■ Description
An Omron STI Universal Mat
system (UM series mat combined
with an MC3, MC4 or MC6) offers
a simple method for guarding
personnel around hazardous ma-
chines. A Universal Mat system
offers freedom, flexibility, and
reduced operator fatigue when
compared with traditional guard-
ing methods such as interlocked
fences, pullback restraints or
perimeter barriers.
Full visibility of and access to
the work area is maintained. There
is no need to worry about person-
nel forgetting to replace mechani-
cal barriers or close gates.
How the System Works
The operation of a Universal
Mat system is easy to understand.
The mat is a simple, normally
open switch. When a specified
minimum weight is applied to
the mat the "switch" closes. This
sends a signal to the controller
which, in turn, sends a stop signal
to the guarded machine.
Each mat presents four wires to
the controller. This provides the
redundancy required to monitor
the wiring for open circuits due to
incorrect wiring or physical dam-
age to the wires.
In order to meet many national
safety regulations, Omron STI
offers trim to secure the mat to the
floor so that it cannot be easily
relocated and therefore become
ineffective.
■ Applications
Presence sensing safety mats
are used to monitor an entire haz-
ardous area. They offer flexibility,
quick access and may frequently
be the most economic choice.
Other options for perimeter guard-
ing include interlocked barrier
guards and safety light curtains.
However, personnel can become
trapped inside a barrier guard and
safety light curtains only monitor
the perimeter, not the hazardous
area inside.
Additionally, mats can also
simplify routine tasks such as
machine setup, maintenance and
repair.
Applications can be found
throughout industry and typically
include the following areas:
•Welding Robots
•Assembly Machinery
•Material Handling
•Packaging Machinery
•Punches
•Presses
•Robotic Work Cells

■ Mat Selection
Multiple UM series mat sizes
are offered. A system can easily
be configured to meet almost any
guarding requirement.
Standard Mat Sizes
Widths 12 to 48 in. (6 in. increments)
Lengths 12 to 72 in. (6 in. increments)
Metric Mat Sizes
Widths 500 to 1200 mm
Lengths 500 to 1800 mm
Custom Mat Sizes
Widths up to 48 in.
Lengths up to 72 in.
■ Trim Selection
Several choices are available in
trim selection and can be custom-
ized to a specific application.
Two-Part Ramp Trim
with Yellow PVC Cover
This trim simplifies routing of
cables and replacement of dam-
aged mats. To position the mats
correctly, place all of the mats in
the approximate position, place
the joining trim between the mats,
then temporarily place the cover
on the joining trim. Square the
mats by sliding the ramp trim
under the mats. When all of the
mats are correctly positioned,
anchor the perimeter trim to the
floor. After the wires have been
routed, a rugged cover of highly
visible, safety yellow PVC is
snapped into place. Corners can
either be mitered or be Omron
STI's exclusive molded corners.
Two-Part Ramp Trim
with Aluminum Cover
This trim is the same as above
except that the PVC cover is
replaced with an aluminum cover
that is attached by screws to the
base. (See the Dimensions Section
of this datasheet for details.)
Two-Part Active Joining Trim
Similar in concept to the two-
part ramp trim, this trim provides
an "active" joint where the pe-
rimeters of two mats adjoin each
other. When a person steps on the
surface cover of the active joining
trim, the Universal Mat system
will detect their presence and
send a stop signal to the guarded
machine.
Aluminum Blunt Trim
Used to finish off the edge of
a mat installation near a wall
or machine. Helps hold mats in
place.
Aluminum Ramp Trim
This single part aluminum ramp
trim is available for areas where
the two part ramp trim may not be
suitable.
Molded Corners
Eliminates the need to miter
the corners of perimeter trim.
Designed to mate with Omron STI
two-part ramp trim.

