2. If the result S is ≤ 500 mm, then use the determined value as the minimum dis‐
tance.
3. If the result S is > 500 mm, then recalculate S as follows:
S = 1,600 mm/s × T + 8 ×(d – 14 mm)
4. If the new value S is > 500 mm, then use the newly determined value as the mini‐
mum distance.
5. If the new value S is ≤ 500 mm, then use 500 mm.

Depending on the application and distance, persons must be prevented from standing

behind the protective device.
Example calculation
Machine stopping time = 290 ms
Response time after interruption of the light path = 30 ms
Resolution of the safety light curtain = 30 mm
T = 290 ms +30 ms = 320 ms = 0.32 s
S = 2,000 mm/s × 0.32 s +8 × (30 mm –14 mm) = 768 mm
S > 500 mm, therefore:
S = 1,600 mm/s × 0.32 s +8 × (30 mm –14 mm) = 640 mm
In accordance with ISO 13855, it must not be possible to defeat the ESPE. If access to
the hazardous area by reaching over a protective field cannot be prevented, the height
of the protective field and minimum distance of the ESPE must be determined. This is
done by comparing the calculated values based on the possible detection of limbs or
body parts with the values resulting from reaching over the protective field. The greater
value resulting from this comparison must be used.
