COMPACTplus-m Function Package muting

Safety Light Curtains and Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices with integrated muting

COMPACTplus Safety Light Curtains and Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices are Active Opto-electronic Protective Devices (AOPDs) of type 4 as defined by EN/IEC 61496-1 and (pr)EN/IEC 61496-2.

The aim of the COMPACTplus range is to live up to any future expectations in terms of top functionality, flexible integration and ease of operation. As an extension of the tried and tested COMPACT range, COMPACTplus incorporates as a bonus a number of additional fully integrated functions, such as for example a startup/restart interlock, electronic device monitoring and blanking. The various interface options that are available make it possible to connect the system at will either to conventional safety components or to safety bus systems.

So as to offer the best possible solution in every case for the specific tasks that are expected of them, the devices of the COMPACTplus range are available in different design variants, each with a different set of functions:

COMPACTplus-m
Safety Light Curtains, Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices and Transceivers with the “Muting” function package for bridging the safety device for a limited period, with, for example, proper material transport through the protective field.
