Configuration of blanking
5 Configuration of blanking
The C4000 offers various ways of blanking areas of the protective field. In this way in
many applications a higher level of safety and availability can be assured than would be
possible without the usage of the blanking function. This requires the careful analysis of
the usage of blanking as part of a risk analysis for these applications. Only if the analysis
produces advantages in reliability and thus advantages in safety when the blanking func-
tion is used the usage of the function is recommended.
The person responsible for the machine has the responsibility to decide whether or not to
use the blanking function and to undertake the installation, mounting and configuration of
the safety light curtain such that
the necessary safety is achieved on the machine
and
access to the hazardous area through the safety light curtain in conjunction with the
blanking function is prevented by other protective measures.
