serviced only by qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined as persons who …

 due to their specialist training and experience have adequate knowledge of the power-

driven equipment to be checked

and

 who have been instructed by the responsible machine operator in the operation of the

machine and the current valid safety guidelines

and

 are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and safety regulations,

directives and generally recognized engineering practice (e.g. DIN standards, VDE

stipulations, engineering regulations from other EC member states) that they can assess the work safety aspects of the power-driven equipment

and

 who have access to these operating instructions and who have read and understood

them.

As a rule these are qualified safety personnel from the ESPE manufacturer or also those

persons who have been appropriately trained at the ESPE manufacturer, are primarily involved in checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organization operating the

ESPE.

2.2 Applications of the device

The C4000 Select safety light curtain is an electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE)

rated to:

 type 4 in accordance with IEC 61496@1 and @2

 hazardous point protection (hand protection)

 hazardous area protection

 access protection

Chapter 2 Operating Instructions



WARNING

On safety

C4000 Select

Access to the hazardous point must be allowed only through the protective field. The

lant/system is not allowed to start as long as personnel are within the hazardous area.

Refer to chapter 3.3 “Examples of range of use” on page 17 for an illustration of the protection modes.

Only use the safety light curtain as an indirect protective measure!

An opto-electronic protective device provides indirect protection, e.g., by switching off the

power at the source of the hazard. It cannot provide protection from parts thrown out, nor from emitted radiation. Transparent objects are not detected.

Depending on the application, mechanical protection devices may be required in addition to the safety light curtain.

Note



WARNING

The C4000 Select safety light curtain operates as a standalone system, comprising a sender and receiver, or in combination with other extended C4000 Select systems, SICK S300

or S3000 safety laser scanners. This means that the protective field can be adapted to suit individual safety requirements.

2.3 Correct use

The C4000 Select safety light curtain must be used only as defined in section 2.2 “Applica-

tions of the device”. It must be used only by qualified safety personnel and only on the machine where it has been installed and initialized by qualified safety personnel in

Operating Instructions Chapter 3

C4000 Select

Product description

3.2.2 The light curtain principle

The C4000 Select safety light curtain consists of a sender and a receiver (Fig. 1). Between

these two units is the protective field, defined by a protective field height and a protective field width.

The construction height determines the height of the protective field of the appropriate system. For the exact protective field height, please see Tab. 40ff. in chapter 11.4

“Dimensional drawings” on page 64.

The width of the protective field is derived from the dimension of the light path between

sender and receiver and must satisfy the specification requirements for the protective field (see “Technical specifications” on page 55).

Sender and receiver automatically synchronize themselves optically. An electrical connection between both components is not required.

The C4000 Select is modular in construction. All optical and electronic components and assemblies are housed in a slim and torsionally rigid housing.

3.2.3 Device variants

The C4000 Select sender and receiver devices support several end cap configurations.

You must decide which end cap is best suited for your application at time of order placement. The bottom end cap supports the system connection and optional extended I/O

functionality. Three top end cap options are available: cover only, with an optional integrated LED or with an optional extended I/O connection.

There are several variants of the C4000 Select:

 without any extension connection (no extended I/O capability)

 without any extension connection (no extended I/O capability) with integrated LED on

the top end cap of the receiver unit

 with extension connection (supports cascading) located on the bottom end cap with the

system connection

 with extension connection (supports cascading) located on the top end cap with a sepa-

rate bottom end cap having the system connection

 with extension connection (supports cascading) located on the bottom end cap with the

system connection with integrated LED on the top end cap of the receiver unit

3.2.4 Standalone and cascaded systems

The C4000 Select allows you to coordinate multiple protective devices (e.g. additional

C4000 Select devices or SICK S300/S3000 safety laser scanner) in a single safety system.

A maximum of three C4000 Select devices can be connected in series as a “cascade”. The following configurations are possible:

 standalone operation of a single C4000 Select system

 cascade of a host C4000 Select with a guest C4000 Select

 cascade of a host C4000 Select with two guest C4000 Select devices

 cascade of a host C4000 Select with a SICK S300/S3000 safety laser scanner

Cascaded devices are connected using the extended I/O connection. The extended I/O connection may be located either beside the system connection (extended I/O connection

on the bottom end cap) or separate from the system connection (extended I/O connection on the top end cap).

WARNING

Product description

C4000 Select

The benefits of cascading include:

 no additional external circuitry required making connection of additional protective

evices easy to implement

 the protective field height may differ among the individual C4000 Select devices

 a combination of hazardous point (i.e. C4000 Select) and area protection devices (e.g.

ICK S300/S3000 safety laser scanners) can be realized in a single safety system.

The following sections describe the different configurations supported by the C4000 Select. For ease of understanding, only the receiver units have been shown in subsequent

figures.

Ensure that you set the Extended I/O DIP switch correctly for your application!

When cascading additional protective devices to the C4000 Select, you must ensure that the Extended I/O DIP switch has been set to Enabled. Failure to enable the Extended I/O

function in cascaded applications will expose personnel to risk of the associated hazard! Please refer to chapter 4 “Configuration” on page 21 for additional details regarding

extended I/O DIP switch settings and functionality.

Standalone operation

Standalone operation can be realized with all C4000 Select variants. Regardless of variant, DIP switch configuration can be set for standalone operation (refer to chapter 4 “Con-

figuration” on page 21 for additional information).

vers used in standalone operation (shown without extended I/O capability)

Cascade of multiple C4000 Select systems

The C4000 Select supports the cascade of up to three 1800 mm protective height C4000

Select sender and receiver pairs. This may be realized only when the extended I/O connection is available. When three light curtains are cascaded together, a physical barrier may

be necessary to prevent optical interference between the two light curtains configured with the same beam code if they are positioned too closely together. Refer to section 4.2

“Beam coding” on page 23 for additional information regarding this requirement.

