The proper, specification-compliant, time-restricted bridging of a protective device (Muting) is required in numerous instances for a continuous, and therefore efficient production process, when conveyor vehicles, work pieces or palettes have to pass a protective field without interrupting the process, for example. The COMPACTplus-m type 4 Safety Light Curtains in accordance with IEC/EN 61496 are predestined for these requirements. They have integrated Muting functions and, controlled by Muting sensors, they can therefore be switched inactive. After the relevant objects have passed by the safety function is automatically activated again.
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.
