COMPACTplus 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.

Productivity and safety are among the key requirements of automated manufacturing systems. In materials handling technology, safety light barriers with muting functionality ensure the full time protection of personnel, without holding up the passage of materials. A particularly flexible and economic solution is to be seen in the new CPRT-m type 4 multibeam safety light barrier of the COMPACTplus series, which incorporates both muting and override functionality.

All the sensors that are required for distinguishing between persons and materials, as well as the operating and display elements, can be directly connected to the light barrier on site. Various output versions, such as semiconductors, relays or integrated safety bus interfaces, may be selected; these facilitate the optimum integration of the equipment in any kind of control system.

Advantages

  • Integrated evaluation unit, no external control devices required

  • Choice between semiconductor output, relay output or safety bus interface

  • Electrical wiring only on one side of the conveyor lines, as based on the transceiver principle (transmitter and receiver in a single housing)

  • Several types of muting can be easily selected by means of DIP switches, no PC is needed

  • Integrated, monitored override function in accordance with the most recent safety requirements (IEC 61496-1: 2001 FDIS), for the safe release of material after switching off

  • Muting sensors, start button and i indicators can be connected directly to the transceiver by way of an integrated or external sensor connection module

  • Integrated LED indicator (optional)

  • Possibility of connecting emergency stop units or safety switches to an additional safety circuit

  • Wide range mounting and sensor accessories

  • Multiscan function, based on multiple polling of the light axes, together with two transmission channels for maximum availability

  • Plug-in parameter module with saved device configuration, making it quick and easy to replace components
