Configuration of blanking
5.2.2 Teach-in of individual objects
It is imperative you configure a restart interlock if you use the teach-in function (see
s
ection 4.1 “Restart interlock” on page 28)!
If you do not configure a restart interlock, the safety light curtain will switch to green 1 s
after the object has been taught in.
Teach-in makes it possible to re-define the size of the blanked area in a simple manner. To
use the teach-in function, you must activate the option in the CDS.
An object with a size that is different to that of the previous object enters the protective
field on the conveyor system. Once the object is completely in the protective field and the
entry area is clear again, the safety light curtain switches to red.
The C4000 automatically saves the interrupted part of the protective field as the new
object size after 1 s. The 7Esegment display on the receiver indicates if the object is a
valid object.
Once the operator has actuated the reset button, the safety light curtain switches to green.
The object moves out of the protective field. Further objects of the same size (within the
tolerance limits) can pass the protective field.
Size tolerance
If you have configured the teach-in of individual objects, a size tolerance for the object is
set automatically (see Fig. 26, ). This size tolerance depends on the resolution of the
C4000 and the configured reduced resolution (see section 12.3.1 “Size and distance
tolerances” on page 101).
You can configure the teach-in of individual objects function in the CDS on the C4000
(receiver).
5.2.3 Object gap suppression
During goods detection, gaps in the objects, as for instance are produced by inaccurately
stacked objects on a pallet, will result in the shutdown of the OSSDs.
For this reason, it is possible to permit a gap of approx. 21 mm (for the C4000 Palletizer
Standard) and 11 mm (for the C4000 Palletizer Advanced and C4000 Fusion).
You can configure the object gap suppression function in the CDS on the C4000
(receiver).
