Configurable functions
For floating blanking with partial object monitoring and for fixed blanking with increased
size tolerance, a hole is produced in the protective field for technical reasons. With the aid
of Tab. 11 you can determine the effective resolution of the safety light curtain at this
point and the minimum size of an object to ensure that the safety light curtain reliably
switches to red.

Warning: During operation with “Reduced resolution” or “Blanking” the safety distance
that corresponds to the modified resolution is to be observed.

4.8.4 Teach-in of blanked areas
Teach-in enables the operator to re-define the size of blanked areas in a simple manner by
introducing an object of appropriate size into the protective field at the required position.
This is, e.g., useful during a tool change.
Requirements
To be able to use the teach-in function, the application must meet the following require-
ments:
$ A reset button is connected to the C 4000 Advanced and is correctly configured (see
chapter 6.5 “Reset button” on page 51).
$ A teach-in key-operated switch is connected to the C 4000 Advanced (see chapter
6.6 “Teach-in key-operated switch” on page 52).
