With special task requirements in material conveyance, the blanking of individual beams may be required in order to ensure an efficient, continuous process while simultaneously guaranteeing safety.
The COMPACTplus-b type 4 Safety Light Curtains in accordance with IEC/EN 61496 have been designed with these requirements in mind. They provide blanking functions for blanking any amount of beams and beam areas of varying sizes. Work pieces, for example, consequently pass through the protective field without interruption. By setting a reduced resolution, thin plates or tubes can also move through the protective field. COMPACTplus Safety Light Curtains and Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices can be equipped with various functions to optimally perform specific tasks with regard to higher functionality, more flexible integration and easier operability.
The COMPACTplus series have a start/restart interlock, contactor monitoring and additional functions that can be easily activated with switches. External additional modules are therefore no longer required. Specific settings are made with the diagnostics and parametering software, SafetyLab. COMPACTplus can be connected to both conventional safety modules and to open safety bus systems via various interfaces (transistor/relay output, AS-Interface Safety at Work , PROFIsafe). These safety sensors can therefore be flexibly integrated into existing automation environments.
