1. Safety Instructions and Responsibility
1.1. General Safety Instructions
This operation manual is a significant component of the unit and includes important rules and hints
about the installation, function and usage. Non-observance can result in damage and/or
impairment of the functions to the unit or the machine or even in injury to persons using the
equipment!
Please read the following instructions carefully before operating the device and observe all safety
and warning instructions! Keep the manual for later use.
A pertinent qualification of the respective staff is a fundamental requirement in order to use these
manual. The unit must be installed, connected and put into operation by a qualified electrician.
Liability exclusion: The manufacturer is not liable for personal injury and/or damage to property
and for consequential damage, due to incorrect handling, installation and operation. Further claims,
due to errors in the operation manual as well as misinterpretations are excluded from liability.
In addition the manufacturer reserve the right to modify the hardware, software or operation
manual at any time and without prior notice. Therefore, there might be minor differences between
the unit and the descriptions in operation manual.
The raiser respectively positioner is exclusively responsible for the safety of the system and
equipment where the unit will be integrated.
During installation or maintenance all general and also all country- and application-specific safety
rules and standards must be observed.
If the device is used in processes, where a failure or faulty operation could damage the system or
injure persons, appropriate precautions to avoid such consequences must be taken.
1.2. Use according to the intended purpose
The unit is intended exclusively for use in industrial machines, constructions and systems. Non-
conforming usage does not correspond to the provisions and lies within the sole responsibility of
the user. The manufacturer is not liable for damages which has arisen through unsuitable and
improper use. Please note that device may only be installed in proper form and used in a
technically perfect condition - in accordance to the “Technical Specifications”). The device is not
suitable for operation in explosion-proof areas or areas which are excluded by the EN 61010-1
standard.

Bg230_04a_oi_e.doc / Juni-18 Page 5 / 27
1.3. Installation
The device is only allowed to be installed and operated within the permissible temperature range.
Please ensure an adequate ventilation and avoid all direct contact between the device and hot or
aggressive gases and liquids.
Before installation or maintenance, the unit must be disconnected from all voltage-sources. Further
it must be ensured that no danger can arise by touching the disconnected voltage-sources.
Devices which are supplied by AC-voltages, must be connected exclusively by switches,
respectively circuit-breakers with the low voltage network. The switch or circuit-breaker must be
placed as near as possible to the device and further indicated as separator.
Incoming as well as outgoing wires and wires for extra low voltages (ELV) must be separated from
dangerous electrical cables (SELV circuits) by using a double resp. increased isolation.
All selected wires and isolations must be conform to the provided voltage- and temperature-
ranges. Further all country- and application-specific standards, which are relevant for structure,
form and quality of the wires, must be ensured. Indications about the permissible wire cross-
sections for wiring are described in the “Technical Specifications” chapter.
Before first start-up it must be ensured that all connections and wires are firmly seated and
secured in the screw terminals. All (inclusively unused) terminals must be fastened by turning the
relevant screws clockwise up to the stop.
Overvoltages at the connections must be limited to values in accordance to the overvoltage
category II.
For placement, wiring, environmental conditions as well as shielding and earthing/grounding of the
supply lines the general standards of industrial automation industry and the specific shielding
instructions of the manufacturer are valid. Please find all respective hints and rules on „
www.motrona.com/download.html --> [General EMC Rules for Wiring, Screening and Earthing]”.
1.4. Cleaning, Maintenance and Service Notes
To clean the front of the unit please use only a slightly damp (not wet!), soft cloth. For the rear no
cleaning is necessary. For an unscheduled, individual cleaning of the rear the maintenance staff or
assembler is self-responsible.
During normal operation no maintenance is necessary. In case of unexpected problems, failures or
malfunctions the device must be shipped for back to the manufacturer for checking, adjustment or
reparation. Unauthorized opening and repairing can have negative effects or failures to the
protection-measures of the unit.

2.Functional Description
The optional BG230 unit serves as display- and programming-unit for motrona safety-relevant
devices. With its intuitive operation, the BG230 is quick, easy and flexible to handle.
The unit can be used via PC or directly connected with the safety unit. The BG230 offers a wide
range of functions and features (depending on the type of safety device and the DIL switch setting).
2.1. Applications on the safety device (DS230/DS240)
Plugged on a Motrona safety device (DS230/DS240), the function of the BG230 depends on the
setting DIL-switch of the safety device. There are three different device modes:
Normal operation "(see Chapter 5.1)
oTwo-channel frequency display
oIndividually scalable display for E. G. Speeds, production rates,...
oVisual Error message
„Factory Settings“ (see Chapter Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.)
oNo function
„Programming Mode“ (see Chapter Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.)
oEdit and save the BG230 parameters
oEdit and save the Security device parameters
oCopying the safety device parameters

3.Mounting On Safety Unit
The mounting of the programming unit BG230 can be done by simply plugging the programming
unit at the safety device. Via the 8-position pin strip, both units will be connected. A mechanical
polarity protection ensures that the device cannot be plugged wrong. Neodymium magnets ensure
a safe connection.

the BG230 to the safety unit.
After initialization parameters
can be loaded, edited and saved.
Warranty will expire with damaged seal.

5.Parameterizing the Safety Unit
The BG230 is operated by using the 6 buttons of the touchscreen key panel.
The button OK is used to confirm entries
The „Cancel“ resp. „ESC“ button is used to leave the menu or
go back one menu-level.
The UP button is used to jump to the next menu item or increases
the numeric value (number flashes).
The DOWN button is used to jump to the previous menu item or
decreases the numeric value (number flashes).
The LEFT button switches to the previous menu item or selects
the previous position of the value to be edited (number flashes).
The RIGHT button switches to the next menu item or selects
the next position of the value to be edited (number flashes).
For touchscreen operation, an existing connection between the BG230
and a safety unit is necessary.

5.1. Unit Mode „NORMAL OPERATION“
The DIL-switch positions of the safety unit are:
By using the arrow buttons, this mode allows to change the displays of the BG230 as follows:
5.1.1. Display 1: Frequencies (Hz)
Both input frequencies of sensor1 and sensor2 are indicated
with one decimal place (see “Operational Mode” of the safety
unit).
The indication is independent from the safety device scaling.
5.1.2. Display 2: Divergence (%)
Indicates the divergence of both input frequencies in percent
(see “Div. Calculation“ of the safety unit).
The indication depends on parameters of the Sensor Menus and
divergence parameters settings of the safety device.
5.1.3. Display 3: Scaled Input 1
In this display, the respective input frequency of sensor1 is
converted according to its adjusted parameters („OPU-Menu” in
safety device) and shown in the display. *) See chapter 0
5.1.4. Display 4: Scaled Input 2
In this display, the respective input frequency of sensor2 is
converted according to its adjusted parameters („OPU-Menu” in
safety device) and shown in the display. *) See chapter 0
Examples about the indication of speed, rotational speed, production rates, … see chapter 7.
For information’s about error messages in the status-line see chapter 0.
*) If the version of the safety device is lower 04A, these parameters are in BG230.
The maximum display value is +/- 999 999 999.
