3.2.7 Object pattern recognition
The object pattern recognition provides access protection in which complex objects, e.g.
transport skids, have access to a system or machine. If other objects, in particular people,
enter the protective field then the C4000 shuts down its output signal switching devices.
The C4000 is mounted horizontally in the direction of transport of the objects. The beams
on the safety light curtain are e.g. aligned on the rails on a transport skid. Then several
objects per transport skid enter the protective field.
The maximum number of these floating objects depends on the protective field length (see
Tab. 3 on page 22), their size is configurable. In addition, it is also possible to configure
the distance between the objects. As a result, it is possible to accurately configure an
object pattern, the blanking can be adapted to the related application for the specific
customer.
