Product description
3.2.9 Protective operation for hazardous point protection or hazardous area
protection
In protective operation, even in dirty environments a high level of availability is ensured by
the configurable multiple sampling and/or the configurable reduced resolution and by the
two synchronisation beams.
3.2.10 Protective operation with blanking
In addition, up to five fixed areas can be blanked. You can configure the maximum number
of areas in the CDS. The actual number, size and position of the areas can be taught-in
using the key-operated pushbutton for teach-in.
Teach-in enables the operator to re-define the number, size and position of blanked areas
in a simple manner by introducing objects of appropriate sizes into the protective field at
the required positions. This is, e.g., useful during a tool change.
The blanked areas are subject to continuous object monitoring. During this process, the
safety light curtain interrupts the dangerous movement if the object or the objects are
removed from the beam path after teaching-in.
3.3 Status indicators
The LEDs and the 7Esegment display of sender and receiver signal the operating status of
the C4000.
The depiction of numbers on the 7E segment display can be rotated by 180° with the aid of
the CDS (Configuration & Diagnostic Software). If the numbers are displayed rotated, the
point on the 7Esegment display goes off:
Point visible: The bottom edge of the numbers on the 7Esegment display is pointing
towards the configuration connection.
Point not visible: The bottom edge of the numbers on the 7Esegment display is pointing
towards the LED display.
