Access Level Concept

The unit controls use an access level concept for access to data areas and the special operating mode (setup). Access levels 1, 4, 6 and 7 have been declared for the access level concept on this system.

Electronic Key

These access levels are enabled by the Electronic Key System (EKS) in the machine control panel and the corresponding electronic keys. The colour-coded keys contain the access codes for the entitled group of persons concerned.

When the machine is installed locally, the owner can have access to the special operating mode (setup) managed, e.g. by assignment to access levels 1, 4 and 6. These three access levels require a EKS key, whereas access level 7 does not. In the case of the latter, only normal operating mode (automatic) would be selectable.

Electronic Key System

The Electronic Key System comprises two components:

  • The key holder
  • The electronic key

The data carrier in the electronic key is fitted with a combined write/ read and fixed code memory area:

  • 116 bytes E PROM (programmed access level)
  • 8 bytes ROM (serial number)

The key holder is a write/read system with integrated evaluation electronics and interface.

For operation, the electronic key is inserted into the key holder and held in place by a spring clamp. The power for the transponder and the data is transmitted without physical contact between the key holder and the electronic key.

Electronic Key Manager

The key is managed for various access levels by the "Electronic Key Manager (EKM)" software at a separate PC workstation.

Disabled Collision Monitoring

Main menus with switch on/switch off collision monitoring, e.g. individual functions, are exposed to a higher risk. Particular care and a rigid procedure are required when working with these functions.

Therefore, the machine display and selection windows have been removed from the general protection stage concept (see "Operating in special situations" Chapter).

When the machine is being installed on-site, the operator can arrange to have a special protection stage set up for this sensitive function, which only allows collision monitoring to be switched off under certain conditions.

If you have to switch off collision monitoring for your particular task, let your supervisor know so that access to the function can be authorised. Ensure that on completion of the task, the access right to the machine is reset to its basic status.
