4.7 Beam coding
If several safety light curtains operate in close proximity to each other, the sender beams
of one system may interfere with the receiver of another system. With code 1 or 2 activ-
ated, the receiver can distinguish the beams designated for it from other beams. The
following settings are available: code 1 and code 2.
Use different beam codings if the systems are mounted in close proximity!
Systems mounted in close proximity to each other must be operated with different beam
codings (code 1 or code 2). If this precaution is neglected, the system may be impaired in
its protective function by the beams from the neighbouring system and so change to the
unsafe state. This would mean that the operator is at risk.
Beam coding increases the availability of the protected machine. Beam coding also
enhances the resistance to optical interference such as weld sparks or similar.
Beam coding will increase the response time of the system. This may also change the
required safety distance. Instructions can be found in chapter 12.2 “Response time” on
page 99.
After activating the system, sender and receiver will briefly display the coding.
You can configure the beam coding in the CDS on the C4000 (receiver) and C4000
(sender).
