  • Page 7 Ds = 63 x (0.3 + 0.09 + 0.015 + 0) + 1 = 26.5 in. (673.1) The light curtain must not be mounted closer than 26.5 in. (673.1 mm) from the guarded hazard. Rockwell Automation Publication SAFETY-AT168A-EN-P - February 2019...
  • Page 8 The minimum distance (A) depends on the distance (D) between the sender and the receiver. Follow these steps to determine the minimum distance from the reflecting surfaces. 1. Determine the distance, (D) in meters, between the sender and receiver. 2. Read the minimum distance, (A) in millimeters, from the graph.

  • Page 9: Functional Safety Description

    After clearing the light curtain, once all safety input signals are correct, no faults are detected, and the reset push button is pressed (for 0.25…3.0 seconds) and released, the DIS relay turns ON its safety outputs, providing power to the contactor coils.

    Light Curtain with a Dual-input Safety Relay Safety Function Calculation of the Performance Level The calculations of the performance levels are based on the November 2017 issue of the Rockwell Automation safety library. Safety Function Limiting Factors Mechanical and electromechanical devices can introduce significant limitations on the number of operating cycles that are allowed per year to achieve the safety rating.
  • Page 14 The CCF value is generated by using the scoring process that is outlined in Annex F of ISO 13849-1. The complete CCF scoring process must be performed when actually implementing an application. A minimum score of 65 must be achieved.
