B Series Advanced Safety Systems
B Series Advanced Safety Systems
The B Series sensing units are extremely easy to install
and interface with only five connections to the emitter (+24V
DC, OV DC, ground, test input) and five connections to the
receiver (+24V DC, OV DC, ground, safety output, and
safety output 2). A “test” input is provided on the emitter
which can be used by the machine to check its own circuits
(if not used it can be jumpered). On the receiver unit there
is a RS485 serial interface used by the hand held program-
ming unit (for blanking). Equipment other than the hand
held programming unit is not intended for this serial inter-
face.
Beam Blanking
Beam blanking is an important feature of the B Series
which allows selected areas of the sensing field to be dis-
abled. This is particularly useful for those applications
where fixed objects, such as workpiece supports, protrude
through the curtain. All B Series light curtains are capable
of being blanked with fixed and floating blanking options
available for increased guarding flexibility. When in beam
blanked mode, the curtain checks for any change to the
programmed condition and will initiate a stop signal to the
machine if, for example, an allowable obstruction is
removed.
The beam blanking function is initiated via the serial inter-
face by a compact, hand-held programming unit. This sin-
gle, cost-effective programming unit is designed to provide
blanking function only and has the advantage that only one
unit is required in order to program any number of light cur-
tains.
Hand Held Programming (Blanking) Unit
The programming unit is used to “teach” the B Series sens-
ing unit when functions such as fixed blanking and floating
blanking are required. One programming unit can be used
to program any number of light curtains. The hand held
unit is quick and easy to use. It simply connects in-line with
the receiver unit (during the programming operation) by
means of screw on quick disconnect cabling. Once the
hand held programming unit is connected to the receiver,
the programming sequence is initiated. While the program-
ming unit is connected to the receiver the safety outputs will
be in the “off” state, prohibiting the machine from operating.
Once the programming is complete, the hand held unit is
removed from the system, and outputs will return to the “on”
state and the machine is ready to operate in the “new pro-
grammed condition”.
