HOW TO CHOOSE THE DEVICE Height of the detection zone The controlled height is the height protected by the safety light curtain. In SH4-14/30 Protected Height is equal to ESPE total length: no dead zone is present. In SH4-2/3/4, first beam center is positioned at 130 mm from light curtain bottom, pro- tected height is defined as the distance between uppermost and lowermost beam centreline.
When devices with > 40 mm resolution are used, the height of the top beam has to be ≥ 900 mm (H2) from machine supporting base while the height of the bottom beam has to be ≤ 300 mm (H1). SH4 ADVANCED...
HOW TO CHOOSE THE DEVICE If the safety light curtain must be mounted in a horizontal position (see figure below) the distance between the dangerous area and the most distant optical beam must be equal to the value calculated using the following formula: S = 1600 mm/s (t1 + t2) + 1200 - 0.4 H where: •...
The safety light curtain can be used in most bending operations thanks to its easy installation and compact dimensions. As well as offering excellent reliability, SH4 ensures increased plant productivity as it reduces the dead times necessary for machine accessing, adjustment and maintenance. SH4 ADVANCED...
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Example 3: Paper cutting machines These machines typically cut paper to a specific size for newspapers or special applica- tions. The operator must be protected against abrasion or cuts by cutter blades. Solution: SH4 30mm safety light curtain is especially suitable for this kind of applica- tion, which require the installation of the device directly on the machine.
• The RESET/RESTART button must be located outside the dangerous zone because the operator must check the dangerous zone during Reset/Restart operations. NOTE: Please carefully read the instructions for the correct functioning before powering the light curtain on. SH4 ADVANCED...
GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEVICE POSITIONING GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEVICE POSITIONING The safety light curtain should be carefully positioned in order to provide the necessary protection. Access to the dangerous area must only be possible by passing through the protecting safety light beams. CAUTION: The figure below shows some examples of possible access to the machine from the top and the bottom sides.

One MASTER unit with dual connector (can be chosen among SH4-XX-XXXX-SM-8-5 or SH4-XX-XXXX-A-12-5) • One LAST SLAVE unit (can be chosen among SH4-XX-XXXX-B-5 or SH4-XX-XXXX-C-5-5) • Optionally one MID SLAVE UNIT (must be a SH4-XX-XXXX-C-5-5 unit) SH4-XX-XXXX-SM-8-5 SH4-XX-XXXX-C-5-5 SH4-XX-XXXX-B-5 SH4-XX-XXXX-A-12-5 SH4-XX-XXXX-C-5-5 Figure 95: Cascade system SH4 ADVANCED...
CONNECTION CONNECTION In order to connect SH4 units in a cascade system, follow the steps below: 1. Connect the M12-5 poles female connector of the MASTER unit to the M12-5 poles male connector of following slave unit. 2. Same way a LAST SLAVE can be connected to the MID SLAVE. NOTE: When the distance between units doesn't allow a direct connection an optional M12 male to M12 female 5 pole cable may be used up to 10 m cable length.
M12 5 pin female or none M12 5 pin, male NOTE: See chapter “Connections” for consult the connector’s pin-out. NOTE: A safe auto-recognition procedure at startup is implemented; it automatically detects cascade topology and correctly address units. SH4 ADVANCED...
PROTECTED AREA PROTECTED AREA When installing a cascade system detection capability at the edge of each unit depends on how cascade units are linked with each other. If the proper cascade brackets are used detection capability at the edges can be calculated according to brackets documenta- tion.

RESPONSE TIME RESPONSE TIME Cascade operation is composed by a serialized optic scanning of all cascade units, then the same post-Elaboration (optic scan analysis and self-testing) of single unit operation. Then response time can be calculated in the same way of single unit case considering Tscan as the time to scan all cascade units (comprehensive of communication messages for units sync purpose).
Device used by the ESPE to monitor the status of the external command devices. Emitter (TX) Unit emitting infrared beams, consisting of a set of optically-synchronized LEDs. The emitting unit, combined with the receiving unit (installed in the opposite position), gen- erates an optical “curtain”, i.e. the detecting area. SH4 ADVANCED...
