2.2. Products components and interface
Fig. 1 SG-BWS-T4-MT Appearance and user interface
SG-BWS-T4 safety system consists of a control unit enclosed in a plastic housing to be installed on
OMEGA/DIN rail equipped with 16 screw clamps that can be connected up to 4 sets of photocells of
the S5-ST, SL5-ST, S300 series.
System was designed making reference to the following regulations and standards:
The control unit fits two safety outputs (OSSD) controlled according to the status of each and every
sensor connected to the system: when a photocell detects any dangerous condition, this disables the
outputs and stops the machine, duly connected to OSSD.
At the top of SG-BWS-T4 is user interface for viewing warnings.

2.4. Main functions managed by the control unit:
Manual/Automatic restarting: select whether the safety outputs are automatically closed
when danger condition no longer applies or if this should happen after a manual enabling
command output through a restarting selector.
EDM: the control unit can monitor any external contactors possibly connected downstream.
2.5. Typical Applications
The SG-BWS-T4 system is typically used as a protection to the access to dangerous areas on
machines or systems. The sensors are fixed and installed to the access area at the suitable safety
distance from the nearest danger source and output a stop control to the machine or system, if the
light beam is interrupted.
Hereafter are shown some application examples with SG-BWS-T4.
Example 1: Automatic warehouses
The access of both moving bay sides has to be protected in order to prevent operators entering the
dangerous area.
Fig. 3 Automatic warehouses protection with photocells
Solution: safety photocells are installed on both sides of the bay that are connected and driven by
one SG-BWS-T4 control unit.
Advantages: the use of tubular photocells enables installation even in reduced spaces in the
warehouse structure. SG-BWS-T4 is ideal for all applications where protection has to be guaranteed
without additional safety functions.
5
Page 10
SG-BWS-T4
Example 2: SMD machine protection
The access to a dangerous area must be enabled in order to carry-out maintenance procedures. The
access must be allowed by stopping only the specific area by opening the doors and not the entire
machine.
Fig. 4 Doors control by means of safety photocelss
Solution: SG-BWS-T4 is able to detect the door opening by using one or more photocells by
intersecting the interrupted beams, guaranteeing the safety condition.
Advantages: all the safety interlocks can be replaced on each door thanks to the use of photocells
and so reducing the plant cost as well as increasing flexibility.

Page 11
SG-BWS-T4
For a correct and safe use of the SG-BWS-T4, the points considered in this
section must be observed.
Make sure that the protection level assured by the device is compatible with the
real danger level of the machine to be controlled, according to EN 954-1 and EN
13849-1.
Under standard operating conditions, machine starting must not be possible while
operators are inside the dangerous area.
If the operator is able to enter the dangerous area although ESPE positioning, an
additional mechanical protection must be mounted to prevent the access.
3. INSTALLATION
3.1. Safety information
The stopping system of the machine must be electrically controlled. This control system must be able
to stop the dangerous movement of the machine within the total machine stopping time T as per par.
3.4, and during all working cycle phases.
The safety system should be installed and connected by a qualified technician in compliance with the
instructions specified in this manual and industry rules.
The photocells must be securely installed in a particular position so that access to the dangerous zone
is not possible without the interruption of the beams (see 3.3 “General information on sensors
positioning”).
The personnel operating in the dangerous area must be well trained and must have adequate
knowledge of all the operating procedures of the safety control unit.
The START and TEST buttons must be located outside the protected area because the operator must
check the protected area during all Test and Reset operations.
Please carefully read the instructions for the correct functioning before powering the SG-BWS-T4.
3.2. Precautions to be observed for the choice and installation of the device
The OSSD outputs of the ESPE must be used as machine stopping devices and not as
command devices. The machine must have its own START command.
The dimension of the smallest object to be detected must be larger than the resolution level
of the installed safety sensors.
The ESPE must be installed in a room complying with the technical characteristics indicated
in section 9 “Technical data”.
Do not install the sensors close to strong and/or flashing light sources or close to similar
devices.
Strong electromagnetic disturbance might negatively affect device operation. Should this be
the case contact Datalogic Technical Service.
The operating distance of the safety sensors can be reduced in presence of smog, fog or
airborne dust.
A sudden change in environment temperature, with very low minimum peaks, can generate a
small condensation layer on the sensors lenses and so jeopardise functioning.
3.3. General information on sensors positioning
Pay special care when positioning the safety photocells so to offer effective protection. The safety
sensors should be installed in such a way that the dangerous area can only be entered after detecting
the sensitive area.
Photocells position is fixed by normative and must respect measures in Tab. 4.

