Product Detailed Description

The Allen-Bradley 440F-EBNAF06460 is a Guardmaster™ Safedge™ pressure-sensitive safety edge controller from the 440F series, manufactured by Rockwell Automation. It is designed for monitoring pressure-sensitive safety edges used in industrial machine guarding applications. This controller interfaces with Safedge profiles to detect pressure from human interaction or objects, triggering safety functions such as stopping or reversing machinery to prevent hazards. The model code “440F-EBNAF06460” breaks down as follows (based on standard Allen-Bradley 440F Safedge controller nomenclature):

• 440F: Series designation for Guardmaster safety components.
• E: Indicates Safedge controller type.
• B: Housing style (e.g., polycarbonate enclosure).
• N: Number of safety outputs (typically 2 N.O. contacts).
• A: Auxiliary output configuration (1 N.C. contact).
• F: Reset type (fixed/manual reset).
• 06460: Specific variant code, likely denoting a 6-meter cable length with AF termination (aluminum ferrite connector for edge profile attachment), optimized for standard industrial environments.

This controller ensures compliance with safety standards like EN ISO 13849-1 (up to PLe, Category 3) and EN 1760-1, providing reliable whole-body or partial-body detection in hazardous zones. It features redundant monitoring for high integrity and is suitable for integration into safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS).

Product Parameters

The following table summarizes key technical parameters for the 440F-EBNAF06460, derived from the Safedge controller series specifications:

These parameters ensure robust performance in demanding industrial settings. For exact verification, consult the product datasheet via Rockwell Automation’s literature library.

Product Advantages

• High Reliability and Redundancy: Dual safety relays with cross-monitoring provide fault-tolerant operation, minimizing downtime and enhancing safety integrity (up to SIL 3/PLe).
• Flexible Integration: Supports selectable reset modes (manual or monitored) and wide voltage tolerance, allowing easy incorporation into existing PLC or safety relay systems.
• Durable Design: IP65 enclosure resists dust, water, and impacts, with a long operational life (>1 million cycles), reducing maintenance costs.
• Cost-Effective Safety: Compact size and simple wiring lower installation expenses while meeting global safety regulations, improving overall machine productivity.
• Advanced Diagnostics: Built-in LED status indicators and fault outputs enable quick troubleshooting, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).
• Customizable: The 6m cable with AF termination allows tailored setups for various edge profiles, offering versatility over rigid mechanical guards.

Precautions and Notes

• Installation: Must be installed by qualified personnel following Rockwell Automation guidelines and local safety regulations (e.g., EN 60204-1). Ensure proper grounding and separation from power circuits to avoid electromagnetic interference.
• Wiring: Use only certified safety-rated cables; maximum wire length for inputs/outputs is 100 m to prevent signal degradation. Avoid exceeding 24V DC supply to prevent damage.
• Testing and Maintenance: Perform functional tests (e.g., edge actuation and fault simulation) at startup and periodically (recommended every 6 months) per ISO 13849-2. Monitor for cable wear or connector corrosion.
• Environmental Limits: Do not operate outside -10°C to +55°C or in explosive atmospheres (non-Ex rated). Protect from direct sunlight or corrosive chemicals.
• Compatibility: Verify compatibility with Safedge profiles (e.g., 440F-E series edges); mismatched terminations (e.g., non-AF) may cause failures. Not intended for use as a standalone device—pair with appropriate safety edges.
• Disposal: Follow WEEE directives for electronic waste; do not incinerate due to polycarbonate materials.
• Warranty Note: Standard 18-month warranty from Rockwell Automation; improper use voids coverage.

Product Applications

The 440F-EBNAF06460 is ideal for machine safeguarding in automation environments where pinch-point or crush hazards exist. Common applications include:

• Robotic Workstations: Detecting operator intrusion near collaborative robots (cobots) to trigger emergency stops.
• Conveyor and Assembly Lines: Protecting access points on moving machinery in automotive or electronics manufacturing.
• Packaging Equipment: Safeguarding closing mechanisms on form-fill-seal machines or palletizers.
• Material Handling: Edge monitoring on sliding doors, gates, or lifts in warehouses and logistics.
• Food and Beverage Processing: Hygienic setups with IP65 rating for wet environments, ensuring operator safety around mixers or fillers.
• General Industrial: Any high-risk zone requiring Category 3 safety, such as presses, shears, or winders.

This controller enhances human-machine collaboration by providing invisible, responsive barriers that prioritize safety without impeding workflow. For custom configurations, contact a Rockwell Automation distributor.
