Safety

2.1

Intended use

The BML magnetic encoder system is intended for
communication with a machine controller (e.g. PLC). It is
intended to be installed into a machine or system and
used in the industrial sector. Flawless function in
accordance with the specifications in the technical data is
ensured only when using original Balluff accessories. Use
of any other components will void the warranty.
BML sensors with the G-interface (BML...M5EG...) may
be used in safety applications up to Safety Integrity Level 2
(SIL 2) per EN 61800-5-2 / EN 62061 / IEC 61508 and
Performance Level d (PL d) per EN ISO 13849-1.
Other interfaces may not be used without the additional
safety analog real-time signal for safety applications.
Non-approved use is not permitted and will result in the
loss of warranty and liability claims against the
manufacturer.
2.2 General safety notes for the magnetic
encoder system
Installation and startup may only be performed by
qualified personnel with basic electrical knowledge.
Qualified personnel are persons whose technical
training, knowledge and experience as well as knowledge
of the relevant regulations allow them to assess the work
assigned to them, recognize possible hazards and take
appropriate safety measures.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that local safety
regulations are observed.
In particular, the operator must take steps to ensure that a
defect in the magnetic encoder system will not result in
hazards to persons or equipment.
If defects and unresolvable faults occur in the magnetic
encoder system, take it out of service and secure against
unauthorized use.

Explanation of the warnings

Always observe the warnings in these instructions and the
measures described to avoid hazards.
The warnings used here contain various signal words and
are structured as follows:
SIGNAL WORD
Type and source of the hazard
Consequences if not complied with
► Measures to avoid hazards
The individual signal words mean:
NOTICE
Identifies a hazard that could damage or destroy the
product.
DANGER
The general warning symbol in conjunction with the signal
word DANGER identifies a hazard which, if not avoided,
will certainly result in death or serious injury.
2.4

Safety applications

Note for safety applications:
– Only BML sensors with the G-interface (BML...
M5EG...) may be used in safety applications
– A PELV power supply must be used
– Wiring per IEC 60204-1
2.5

Proof Test Interval

The Proof Test Interval is 20 years.
2.6

Disposal

► Observe the national regulations for disposal.