■ Ordering - Standard Size
A Universal Mat System contains at least one
mat, sufficient perimeter and joining trim and a
controller. For multiple mat installations using the
MC3 controller, the mats are connected in series to
the controller. This may be done using the UMDB6
wiring accessory. When using the MC4 or MC6
controllers, six mats may be connected directly to
the controller.
Each component of a Universal Mat system must
be ordered individually.

■ Ordering - Metric Size
A Universal Mat System contains at least one mat, sufficient
perimeter and joining trim and a controller. For multiple mat instal-
lations using the MC3 controller, the mats are connected in series to
the controller. This may be done using the UMDB6 wiring accessory.
When using the MC4 or MC6 controllers, six mats may be connected
directly to the controller.
Each component of a Universal Mat system must be ordered
individually.

■ Description
MC3
The MC3 DIN mount controller
may be used in applications that
do not require the feature set of
the MC6 controller. The MC3
single zone mat controller has
removable terminal blocks and
operates only on 24 VDC.
MC4
The MC4 is a NEMA 4, 12
rated single zone mat controller.
This controller may be used in
applications when the diagnostic
features of the MC6 may not
be required. The MC4 may be
ordered in either 24 VDC or
the universal auto-selecting power
supply for 100-240 VAC.
MC6
The MC6 is a NEMA 4, 12
controller with six individual mat
zone indicators and is designed to
be backward compatible with the
MC4. Both units are dimension-
ally identical. This is where the
similarities stop: The MC6 has
full featured diagnostics with a 24
VDC and an optional universal
power supply (100-240 VAC auto-
selecting). It is a controller that
can be use anywhere in the world.
The MC Series safety
mat controllers are used in
conjunction with a four-wire,
normally open, safety mat where
perimeter guarding is required.
These control reliable controllers
send a stop signal to the guarded

The MC Series controllers,
when combined with a four-
wire UM series mat, provide
access guarding and improved
productivity. The work area is
fully visible and accessible.
The controller meets the
requirement of EN 1760-1:1998,

ANSI B11.19-2003, OSHA 1910-

■ Additional Guarding
Requirements
A safety mat system is often
only one part of a machine
guarding solution. If the safety
mat does not protect all access to
the point of operation, additional
guarding must be used. Safety
mat systems should only be used
to detect the presence, not the
absence, of a force.
Perimeter Guarding
Requirements
For perimeter guarding
installations, the guarded machine
or robot controller must be
wired such that any stop signal
generated by the safety mat
system will cause an immediate
stop of the hazardous motion.
The machine or robot must only
be restarted by the actuation of
a manual reset switch. This reset
switch must be located outside
the area of hazardous motion
and positioned such that the
hazardous area can be observed
by the switch operator. The
purpose of this arrangement is to
prevent a machine or robot from
automatically restarting once
the sensing weight is no longer
detected by the safety mat sensing
area.

Safety Standards and
Precautions
A Safety Mat controller is a
general purpose, safety mat control
device and is not designed for any
specific type, model or brand of
machine. All safety-related functions
of the guarded machine controls
including pneumatic, electric, logic
or hydraulic controls must be control
reliable.
A Safety Mat controller when
combined with a four-wire safety
mat meets ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999,
ANSI B11.19-2003 and the following
applicable OSHA standards. When
used with mechanical power
presses, OSHA standard 1910.217(c)
applies. For other applications the
requirements of section 1910.212
apply.
Only use a Safety Mat controller
and four-wire safety mat system on
machinery that stops consistently
and immediately anywhere in its
cycle or stroke. Never use a Safety
Mat controller and four-wire safety
mat system on a full-revolution
clutched press or machine. Access to
the point of operation or hazardous
machine area not protected by the
Safety Mat controller and four-
wire safety mat system must be
guarded by fencing, barriers or other
appropriate methods.
The purchaser, installer and
employer are responsible for
meeting all local state and federal
government laws, rules, codes or
regulations relating to the proper
use, installation, operation and
maintenance of this control and the
guarded machine. See Installation
and Operation Manual for details.
All application examples described
are for illustration purposes only.
Actual installations will differ from
those indicated.
