∆max = 1 mn, tmax = 1 s for a press (For
machines different than presses, refer to
chapter 2.4.2 SM inputs, to change tmax and
∆max).

Note :
It is possible to start a muting
sequence as soon as the press tool
reaches a position at 6 mm above the
BDC. At this position, the operator is
no more exposed to a dangerous
situation, and the starting of the muting
sequence avoids damaging the part if
the detection field of the light curtain is
unexpectedly interrupted.