3.4. Minimum installation distance
The safety device must be positioned at a specific safety distance. This distance must ensure that the
dangerous area cannot be reached before the dangerous motion of the machine has been stopped by
the ESPE.
The safety distance depends on 4 factors, according to the EN 13855 Safety Norm:
Response time of the ESPE (the time between the effective sensors beam interruption and the
opening of the SAFCN contacts).
Machine stopping time (the time between the effective opening of the contacts of the ESPE
and the real stop of the dangerous motion of the machine).
ESPE resolution.
Approaching speed of the object to be detected.
Fig. 5 Safety Distance
The following formula is used for the calculation of the safety distance:
S = K (t1 + t2 + t3) + C
where:
(1) K is:
1600 mm/s
(2) C is:
850mm for multibeam protections
1200mm for single optics systems
With multibeam light curtains, beam height from the ground must comply with the following chart:

3.5. Minimum distance from reflecting surfaces
Reflecting surfaces placed near the light beams of the safety device (over, under or laterally) can
cause passive reflections. These reflections can compromise the recognition of an object inside the
controlled area.
However, if the RX receiver detects a secondary beam (emitted again by the side-reflecting surface)
the object might not be detected, even if the object interrupts the main beam.
Fig. 7 Distance from reflecting surfaces
It is thus important to position the photocells according to the minimum distance Dsr from reflecting
surfaces.
The minimum distance depends on:
operating distance between emitter (TX) and receiver (RX);
real opening angle of ESPE (EAA), especially:
for ESPE type 4 (S5-ST4, SL5-ST4, S300): EAA = 5° ( = ± 2.5°)
for ESPE type 2 (S5-ST2): EAA = 10° ( = ± 5°)
The formula to get Dsr is the following:

3.6. Sensors Interference
When several safety devices must be installed in adjacent areas, interference between the emitter of
one device and the receiver of the other must be avoided.
SG-BWS-T4 monitors possible interference between photocells and locks out if any interference is
detected.
Suitable installation precautions could avoid any interference issue between similar devices. This
typically applies to cases when many devices are installed side-by side and in line, such as for
systems featuring several goods loading/unloading areas, parallel one to the other and whose
entrance is protected by safety light curtains.
Fig. 8 Sensors disposal in order to avoid interferences
To make sure that photocell parallel beams do not create interference, it is necessary to install the
photocells considering a minimum centre distance D
that depends on operating distance D
do
op.
To
make this concept clearer, the chart below shows it for the S5-ST2, S5-ST4, SL5-ST4 series
photocells.

Upon installation, make sure to correctly align the emitter and receiver. Emitter
and receiver optics shall be on the same axis.
Take any due precaution to reduce vibrations when application requirements are
stricter than specifications indicated under section 9 “Technical data”
During assembly, strictly comply with the instructions given under 3.4 “Minimum installation distance” and 3.5 “Minimum distance from reflecting surfaces”
3.7. Installing the safety control unit
The SG-BWS-T4 control unit is simply installed onto an OMEGA/DIN rail placed inside a control panel.
Fig. 10 Safety Control Unit mounting
The 4 4-pole connection terminals can be disconnected quite easily using a flat-blade screwdriver and
can be connected by hand.
3.8. Installing the sensors
S5 and SL5 sensors can be installed exploiting the body M18x1 thread, on through hole (∅ 18 mm),
using the two nuts supplied.
Various adjustable brackets are available to help sensor positioning (see 10.3 “Accessories”).
Please refer to the photocell user manual for further details about installation.

DANGEROUS
AREA
Use of deviating mirrors
The control of any dangerous area, with several but adjacent access sides, is possible using only one
safety device and well-positioned deviating mirrors.
The figure shows a possible solution to control three different access sides, using two mirrors placed
at 45° with respect to the beams.
Fig. 11 Deviating Mirros
The operator must respect the following precautions when using the deviating mirrors:
It is very hard to align the receiver and the transmitter when using deviating mirrors: a tiny
angular shift of the mirror is enough to have a misalignment.
The minimum safety distance (S) must be respected for each single section of the beams.
The effective operating range decreases by about 15% by using only one deviating mirror, the
percentage further decreases by using 2 or more mirrors (for more details refer to the
technical specifications of the mirrors used).
The presence of dust or dirt on the reflecting surface of the mirror causes a drastic reduction
in the range.

Do not place connection cables in contact with or near high-voltage cables and/or
cable undergoing high current variations (e.g. motor power supplies, inverters,
etc.);
Do not connect in the same multi-pole cable the wires for control unit safety
outputs or the OSSD wires of different light curtains.
Do not connect in the same multi-pole cable both emitter and receiver of a set of
photocells.
All devices are protected internally against overvoltage and overcurrent: the use
of other outer parts is not recommended.

If not all 4 photocells are installed, it is necessary to make a jumper to connect the set of TXn-RXn
contacts not in use.
The diagram below shows an example where two sets of photocells are connected. The control unit does not power the photocells, it is hence necessary to connect all power cables (brown and blue
cables) to the same power supply as SG-BWS-T4.

