MLC 500

The type 4 Basic model for a varieties of applications

This Basic model of the type 4 safety light curtains provides the most important functions. Range reduction on the transmitter, reversible transmission channels, a LED display as well as an automatic start/restart interlock round out the range of service. The type 4 Basic model is suitable for a range of applications and is optionally available with AS-i interface or protection class IP 67/69K.

• Automatic start/restart
• Optimal handling
• Prevention of mutual interference of the sensors by selectable transmission channels and range reduction, if applicable
• Universal application due to standard functions
• Short delivery times and global availability
• QR code on the sensor for quick service information

The type 4 Basic model with AIDA-compliant pin assignment

The devices have a plug connection with AIDA-compliant M12 pin assignment (Automatisierungs-Initiative deutscher Automobilisten (AIDA) = Automation Initiative of German automobile manufacturers).

• Automatic start/restart
• Optimal handling
• Range reduction on demand
• Universal application due to standard functions
• Short delivery times and global availability
• QR code on the sensor for quick service information

The type 4 Standard models with function extension

The Standard version of these type 4 safety light curtains features a start/restart interlock (RES) and contactor monitoring (EDM) for increased performance – and it is simple to handle and integrate into your systems.

• Basic functions such as automatic start/restart, start/restart interlock (RES), contactor monitoring (EDM)
• Optimal handling due to function selection without PC as well as LED and 7-segment display with integrated 3-zone alignment aid
• Prevention of mutual interference of the sensors by selectable transmission channels and range reduction, if applicable
• Short delivery times and global availability
• QR code on the sensor for quick service information

The type 4 variant for use in potentially explosive areas

The MLC 520 EX2 series is certified for use in potentially explosive areas of group II, category 3, zone 2 (gas) and zone 22 (dust). The function range of these type 4 safety light curtains corresponds to the MLC 520 standard version and thus also offers a start/restart interlock (RES) and contactor monitoring (EDM) for increased performance – with very simple handling and integration.

• Basic functions such as automatic start/restart, start/restart interlock (RES), contactor monitoring (EDM)
• Optimal handling due to function selection without PC as well as LED and 7-segment display with integrated 3-zone alignment aid
• Prevention of mutual interference of the sensors by selectable transmission channels and range reduction, if applicable
• Short delivery times and global availability
• QR code on the sensor for quick service information
• Approved for use in potentially explosive areas of group II, category 3, zone 2 (gas) and zone 22 (dust)

The type 4 Extended model with lots of extras for your individual requirements

Whenever you need additional control functions, the MLC 530 Extended version is the perfect choice. With its 5 different operating modes, the integrated muting function and 3 different scan modes, the sensor leaves almost nothing to be desired. Device linking enables the construction of 2-channel, contact-based safety circuits as well as serial connections of several devices with safety-related switching outputs (OSSD).

• Integrated function for timing controlled muting for temporary proper bridging of the protective function, e.g. when transporting materials through the protective field
• Fixed or floating beam blanking, reduced resolution: necessary whenever objects must be in the protective field for operational reasons
• Different scan modes: to adjust availability, select SingleScan, DoubleScan or MaxiScan
• Teaching without PC: configuration and teaching, e.g. of floating beam blanking, is quick and easy

Sensor-free muting

The MLC 530 SPG Smart Process Gating variant is the specialist for access guarding with material transport. It allows for a particularly compact system design as it works without the use of muting sensors. Process control takes place here in combination with the system controller. This provides a high level of protection against tampering and at the same time a high degree of availability.

• Integrated Smart Process Gating function for process control together with the system controller, no muting sensors necessary
• Allows the system to be very compact and thus saves valuable space
• Optimal handling due to function selection without PC as well as LED and 7-segment display with integrated 3-zone alignment aid
• Reduced risk of tampering and increased reliability for a high degree of system availability
