Configuration of blanking
5.7 Blanking of geometrically even objects
Using this function, e.g., rolls of paper or cardboard boxes on conveyors can be blanked
that as a result then have access to a system or machine.
If other objects, in particular people, enter the protective field then the C4000 shuts down
its output signal switching devices.
Prevent people entering the hazardous area beside the object!
During entry, the item transported must block the access to the hazardous area.
The blanked area requires a separate risk analysis!
It is the responsibility of the person responsible for the machine to check whether this type
of access protection produces safe shutdown in the related application. As a rule, applica-
tion-specific acceptance is required. Please consult the related authorities or your insurer.
The resolution of the safety light curtain is defined by the blanked area. You must take this
aspect into account when calculating the safety distance (see section 6.3 “Calculating the
safety distance for a vertical application” on page 62).
The area of the protective field that is permanently active must start at the latest at
1500 mm above the access plane so that a person is safely detected.
The C4000 Fusion is mounted slightly at an angle in the direction in which the objects
are transported. The slightly inclined position is necessary to suppress interference due
to front faces on the objects that are not completely smooth.
The safety light curtain must be near to the ground to prevent crawling beneath.
Configure the blanking of geometrically even objects function in the CDS on C4000
(receiver).
For blanking geometrically even objects, you configure:
1 object to be blanked
the height of the blanked area
geometrically even objects