0 to 8 safety photocells can be connected to the SG-BWS-T4 in series of 2.
Connections required for installing 8 photocells:
Tab. 8 Safety photocells connections
If not all 8 photocells are installed, it is necessary to make a jumper to connect the set of TXn-RXn

To each TXn-RXn can also be connected a single TX/RX couple as in SG-BWS-T4 model.
The diagram below shows an example where 4 sets of photocells are connected in series of 2.
The control unit does not power the photocells, it is hence necessary to connect all power cables

4.7. Connecting the external relays and EDM
To use the EDM function available in the BW-ST4, simply connect devices as shown below.
Fig. 17 EDM connections
External devices monitoring (EDM) checks whether the relays (or other control devices) have really
opened the power circuit due to a dangerous condition detected by the safety sensors. This function
monitors normally closed contacts upon OSSD status change.
EDM function is enabled, terminal 3 is left disconnected (see 4.3 “Complete list of connections”).
Activation is confirmed by the decimal point (dot) being displayed on control unit screen.
If EDMis not used, it will be necessary to leave terminal 4 disconnected or consider 0VDC (see
4.3).
To exploit the EDM function available in the SG-BWS-T4 system, you simply have to connect in series
the two NC contacts of the external relays, then connect the free ends respectively to 24V and contact
4 of control unit, as shown in the above diagram.

Carefully assess risk conditions and reset modes. In applications protecting
access to dangerous areas, the automatic reset mode is potentially unsafe if it
allows the operator to pass completely beyond the sensitive area. In this case,
manual resetting is required.

Carefully spot the most suitable position for the reset push-button!
Install the reset push-button outside the dangerous area so as it is not possible to
activate it from inside the area. The operator shall always be able to see the whole
dangerous area whenever activating the reset push-button.
4.8. Reset mode and connection of the Start/Test/Reset push-button
The interruption of a beam due to an opaque object causes the opening of OSSD outputs and the stop
of the safety control unit (SAFE condition, SAFE).
ESPE standard operation can be reset (OSSD safety outputs closing, NORMAL OPERATION
condition, NORMAL) in two different ways:
Automatic reset: After its activation ESPE resets to standard operating condition once the
object has been removed from the controlled area.
Manual reset: After its activation, ESPE resets to standard operating condition only once the
reset function has been enabled and provided that the object has been removed from the
controlled area. This condition determines interlock status, pointed out on the display by the
relevant warning (see section 6 “Diagnostics and warnings”). The reset command will only be
effective if button is held for over 0.5s but less than 5s.
Automatic or manual reset mode is selected by duly connecting terminal 6 (see 4.3 “Complete list of
connections”).

5. COMMISSIONING
5.1. Screen indications upon switch-on
As soon as control unit is powered, all 7 display segments will turn on. The display will then switch off
and all segments are quickly activated one after the other. The display will then switch off again
meaning that the device is ready for use. When the display does not switch off, there is an error in the
device (see section 6 “Diagnostics and warnings”).
The meaning of displayed values is as follows:
Tab. 9 Startup visualization sequence
5.2. Safety devices alignment
Once all components are in place and connected, emitters and receivers shall be mutually aligned.
In alignment mode, the SAFCN safety outputs are open. The alignment mode and relevant
procedure are described here below:
Cut off control unit power supply.
Hold the Test push-button depressed (open Test contact).
Power on the control unit.
The 7-segment display shows the first device to be aligned (Photocells 1-4, light curtains 5-6)
Align the indicated device until display will indicate the following device to be aligned or
alignment completed warning ( flashing).
When alignment is completed, cut off control unit power, release Test push-button (close the contact)
and restore control unit power.
The control unit will run the initial test routines and display a countdown, the display will then turn off
and the control unit will switch to NORMAL OPERATION status ( NORMAL).
Now carry out the following inspections:
The ESPE stays in SAFE mode during photocells and light curtains beam interruption using
the suitable “Test Piece”, along the entire protected area.
Enabling the TEST function, the SAFCN outputs should open (SAFE and the controlled
machine stops).
The response time upon machine STOP (including response time of the ESPE and of the
machine) is within the limits defined for the calculation of the safety distance (see section 3
“Installation”).
The safety distance between the dangerous areas and the safety sensors is in accordance
with the instructions included in section 3 “Installation”.
Access of a person between sensors and machine dangerous parts is not possible nor is it
possible for him/her to stay there.
Access to the dangerous area of the machine from any unprotected area is not possible.
During alignment or normal operation, make sure that the photocells connected to the same or other
units do not interfere with each other. Should you find interference, change their position, for instance
you could set some emitter sets on the side of the other receivers. In case of interference, the control
unit will lock out and display the relevant error code.

7. PERIODICAL CHECKS AND WARRANTY
7.1. Periodical checks
The following is a list of recommended check and maintenance operations that should be periodically
carried out by qualified personnel.
Check that:
The ESPE stays in OSSD disabled state ( SAFE) mode during photocells beam interruption using
the suitable “Test Piece”, along the entire protected area.
Sensors are correctly aligned: by slightly pressing each sensor side, in both directions, the
system shall stay in NORMAL mode
Enabling the TEST function, the SAFCN outputs should open ( SAFE and the controlled
machine stops).
The response time upon machine STOP (including response time of the ESPE and of the
machine) is within the limits defined for the calculation of the safety distance (see section 3
“Installation”).
The safety distance between the dangerous areas and the safety sensors is in accordance
with the instructions included in section 3 “Installation”.
Access of a person between sensors and machine dangerous parts is not possible nor is it
possible for him/her to stay there.
Access to the dangerous area of the machine from any unprotected area is not possible.
The ESPE, the sensors and the external electrical connections are not damaged.
The frequency of checks depends on the particular application and on the operating
conditions of the safety light curtain.
