Safety Designer (MSD)
Mosaic Safety Designer (MSD) software is a user-friendly configuration tool which makes the programming the MOSAIC simple and safe. By selecting the functional icons programming by ‘Drag & Drop’ configures any of the many safety functions.
Thanks to an accurate functional test feature incorporated into the Mosaic Safety Designer (MSD) software, configuration errors are detected immediately.  This also assures configuration errors
cannot lead to an unsafe situation and valuable time is not lost during the commissioning of the
machine. In addition, a multi-level password manager in the Mosaic Safety Designer (MSD) gives further security against nonauthorized access to the configuration software.
The MCM is a memory card which can be used to save the configuration data for copying to a new MOSAIC safety controller when required.

The Janus M range of muting light barriers is a very unique product that has been designed specifically for protecting personnel in Material Handling Applications, such as Palletizing, Machine Conveying, Wrapping, Loading/Unloading, and Robotic applications. Anywhere muting is integral to the flow of material.

The Janus, with built-in muting control, dual safe static outputs, and optional built in muting sensors, can work without external control units having all the safety functions integrated inside the Emitter and the Receiver.  This complies harmoniously with the requirements of the Standard EN 61496-1, the International Standard IEC 61496-1-2 and CSA Z432-04 – Safeguarding of Machinery.

The benefits of the Janus M Series Light Curtains are:

• Extremely easy connection and installation, thanks to the M12, 5-pole (emitter) and M23 19-pole (receiver) standard connectors.
• Use of standard cables up to 100 m long.  No need for shielded cables.
• Settings of each function are integrally performed via the connector.  Patented solutions allow the installer to perform a wide range of user friendly configurable functions with only a few connector pins. No need for software or dip-switch settings on the light curtain for the configuration!  The end user can replace a product without the possibility of errors or the necessity of a skilled operator!
• Integration of the main safety functions, including self-monitoring of the safety circuits and, the external device monitoring (EDM) and the Start/Restart interlock functions.
• Long Range 40mm resolution version available with up to 60m (197’) sensing range

• Integration of the Muting function and of the Muting sensors (ML and MT models).  All Muting parameter settings (Muting timeout, override, etc.), via the receiver connector and/or the MJB connection boxes.

A traditional electromechanical relay consists of a set of contacts that open or close, depending on their arrangement and the coil voltage. A Riese safety relay’s contact design is mechanically interlocked. Mechanically interlocking the contacts enables the relay’s behavior to operate in a predetermined fashion and is achieved by either applying the mechanical interlock or force guiding the contact set.

The design using a mechanical bar interlinking all the contacts assures that all normally open (N/O or Form A) contacts don’t close if the normally closed (N/C or Form B) contacts don’t open. If the contacts of either the N/O or the N/C type are welded shut, the bar prevents the opposing contact type from operating. Therefore, when a relay contact fails to open, the opposing (or other) contacts don’t close enabling a monitored state of the relay.  This design is the heart of RIESE SAFETY RELAYS and provide detection of a single fault, redundancy in the contacts and monitoring of the safety devices. In addition, the N/C and N/O contact may not be closed simultaneously.

When experiencing a fault, a safety relay’s contacts go into an undefined state. In the event that a relay contact welds together or fails to open, fault tolerance is achieved by allowing all the possible contact sets to open to a gap larger than 0.5 millimeters. This is the minimum contact set for a safety relay consists of a Form A (N/O) and Form B (N/C) contact.

With automated machines and processes, hazardous motion is typically present posing potential danger. The goal of any safety circuit, is to provide protection  for the operator, the machine, and even the processes. The use of Riese Safety Relays with force guided, redundant, monitored circuit design results in reduced danger, control reliability, single fault tolerance and improved safety.

Installing safety devices such as guards and gates, light curtains, safety mats, pull cord switches, foot switches, two hand control devices etc….. Don’t in and of themselves create a safe machine.  It is the use of the Riese Safety Relay behind these devices that assure the output from any of these safety devices is correctly and reliably sent to the stopping control circuit.
