Introduction
|
The E-Stop and interlock circuits on Universal‘s products are designed to ensure that axis operation can occur only when these safety circuits are satisfied. The E-Stop and Interlock safety circuit is hard-wired and will perform its function independent of machine software. In this lesson, you will look at the E-Stop and Interlock safety circuit in detail. Once you understand how it works you will get some practical experiences in troubleshooting this circuit. |

Introduction
|
This activity is intended to give you some practical experiences in troubleshooting the E-Stop and Interlock Circuits on a machine. In this activity your instructor will put one or more bugs in the machine E-Stop and Interlock circuits. Your job is to find and fix the bugs so that the machine is returned to normal operation. |
CAUTION!
|
*An E-Stop or circuit breaker can often be used to remove assembly power. |

Trace signals in the electrical schematics to answer the following questions.
5FU-Side (SHT2) This question refers to the drawings for PS1, trace it from the secondary side of 2T (24V SEC) and is tied in with 5FU (sheet 2)
56VDC is supplied to 4TB Connects 56 VDC from secondary of 1T to 4TB distribution point to X-Y table motors.
the “ELECT DIAG, Power chassis” schematic Ask students: You lost 24VAC, where it’s generated from? (the inserter’s power chassis, PS1.) Where do you find that drawing? ELEC DIAG, Power Chassis. |

Instructor notes: the following table lists suggested bugs to simulate an E-stop and Interlock circuit problem. |
Problem |
Simulation Method |
![]() |
Remove 7FU, 4FU, or 5FU |
21CR can’t be energized | Disconnect X1 and X2 |
Relay problem | Disconnect at contact 21 or 22 of 22CR and 23CR (Interlock system will not enable) |
Cannot get out of interlock condition | Remove 6PL jumper plug at the back of PS1 |
Cannot get out interlock condition | Remove wire T12 from 21CR relay block |
No air to cylinders | Disconnect dump valve connector |
