Table 17 – RX light signals EOS4 (Master)
TEST function
The test function simulates the occupation of the protected area, allowing checking by an
external supervisor (e.g. PLC, control module, etc.) of the correct operation of the entire
system. Via an automatic fault detection system, the EOS4 light curtain is able to verify
occurrence of a fault independently within the response time (declared for each model).
This fault detection system is always active and does not require any external
intervention. The TEST command is available in the case in which the user wishes to
check the devices connected downstream of the light curtain (without physically
intervening inside the guarded area). This command interrupts emission of the beams on
the emitter and makes it possible to switch the OSSD from ON to OFF status as long as
the command is active.
The minimum duration of the TEST command must be at least 4 msec.
Status of the outputs
On the Receiver of the EOS4 there are two PNP static outputs whose status depends on
the condition of the protected area.
The maximum permissible load for each output is 400mA@24VDC, corresponding to a resistive load of 60
.
The maximum OFF-state voltage is < 0,5VDC.
The maximum output current in OFF-state (leakage current) is <2mA.
The maximum load capacity corresponds to 0.82
F@24VDC.
