B10d: Beware of being trapped
3
1. Informations
For dry contact safety components, the average time of dangerous failure (MTTFd)
depends on the nature of the load being switched. Software can be used as an aid in
the development of the safety le. Under no circumstances does this software permit the
publication of the said le; instead, they should be considered more like "ISO 13849-1
calculators."
Be aware of the B10d value, which must be listed with the corresponding load. In most
cases, the manufacturers give a B10d for a low current, such as 10 mA; this is the case
for the reed switch, for example. In reality, this current is much higher. If the value of the
B10d is very high for 10 mA, it will be much lower at 100 mA and far too low at 1 A. In this
case, the MTTFd value will drop signicantly and the performance level of the installation
will be compromised. The results published by some software program should therefore
be taken lightly!
1.1 "Reed contact" technology
The usual notation is B10d at 20% of the rated current (In). If In = 50 mA, then B10d is
rated at 10 mA. This means that it is not possible to switch more than 10 mA with this
component. Some software will require the correction of this parameter.
Before choosing a component, check that the nature of the load to be switched corres-
ponds to 20% of In.
1.2 ACOTOM technology
The dry contacts of component X5 have an 8 A breaking capacity limited to 1/4 of its value
to avoid any risk of sticking by carbonization. The value of the B10d is clearly displayed
at 2 A with 2,000,000 cycles, which makes it possible to directly control power contactors.

Notes: The sensor equipped with the process ACOTOM3is the only one that can be embedded in the
door and in the frame, even if the material is stainless steel or aluminum. This makes the sensor totally
invisible. Several forms of boxes are available, including an INOX M30 IP 69K version.
The sensor with the process ACOTOM which is the only one that has a magnetic hold up to 4 Kg: this
is the BOSTER.
Since 2006, some of our sensors have a screw cover for invisible mounting and additional protection.

3. The ACOTOM process
3.1. The birth of a revolutionary technology
We put the rst contactless encoded security sensor with a revolutionary process on the market in 1993.
It uses a double-coded magnetic eld and a diagnostic output, independent of the safety contacts, which
traces the product's position. Today, this device is still leading thanks to many benets that remain
unmatched to date; it is called the "ACOTOM process3".
3.2. Principle of the ACOTOM process3
The system consists of:
- Two inviolable and independently coded ma-
gnetic eld detectors (redundancy)
- A hysteresis control circuit at 2 mm
- A circuit that guarantees a distance of less
than 14 mm, for the prevention of the passage
of the ngers
- An automatic periodic safety check
- Protection of the safety contacts at 1/4 of their
breaking capacity to avoid any sticking
- A LED which indicates that the decoding is
done, without any anomaly
- A diagnostic output that indicates an error or
that the door is not in the closed position
- Serialization up to 65 sensors without loss of
performance level
- Direct control of dangerous movement without
using an intermediate safety box, with PL d and
SIL 2.

Miscellaneous information
Safety sensors and RFID technology
1. RFID technology
1.1. Why ?
The RFID in the safety sensors is of interest if you need to have a di󰀨erent code for each guard, on each
machine, and, in particular, for the sensors placed on the outside of the machines, or thus accessible.
According to ISO 14119, RFID coding must be classied as "high". Pay close attention because some
RFID security sensors have a "low" coding level, when they are provided with a unique code*; this
makes no di󰀨erence in our "ACOTOM process3". The standard does not impose a particular solution;
it depends on the needs of the application, or remains at the customer's discretion.
*Note: this unique coding requires code management and generates an additional workload for the
maintenance and purchasing departments.
1.2 Disadvantages
• RFID is a radio frequency technology and therefore the security component cannot be concealed
behind a metal wall or embedded in the equipment. They are exposed to the environment, which
limits their scope. For example, they cannot be used in the agri-food industry.
• Safety sensors with RFID are often associated with OSSD safety contacts. This principle causes a
delay in the safety (OFF position) which is most important. The impact on the design of the machine
is real, and it is necessary to make or redo an evaluation of the safety distance to check whether the
position of the access with respect to the dangerous movement should be modied.
• There are three types of components
- Those with a unique code: no interest
- Those whose code is xed by construction
- In the event one of the parts breaks, it is necessary to replace both parts
- Those whose code is re-writable thanks to a special RFID key
- In the event one of the parts breaks, we can replace that part only
1.3 Our RFID "AXKEF Process" Solution
• XORF-SA10 or SA12: a detection distance of 12 mm (nger protection)
• XORF-SA25: a detection distance of 25 mm
• Delivery of an RFID key for erasing the code, as well as tamper-proof screws (from May 2018) and
washers
• Automatic code programming (up to 16 million) through self-learning (AXKEF process): once instal-
led, just close the door and the code is transferred. Then, the recording is locked.
• Di󰀨erent code each time or unique code upon request
• XORF-SA2: autonomous component SIL 2/PL d, with OSSD 500 mA safety contact
