  • Page 5: General Information

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 1 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 General description 1.1.1 General description of the safety light curtain The safety light curtains in the PSEN op4F/H-A series are multibeam active optoelectronic protective devices for work areas in which machines, robots and automated plants in general could endanger the physical integrity of operators who could come into contact with moving parts, even if only by chance.

  • Page 6: Package Content

    Specialised knowledge of safety issues is required to integrate a safety light curtain correctly in a plant. PILZ’s technical customer service team is available to provide any information you need regarding the functionality of the PSEN op4F/H-A safety light curtains and the safety regulations concerning correct installation.

  • Page 7: Guidelines For Selecting The Protective Device

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 1.2 Guidelines for selecting the protective device Once the hazards have been assessed appropriately, there are at least three essential features to consider when selecting a safety light curtain: 1.2.1 Resolution The device’s resolution is understood to be the minimum size that an opaque object must be to safely interrupt at least one of the beams that form the area of the protected field.

  • Page 12: Typical Application Areas

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 1.3 Typical application areas Example 1: Protecting the operating area on drilling machines The operator inserts the workpiece and removes it after machining. The operator must be protected from injury during the machining process. Solution: The safety light curtain PSEN op4F/H-A is particularly suitable for this application, as the device needs to be installed directly on the machine.

  • Page 13: Safety Information

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series Example 4: Moulding machine The moulding machine is used to create complex shapes from metallic parts or parts made from other materials. In this case it is necessary to prevent the operator’s hands or other limbs being dragged, entangled or cut by the tool itself or being injured by the spindle.

    PSEN op4F/H-A series OPERATING MANUAL 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 Precautions to be taken during selection and installation of a light curtain Ensure that the safety level guaranteed by the PSEN op4F/H-A (Type 4) complies with the actual risk assessment of the machine to be monitored, as well as the level defined by the standard EN ISO 13849.

  • Page 15: General Information On Positioning The Device

    PSEN op4F/H-A series OPERATING MANUAL 2.2 General information on positioning the device Special care should be taken when positioning the safety light curtain to ensure it provides efficient protection.

    PSEN op4F/H-A series OPERATING MANUAL Fig. 7 Fig. 8 2.2.1 Minimum distance from reflective surfaces Reflective surfaces close to the beams emitted from the protective device (whether from above, below or from the side) can cause passive reflections. These passive reflections can adversely affect how the object is detected within the protected area.

  • Page 31: Alignment

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 5 ALIGNMENT The transmitter and receiver must be aligned to ensure the device operates correctly. Good alignment prevents the light curtain switching incorrectly due to dust or vibration. The optimum alignment is achieved when the optical axes of the first and last beam from the transmitter coincide with the optical axes of the corresponding elements on the receiver.
  • Page 32 OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series In alignment mode, the light curtain is always in a safe state and the OSSD outputs are OFF. The quality and level of the alignment is determined via the signal strength of each individual beam in alignment mode. The two synchronization beams have a higher value level. The user can see the alignment quality from the LED state at the lower end of the receiver.

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series • It is important to note that the muting function represents a hazardous situation of the device. So it must be applied only in keeping with the necessary preventive measures. • The muting sensors must be correctly positioned to avoid unintended muting becoming potentially dangerous for the operator.

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 7.7.3 Typical muting application and sensor connection Safety sensor Fig. 41 – Typical muting application The diagram above shows a typical muting application: the protection device installed on the conveyor must allow the package to pass through but not the operator. The light curtain temporarily suspends its safety function when the sensors A11, A21, A12, A22 are activated in the correct sequence.

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 7.7.6 Muting filter This function prevents muting from being activated unintentionally. The muting filter is a filter arranged on the muting inputs: Transitions of the muting signal from high to low are only considered valid if they are maintained for a period (Tf) of over 100 ms.

  • Page 52: Partial Muting

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 7.7.7 Partial muting The muting type can be configured: total or partial muting. Partial muting can prove useful when the user wishes to limit the effects of the muting function exclusively to the selected zones. With ACM configuration, the user can select a maximum of 5 muting zones, each of which is defined in accordance with the following parameters: - Position: First beam of muting zone (starting from the user display cover).

With a timeout of over 5 s an error is generated, which blocks the light curtain. The output signals switch to 24 V DC after a time period that represents the maximum value between the reset time and switched restart (greater than or equal to 500 ms).This time period may lie between 500 ms and 5 s.

  • Page 59: Blanking

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 7.9 Blanking Blanking is a function of the safety light curtains, which enables an opaque object to be inserted into the protected field without stopping the machine’s normal operation. Blanking can only be used when certain safety conditions are present and in accordance with a configurable operating logic.

  • Page 60: Fixed Blanking

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 7.9.1 Fixed blanking Fixed blanking enables a certain part of the protected area (e.g. a certain number of beams) to be hidden, while all other beams operate normally. The blanking zone can be achieved using the teach-in process: the user must hold down the 24 V DC N/O teach-in contact (Pin 4 of the 12-pin M12 connector - RX) for at least 3 seconds, while an object interrupts the zone designed for blanking.

  • Page 61: Fixed Blanking With Increased Tolerance

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 7.9.2 Fixed blanking with increased tolerance This is fixed blanking with a tolerance on only one side of the blanking zone, so the user must select “top” or “bottom” tolerance. This function is particularly helpful with conveyor belts (which use fixed blanking) with goods transported along them (dimensions within the tolerance).

  • Page 62: Reduced Resolution

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 7.9.5 Reduced resolution Reduced resolution represents a particular type of floating blanking, in which multiple objects can each interrupt a certain number of beams, while the light curtain remains in normal operating mode. The number below indicates how many adjacent beams the object can interrupt to guarantee that the light curtain remains in normal operating mode.

  • Page 68: Cascading

    OPERATING MANUAL PSEN op4F/H-A series 7.10 Cascading An internal communication bus can be used to cascade several pairs of light curtains with each other. The normal connections at the top and bottom of the light curtain are used with the aid of a cascading cable. The OSSDs are only physically connected to the Master unit. If transmission should fail due to a stuck-at fault or signal degradation, both the Master and Slave units switch to a safe state.
