Configuration of blanking
You can configure the object pattern recognition function in the CDS on the C4000
(receiver).
For blanking object patterns you configure:
the maximum number of objects (1 to 5, depending on the protective field length, see
Tab. 2 on page 20)
the minimum number of objects that must be in the protective field at the same time
(1 to 5), before the protective field becomes clear again
the minimum and maximum object size
The C4000 switches to red, if …
more or less objects than configured pass the protective field.
an object is smaller than the minimum size or larger than the maximum size.
the distances between the objects change by more than the tolerances (see
section 12.3.1 on page 101).
an object enters the protective field other than at the start.
an object leaves the protective field other than at the end.
the object has gaps or the gaps are larger than the gap suppression configured.
the protective field of the safety light curtain is interrupted completely.
the first and last beam of the protective field are interrupted on switching on.
Object size that will result in safe shutdown
The object size that results in safe shutdown is dependent on the size configured.
How to calculate the object size that will result in safe shutdown:
Physical resolution of the devices
20 mm
Configured maximum object size
± 28 mm
= Object size for safe shutdown
Teach-in of object patterns
As an alternative to the manual entry of object sizes and object distances, you can mea-
sure the existing skids using the “Teach-in of object patterns” function. This function
makes it possible to measure the sizes and distances between the blanked areas (e.g.
pillars, wheel arches, shock absorbers) in a simple manner. To use the teach-in function,
you must activate the option in the CDS.
You can configure the teach-in of object patterns function in the CDS on the C4000
(receiver). For teaching-in, the PC with the CDS must remain connected to the C4000.
Teach-in is performed by moving several skids through the protective field. The CDS
develops a suggestion from the object patterns seen; you can modify this suggestion and
use it.
