate whether the Kst value is above 200 bar ms-1. If this is the case additional safety measures may be required (e.g. fire extinguishing devices, additional explosion relief, safety valves, added strength construction). Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and visual inspection of the extraction system. 5.4.1.2 Location of separator, fan and silo The separator, fan and wood waste accumulation system shall be located outdoors (outside the working areas) or in specially designed rooms/buildings. The separator, fan and silo shall be located in a safe or non-hazardous area. Verification: By visual inspection of the extraction system. SIST EN 12779:2005+A1:2009
