<strong>the reset of protective devices<\/strong> is considered a safety-related part of the control system, because its function contributes <strong>to reducing the risk that a person remains undetected<\/strong> inside a hazardous area, it is important to emphasize that, when an operator activates this function,<strong> they must verify that no person is present within the safeguarded space.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There have been real situations in which a person was still inside a dangerous area while a colleague closed the access gate and restarted the machine. In those few cases reported to us, no injury occurred, but such \u201cnear-miss\u201d events can easily result in serious accidents.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, <strong>the instruction manual <\/strong>should clearly highlight this risk and inform any operator working on the production line that, before resetting a safety barrier (AOPD), for example, <strong>they must ensure that no one is present inside the safeguarded space.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To reinforce this safety requirement, we recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gt-engineering.it\/cartelli-per-la-sicurezza\/cartelli-iso-7010-obbligo\/e-pbbligatorio-verificare-l-assenza-di-personale\/\">placing a warning label<\/a> next to each Reset Button whenever it performs a safety function.<\/p>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\n        \n        \n                <div class=\"clear-both\"><\/div>\n        \n\n    <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n    \n\n\n\n\n    \n        <section\n            data-name=\"Contenuto testuale con immagine\"\n            class=\"bow-gte-testo-media u-spacer-base\"\n            id=\"\"\n        >\n            \n<div class=\"o-text-media px-side-spacer sm:px-side-spacer-sm lg:px-side-spacer-tablet 2xl:px-side-spacer-desktop flex flex-wrap items-start md:block\">\n\n    \n                    <div class=\"mb-6 relative w-full md:mb-4 lg:mb-8 xl:mb-9\">\n                \n        <div                class=\"m-headings\"\n            >\n    \n    \n<h2 class=\"a-heading text-primary font-heading text-2xl lg:text-3xl xl:text-4xl font-normal mt-2 first:mt-0\">\n                    Consideration 3    <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n        \n        \n                    <div class=\"relative w-full\">\n                \n<div class=\"a-text font-text text-base normal mt-8 first:mt-0 space-y-4\">\n    <p>Since the pushbutton used for the reset function typically has no reliability data available, it is important to minimize the risk of malfunctions. For this reason, especially when the safety function that is reset claims Performance Level (PL) d or PL e, it is essential that the safety system detects a change in the state of the reset button, either from open to closed or, preferably, from closed to open.<\/p>\n<p>This requirement ensures that the reset command is triggered by a deliberate action from the operator and helps prevent faults such as a permanently actuated or short-circuited button.<\/p>\n<p>A requirement of this type is included in the <strong>2026 edition of IEC 62046<\/strong>, which emphasizes the need for state-change detection for manual reset devices used in safety-related control functions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>[IEC 62046: 2026]\u00a0<strong>6.2.4 Restart interlock<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n[\u2026] Resetting a restart interlock of a SPE application is always a safety -related function.

Such measures can include, for example, requiring both a rising and falling edge signal within a defined time (e.g. between 150 ms and 4 s) from a manually actuated reset device.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\n        \n        \n                <div class=\"clear-both\"><\/div>\n        \n\n    <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n    \n\n\n\n\n    \n        <section\n            data-name=\"Contenuto testuale con immagine\"\n            class=\"bow-gte-testo-media u-spacer-base\"\n            id=\"\"\n        >\n            \n<div class=\"o-text-media px-side-spacer sm:px-side-spacer-sm lg:px-side-spacer-tablet 2xl:px-side-spacer-desktop flex flex-wrap items-start md:block\">\n\n    \n                    <div class=\"mb-6 relative w-full md:mb-4 lg:mb-8 xl:mb-9\">\n                \n        <div                class=\"m-headings\"\n            >\n    \n    \n<h2 class=\"a-heading text-primary font-heading text-2xl lg:text-3xl xl:text-4xl font-normal mt-2 first:mt-0\">\n                    Conclusion    <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n        \n        \n                    <div class=\"relative w-full\">\n                \n<div class=\"a-text font-text text-base normal mt-8 first:mt-0 space-y-4\">\n    <p>In conclusion, the reset function of protective devices must be treated with particular care <strong>when it is part of a safety-related control system<\/strong>. Operators must always verify that no person is present within the safeguarded space before activating the reset function, as failure to do so can lead to hazardous situations and potential accidents. Clear instructions in the user manual and visible warning labels near reset buttons are therefore essential to raise awareness of this risk.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the technical implementation of the reset function must ensure an adequate level of reliability. Since reset buttons typically lack reliability data, the safety system should detect a change of state of the reset device to prevent faults or unintended activations.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, when designing or assembling a control panel on behalf of a machinery manufacturer, it is essential to consult the person responsible for the risk assessment <strong>to verify whether the reset buttons must be connected to a Safety PLC<\/strong>. This requirement should never be assumed unnecessary without proper verification.<\/p>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\n        \n        \n                <div class=\"clear-both\"><\/div>\n        \n\n