4.1 Extended I/O

Enabling the C4000 Select extended I/O functionality allows the connection (i.e. cascade) of additional C4000 Select or SICK S300/S3000 safety laser scanners with the C4000

Select. Refer to section 3.2.4 “Standalone and cascaded systems” on page 13 for additional details regarding C4000 Select cascading options.

When additional devices are cascaded with the C4000 Select, the safety outputs (OSSDs) of the host C4000 Select represent the logical value of all devices in the cascade.

WARNING

Configuration

When the extended I/O safety inputs are not at their expected state (e.g. both inputs should be Active (High) or Inactive (Low)), they are considered “discrepant”. The inputs

ust reach an equivalent value before the internal discrepancy timer expires. Failure to

reach an equivalent value before the discrepancy time expires will cause a lock-out condition to occur.

Electrical-mechanical devices (e.g. emergency stop buttons or safety interlock switches) must not be connected to the extended I/O.

You must ensure that the Extended I/O DIP switch setting satisfies your safety application requirements!

When cascading one or more devices with the C4000 Select, you must ensure that the extended I/O DIP switch setting(s) for extended I/O is enabled as required for your applica-

tion. You must also validate that the C4000 Select and all cascaded protective devices perform in accordance with your risk assessment, risk reduction strategy as well as appli-

cable local, regional and national regulatory requirements.

You must ensure that protective device inputs attached to the inputs of the extended I/O connection can be read safely!

The inputs (IN1, IN2) of an extended I/O connnection enable the 24 V DC PNP-semicon-

ductor safety outputs from a self-monitoring sensor (e.g. another C4000 Select or an S300/S3000 safety laser scanner) to be read safely. The sensor connected to the inputs

of the extended I/O connection (e.g. guest C4000 Select or S3000 safety laser scanner) must …

 be self-monitoring and detect any error conditions that may occur with its output signal

switching devices (OSSDs) using test signals. The host C4000 Select filters these test

signals out.

 execute a safe shutdown of the switching outputs when any error is detected.

Integrated safety mechanisms ensure detection of possible errors on safety capable inputs for:

 Internal errors on safety capable inputs which prevent the inputs from returning to the

safe state. An internal error on a safety capable input is a failure of the C4000 Select

electrical input circuitry.

 Discrepancy of the dual-channel input evaluation

Additional measures must be made to address any external errors that cannot be monitored internally by the C4000 Select. In addition, you must exclude any external errors that

could occur due to selected user configuration parameters.

4.2 Beam coding

If several safety light curtains operate in close proximity to each other, the sender beams of one system may optically interfere or even align itself with the receiver of another sys-

tem. With code 1 or 2 activated, the receiver can distinguish the beams designated for it from other beams. The following settings are available: non-coded, code 1 and code 2.

Use different beam codings if the systems are mounted in close proximity!



WARNING

Systems mounted in close proximity to each other must be operated with different beam

codings (code 1 or code 2). If this precaution is neglected, the system may be impaired in its protective function by the beams from the neighboring system and so change to the

unsafe state. This would mean that the operator is at risk.

Notes

ment display on power-up for beam coding

 Beam coding increases the availability of the protected machine. Beam coding also en-

hances the resistance to optical interference such as weld sparks.

 Using different beam coding settings will allow one C4000 series sender/receiver pair

to be mounted in close proximity to another C4000 series sender/receiver pair without

optical interference.

 Beam coding will increase the response time of the system. This will also change the

required safety distance. Instructions can be found in chapter 5.1 “Determining the minimum safety distance” on page 29.

 In order for the C4000 Select system to operate, both the sender and corresponding

receiver of each C4000 Select system must have the same beam code configuration.

 After activating the system, the C4000 Select receiver will briefly display the coding.

To prevent the possibility of optical interference from C4000 Select devices that have been configured with the same beam codes (e.g. no coding, beam code 1 or beam code

2), a minimum distance between the two systems must be implemented. The following figure provides information regarding the minimum distance “a” that must separate the

two C4000 Select systems based on the distance D between the sender of system 1 and the receiver of system 2.

4.3 Scanning range



WARNING

ranges

ment display on power-up for scanning range

Notes

Scanning range defines the strength of the C4000 Select protective field beams in order to

allow for longer distances between the C4000 Select sender and receiver devices.

Match the scanning range with the protective field width!

The scanning range of the system (host, guest 1 and guest 2) must be adapted to the protective field width. If the scanning range is set to high range and the light curtains are

mounted below the minimum scanning range value, the safety light curtain may not reliably detect objects within the protective field. This would mean that the operator is at risk.

Two scanning ranges are selectable:

Physical resolution Selectable scanning ranges

0…7.5 m30 mm

5…21 m

7?segment display Description

No symbol Low range (0…7.5 m) selected  High range (5…21 m) selected

 If the scanning range is set too low, the safety light curtain may not switch to green.

 Tab. 11 shows the guaranteed scanning ranges for the system.

 Deflector mirrors are available as accessories (see page 74f.). When used, deflector

mirrors will reduce the effective scanning range based on the number used (see Tab. 13). When using deflector mirrors, you must configure the safety light curtain for high scanning range.



WARNING

Do not use deflector mirrors if the formation of droplets or heavy contamination of the deflector mirrors is to be expected!

The formation of droplets of heavy contamination can be detrimental to the reflection behavior. The protective function of the system will be affected and the system will thus

become unsafe. This would mean that the operator is at risk.
