Configuration of blanking
How to reset blanked areas:
Remove all objects or the objects that are no longer required from the protective field.
Press the key-operated pushbutton for teach-in. The safety light curtain changes to red.
After the key-operated pushbutton for teach-in is released, the C4000 deletes all
blanked areas and monitors the newly defined protective field. The safety light curtain
switches to green if the protective field is clear and the 7Esegment display on the recei-
ver goes off.
Or:
Switch off the supply voltage for the C4000. As a result the blanked areas are deleted.
After switching back on, the safety light curtain is in protective operation.
Test the protective device after resetting the blanked areas!
Test the entire protective device for effectiveness (see section 8.3 “Test notes” on
page 85).
Effective resolution with areas taught-in
The effective resolution of an optical system depends on both its optical components and
on its configuration. The effective resolution cannot be higher than the highest possible
physical resolution of the system. However, it can be reduced by the configuration, e.g. by
blanking beams.
In conjunction with size tolerance, the effective resolution is reduced at the edges of the
blanked areas. The effective resolution in the case of blanking with fixed size tolerance on
the C4000 Fusion is 30 mm.
Check the safety distance!
When using blanking with fixed size tolerance, the required safety distance will depend on
the effective resolution of 30 mm.
Re-calculate the safety distance with a resolution of 30 mm (see page 62) and correct it
on the machine.
Mark the effective resolution on the information label “Operation with ‘reduced resolu-
tion’ or ‘blanking’ …” on the related sender and receiver.
Warning: During operation with “Reduced resolution” or “Blanking” the safety distance
that corresponds to the modified resolution is to be observed.
Physical resolution Resolution modified to:
(please mark)
14 mm 20 mm 30 mm 40 mm
Reduction Effective resolution/minimum object size
1 beam 22 mm 30 mm 50 mm 70 mm
2 beams 30 mm 40 mm 70 mm 100 mm
3 beams 37 mm 50 mm 90 mm 130 mm
n beams mm mm mm mm
Object gap suppression
You can also configure object gap suppression to permit gaps between the objects in the
blanked areas. It is possible to allow gaps of approx. 10 mm.
You can configure the object gap suppression function in the CDS on the C4000
(receiver).
