3.2 Cascading option
To implement multiple linked protective fields, SOLID-4E Safety Light Curtains can be
switched one after the other by cascading via plug-in cable connections or as fixed-
connected L or U-shapes.
Cascading devices makes it possible to implement adja
cent protective fields, for rear area
protection without any additional expense for control and connection, for example. The host
system is responsible here for all processor tasks, displays and the receiver-side interfaces
to the machine and control devices.
a = SDT transmitter, host (H)
b = SDT transmitter, guest (G)
c = SDR receiver, host (H)
d = SDR receiver, guest (G)
