2-3 Protection Area

2-3-1 Sensing Area

Be sure to install protection structure around the machine so that the operator

●

must pass through the sensing area of this device to reach the dangerous parts of the machine. Furthermore, ensure that some part of the operator’s body always remains in the sensing area when operation is done with the dangerous parts of the machine. Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.

Do not use any reection type or recursive reection type arrangement.

●

Furthermore, facing several receivers towards one emitter, or vice versa, could

●

produce a non-sensing area or cause mutual interference, which may result in death or serious injury.

The sensing area is the zone formed by the sensing height of the device and the sensing range between the emitter and the receiver. The sensing height is determined by the number of beam channels. Furthermore, the sensing range can be 0.3 to 9m for SF4B-H□G<V2> (12 to 64 beam channels) and SF4B-A□G<V2> (6 to 32 beam channels), 0.3 to 7m for SF4B-F□G<V2> and SF4B-H□G<V2> (72 to 96 beam channels) and SF4B-A□G<V2> (36 to 48 beam channels).

2-3-2 Safety Distance

Calculate the safety distance correctly, and always maintain the distance which is equal to or greater than the safety distance, between the sensing area of this device and the dangerous parts of the machine. If the safety distance is miscal-

culated or if sufcient distance is not maintained, the machine will not stop quickly

before reaching to the dangerous parts, which can result in death or serious injury.

The safety distance is the minimum distance that must be maintained between the device and the dangerous parts of the machine so that the machine can be stopped before a human body or an object can reach the dangerous parts. The safety distance is calculated based on the equation described in the next page when a person moves perpendicular (normal intrusion) to the sensing area of the device.

Before designing the system, refer to the relevant standards of the region where this device is to be used, and then install this device. Furthermore, the equation described in the next pages is to be used only in case the intrusion direction is perpendicular to the sensing area. In case the intrusion direction is not perpendicular to the sensing area, be sure to refer to the relevant

standard (regional standard, specication of the machine, etc.) for details of the

calculation.

The max. response time of the machine is from the point that the machine receives the halt signal from this device to the point that the dangerous parts of the machine stops. The max. response time of the machine should be timed with the machine to be actually used.

The size of the minimum sensing object for this device varies depending on the

case whether the oating blanking function is applied or not. Calculate the safety

distance with the proper size of the minimum sensing object and appropriate equation.

For calculating the safety distance S, there are the following ve cases.

●

First calculate by substituting the value K = 2,000 (mm/sec.) in the equation above. Then, classify the ob-

tained value of S into three cases, 1) S < 100, 2) 100 ≤ S ≤ 500, and 3) S > 500.

For Case 3) S > 500, recalculate by substituting the value K = 1,600 (mm/sec.). After that, classify the

calculation result into two cases, 4) S ≤ 500 and 5) S > 500. For details, refer to “Calculation Example 1

For use in Europe.” When this device is used in the “PSDI Mode,” an appropriate safety distance S must be calculated. For

Calculation Example 1: For use in Europe (OFF response time: 14ms or less, minimum sensing object diameter: 14mm)

First, calculate with K = 2,000. S = K × T + C = K × (Tm + T

SF4B

) + 8 × (d - 14) = 2,000 × (Tm + 0.014) + 8 × (14 - 14) = 2,000 × Tm + 2,000 × 0.014 = 2,000 × Tm + 28

If the result is:

1) In case S < 100 (mm)

Safety distance S is taken as 100 (mm)

2) In case 100 ≤ S ≤ 500 (mm)

Safety distance S is taken as 2,000 × Tm + 28 (mm)

3) In case S > 500 (mm)

SF4B

S = K’ × (Tm + T

) + 8 × (d - 14) = 1,600 × (Tm + 0.014) + 8 × (14 - 14) = 1,600 × Tm + 1,600 × 0.014 = 1,600 × Tm + 22.4

then, calculate again.

If the result is:

4) In case S ≤ 500 (mm)

Safety distance S is taken as 500 (mm)

5) In case S > 500 (mm) Safety distance S is taken as 1,600 × Tm + 22.4 (mm)

In case this device is installed in a system with a maximum halting time of 0.1 (sec.) S = 2,000 × Tm + 28

= 2,000 × 0.1 + 28 = 228

Since this value matches with Case 2) above, S is 228 (mm).

In case this device is installed in a system with a maximum halting time of 0.4 (sec.) S = 2,000 × Tm + 28

= 2,000 × 0.4 + 28 = 828

Since this value matches with Case 3) above, S = 1,600 × Tm + 22.4

= 1,600 × 0.4 + 22.4 = 662.4

Since this value matches with Case 5) above, S is 662.4 (mm).

When the oating blanking function is applied, the minimum sensing object becomes large. According to

ANSI B11.1, Dpf = 900mm (3ft) when d > 64mm (2.5 inches).

≈ 63 × Ta + 1.82 (inch)

In case this device is installed in a system with a maximum halting time 0.1 (sec.) Ds = 63 × Ta + 1.82 = 63 × 0.1 + 1.82 = 8.12 (inch)

Since the receiver performs the self-diagnosis of the output circuit when the device is in light receiving

status (ON status), the output transistor becomes OFF status periodically. (Refer to the gure below.)

When the OFF signal is fed back, the receiver judges the output circuit as normal. When the OFF signal is not fed back, the receiver judges either the output circuit or wiring as error, and the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) maintains OFF status.

Perform the wiring with paying attention to the input response time of the machine to be connected to this device, since the OFF signal of this device might cause malfunction.

2-5-3 Wiring · Connecting Procedure and Connector Pin Arrangement

Connect the mating cable (with connector on one end or connector on both ends) to the connector of the bottom cap cable which is mounted on this device (emitter and receiver). Wire the other side of the mating cable according to the customer’s application referring to the connector pin arrangement given below.

When extending the cable, use the exclusive cable up to the total length of 50m (for

●

each emitter / receiver). Extending the cable longer than 50m may cause malfunction, which can result in death or serious injury. Besides, if two sets of the devices are connected in series, up to total length of 30m (for each emitter / receiver) is allowed for use, and if three sets of the devices are connected, up to total length of 20m (for each emitter / receiver) is allowed for use. Extending the cable longer than the length

specied may cause malfunction, which can result in death or serious injury.

In case the muting lamp is used, a total length should be 40m or less (for each

●

emitter / receiver). When the synchronization + wire (orange) and synchronization - wire (orange
