Description
Multi-beam safety light curtains from Rockwell Automation are
infrared protection devices with 1 to 4 infrared beams. They operate
on the through-beam principle, consisting of a sender and receiver
unit and are suitable for access control and perimeter guarding.
The PAC fulfils the pr EN 50100 requirements, safety category 4, in
that it is a self monitoring device.
• Integrated evaluation with state-of-the-art electronics and
especially developed ICs (ASICs)
• Beam coding for high interference immunity
• Actively monitored semiconductor outputs
• Mini style quick disconnect connectors
• Fast response time
• Large signal reserve (factor 2)
• Optical synchronization of sender and receiver units
• Multiple safeguarding by means of corner mirrors and columns
• Operating modes:
• Electronic Device Monitoring (EDM)
• Restart Interlock
• Muting configuration available
The devices were designed for industrial applications and offer the
following advantages:
