Chapter 7 Status Indicators and Troubleshooting
Optical Interface Device (OID)
More service information is available by using the optical interface device
(450L-AD-OID) and the Rockwell Automation Connected Components
Workbench package. This device can be snapped on a stick and used to visualize
(for example) the protective field status if connected to a computer via a USB
interface. The required Connected Components Workbench software is
available from rok.auto/ccw
.
Figure 79 - Optical Interface Device Snapped on a GuardShield Safety Light Curtain
The Optical Interface Device (OID) has a USB interface for connection to a
personal computer for diagnostic purposes. Use a standard USB A Male to USB
Mini-B Male cable for connecting to the OID. The OID is delivered including a
USB (Type A <–> Type Mini-B) 1 m (3.28 ft) long connection cable (catalog
number 2711C-CBL-UU02). The device must be positioned correctly at the
end of the protective field (2) above the status indicators to allow
communication. First move the latch of the interface close to the bottom end cap
so that it touches the end cap and rotate it so that it snaps in.
The OID can be used when the light curtain is mounted with the top/bottom
and/or the side mounting kit. If there is a weld shield, the weld shield has to be
removed before the OID can be installed.
IMPORTANT We continuously improve and expand the functionality of the GuardShield
safety light curtain product line. Therefore, new firmware releases may be
available. For diagnostic purposes, make sure that both sticks (Rx and Tx)
and the OID are operated with the latest available firmware revision.
