Restart Interlock - Siemens SIMATIC FS600 Instruction Manual

SAFETY NOTES
Automatic startup / restart must only be used in cases where there is absolutely no
possibility that the effective detection zone could be entered or bypassed in some other
way. Depending on the hazard assessment, visual and / or acoustic startup warnings
should be provided.
If parameters are set for the function "Manual restart", the required enable from the
startup/restart button affects all detection zones and is independent of any detection
zone changeover. If the current detection zone is manually enabled, this enable also
applies even if the system switches to another detection zone and this detection zone
becomes free! If startup/restart interlock is in effect in the current detection zone, it is
also in effect for the other detection zone to which the system switches even if this
detection zone is free.
