3 Product description
This chapter provides information on the special features and properties of the C4000
safety light curtain. It describes the construction and the operating principle of the device,
in particular the different operating modes.
Please read this chapter before mounting, installing and commissioning the device.
3.1 Special features
3.1.1 C4000 Palletizer
The C4000 Palletizer safety light curtain has the following characteristics:
Advanced
self-teach dynamic blanking for pallet detection, as a result differentiation between
several moving objects with static distance in the protective field plane (e.g. feet on
pallets or mesh crates or wheels on a trolley) and other objects, in particular people
Object entry monitoring: At the unidirectional output on a machine, the C4000 Palletizer
permits discharge independent of the size of the objects, as long as the direction in
which the objects are transported is correct.
Standard
self-teach dynamic blanking for goods detection, differentiation between a single object
in the protective field plane (e.g. packages or goods on a pallet) and other objects, in
particular people
Standard and Advanced
Object entry monitoring (Exit Only): This universal function permits the discharge of
objects at the unidirectional output on a machine independent of the size of the objects
with a tolerance in relation to the distance between the objects if the direction in which
the objects are transported is out of the hazardous area.
automatic teach-in of object sizes
object size monitoring
gap suppression
reduced resolution
multiple sampling
external device monitoring (EDM)
connection of a reset button in the control cabinet or directly to the device (in many
cases connection to the device results in shorter cable lengths and improved visibility of
the hazardous point)
bypass for safe operating states or emergency stop (facility on the device for connecting
a key-operated pushbutton for bypass or an emergency stop button)
2 beam codings for protection against mutual interference between two systems
physically close together
