As the name suggests, the latest Limax Compact (LimaxCP) series by ELGO is a new generation of safety sensors that detect absolute shaft position and speed and offer additional safety functions in a more compact casing.
The Limax1CP Safety Sensor
The Limax1CP is the smallest sensor in this series. Its features include door bridging and safety circuit outputs as well as the following:
- Smallest dimensions: L x W x H = 254x74x38 mm
- Door monitoring
- Retraction with doors opening
- Readjustment with open doors
- UCM (via opening of the safety circuit)
- Shaft end
- Pre-disconnection in case of overspeed
- Optional delay at shaft end
- Casing protection concept up to IP53
This sensor is particularly suitable for tight shafts, as no other modules are required and the inputs and outputs may be connected directly to the sensor.
Another innovation is the fully electronic disconnection up to 250Vac without relay technology, which reduces dimensions further and made it possible to increase the robustness of the sensor at the same time. Resistant towards shocks and vibrations, it may be installed at a safety circuit voltage of 250Vac for an operating height of up to 2,000m above sea level (up to 4,000m above sea level with a reduced safety circuit voltage of 110Vac).
Safety Features
The safety functions of the Limax33CP, currently in series production, have been fully integrated into the design of the new Limax2CP, making the design of the new Limax2CP and Limax3CP significantly smaller than that of the Limax33CP (LxWxH 354x136x54 mm vs. Limax2CP/3CP mit LxWxH 374.5x120x40 mm). Compared to the Limax1CP, the Limax2CP has additional safety features such as:
- Triggering of an electrically operated safety gear, including reading function (e.g. of an engaged bolt or similar)
- Pre-disconnection in case of overspeed
- Test functions for safety brake and ETSL without the need for bridges
- Range of UCM functions
- Separate inspection function of shortened shaft head/pit
- Prevention of safety brake being triggered during inspection mode, even if the car is positioned in the reduced protection area
- Integrated casing protection concept for IP54 and IP65
- Automated test for unintentional door bridging in the door circuit
