Assembly & Mounting of Modules *

  1. The upper module will be connected to the lower module by simply clicking together.
  2. Inserting the joining tube through the middle bore secures the module connection.
  3. After connecting all modules according to step 2 the configuration can be mounted e.g. on a grooved profile by slot nuts and cylindrical head screws M 5.
    (or alternatively bolting on flat surface)
  4. Finally the cover caps will be pushed on the connecting bores of the module housings.

* To assure IP 65, all modules must be fixed.
* All fixings must be used
* Complete ordered configurations are supplied fully assembled.


Configuration Rules

  1. A configuration must be made up of one head module, at least one core module and one base module.
  2. Maximum No of modules = 11 (including head & base).
  3. Configuration sequence is: head module, safety locks, access locks, solenoid, safety switches, control modules and base.
  4. The start / restart (SR, ST, SW, SX, SY & SZ) module cannot be used in stacks with another module that works on the safety circuits.
  5. All eGard configurations are suitable for use in Installation Category 4 (to EN954-1) applications apart from ones combining an e-stop and a gate switch having an ES and SS in same stack (this is Installation Category 3 EN954-1)

Electrical Guidelines

Control modules with inputs/outputs (I/O) can be configured in any order in the stack (the internal eGard network is self configuring). Table 1 shows how many I/O connections can be made using the different types of connector, and table 2 shows each core modules I/O requirements.

Ref N° Description Max I/O Connects safety circuits
BS Safety Only Zero Yes
BB Safety and Control sourcing Max 2 I/O Yes
BC Safety and Control sourcing Max 8 I/O Yes
BD Safety and Control sinking Max 2 I/O Yes
BE Safety and Control sinking Max 8 I/O Yes
BA Safety and Control AS-I Max 4I & 4O Yes
BH Safety Only AS-I Zero Yes
BG Control Only AS-I Max 4I & 4O No

Creating a Part Number

An eGard configuration part number can simply be created by adding up the single used module part numbers in sequence from head to base. The legend plates, cables, and door actuators must be ordered separately and are not part of the configuration part number. Below an example of how to create an eGard part number:

The complete part number of the example configuration is: HFSBELSSPGPWBC - 51


Wiring Schemes

By using the eGard configurator you are able to simply extract a wiring diagram of each configuration. You can also contact our Technical Sales department for any assistance. Shown below is a wiring diagram for both the 14 pin (safety & control) and the 4 pin (safety only and AS-i) connector.
