The machine driver is warned before the onset of an overload status via visual and audible warning signals.
The RCL comprises:
qSCALE S6 maestro central control unit
vSCALE D2 / D3 maestro console
various sensors for detection of machine status and environmental conditions
The vSCALE D2 / D3 maestro console is used for:
programming and inputting operating parameters
displaying the current machine operating data
NOTE
This user manual contains information about the vSCALE D2 / D3 maestro console,
mode selection, operation, sensor calibration and maintenance.
WARNING
Although the system incorporates functions for monitoring adjustable geometrical limit values
with visual and audible warnings and a relay output in the event of limit values being exceeded,
the system cannot be used as an operational limit switch.
The machine driver is responsible for the safe operation of the machine.
