safety device or with the machine protected by the M4000 multiple light beam safety device.

2.1 Qualified safety personnel

The M4000 multiple light beam safety device must only be installed, commissioned and

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

 have undergone the appropriate technical training

and

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

machine and the current valid safety guidelines

and

 who have access to these operating instructions.

WARNING

2.2 Applications of the device

The M4000 system is a type 4 electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) as defined by IEC 61496E1 and IEC 61496E2 and is therefore allowed for use with controls in category 4 according to EN ISO 13849E1. The preconfiguration of the M4000 multiple light beam safety device is suitable for:

 hazardous area protection

 access protection

The multiple light beam safety devices must be installed such that the hazardous area can only be reached by interrupting the light path between sender and receiver. It must not be

possible to start the plant/system as long as personnel are within the hazardous area.

The M4000 system is intended only for use in industrial environments. When used in resi-

dential areas it can cause interference.

Refer to page 16 for an illustration of the protection modes and an example application.

Only use the multiple light beam safety device 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 protective devices may be required in addition

to the M4000 system.

3.2 Operating principle of the device

3.2.1 The principle of the multiple light beam safety device

The M4000 multiple light beam safety device secures the access to a hazardous area and signals the entry of objects as soon as a light beam is interrupted. The machine or plant

controller that evaluates this message must then bring the dangerous movement to a halt. You can secure two sides of a hazardous area by using a deflector mirror, with two deflec-

or mirrors you can secure three sides (see chapter 3.3.2 “Access protection on several

t sides with the aid of deflector mirrors” on page 17ff).

Principles of operation

The M4000 multiple light beam safety device consists of a sender unit and a receiver unit. A distinction should be made between active/active systems and active/passive systems:

 On the active/active system, sender unit and receiver unit are in separate housings, the

sender and the receiver. The light beam is emitted from the sender and is incident to

the receiver.

 On the active/passive system, sender unit and receiver unit are in a common housing

(M4000 Advanced A/P). The light beam is emitted from the sender unit and is deflected by the deflector unit M4000 Passive (mirror deflection or fibre-optic deflection) by 180°

back to the receiver unit (see Fig. 2). As a passive element, the deflector unit does not require any electrical connections.

For the exact number and distance of beams, please see chapter 13.3 “Dimensional drawings” on page 120ff.

The dimension of the light path between sender and receiver (or between the M4000 Advanced A/P and M4000 Passive) must not exceed the maximum permissible scanning

range (see “Technical specifications” on page 113ff.).

On active/active systems, sender unit and receiver unit synchronise automatically by

optical means. An electrical connection between both components is not required.

The M4000 is modular in structure. All optical and electronic components and assemblies

are housed in a slim and torsionally rigid housing.

Subject to change without notice

M4000 Advanced

The M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety device is available with 2, 3 or 4 beams. Other configurations with up to 12 beams are possible on request. The maximum scanning

range (dimension of the light path between sender and receiver) is 70 m.

M4000 Advanced A/P

The M4000 Advanced A/P is available with 2 or 4 beams. The maximum scanning range (dimension of the light path between the M4000 Advanced A/P and the M4000 Passive) is

instructions of the corresponding UE403 or sens:Control device.

Pay attention to the following safety notes!

 Muting is only allowed to be activated during the period when the material to be trans-

ported (e.g. on a pallet) blocks the access to the hazardous area.

 Muting must be performed automatically, but must not depend on a single electrical

signal.

 Muting must be triggered by at least two independently wired signals (e.g. from muting

sensors) and must not depend entirely on software signals (for instance from a PLC).

 Muting must be removed immediately as soon as the material to be transported no

longer blocks the access to the dangerous movement so that the protective device is once more effective.

 The material to be transported must be detected over its entire length, i.e. there must

be no interruption in the output signals.

 Mount the control switch for reset or override outside the hazardous area such that it

cannot be operated by a person in the hazardous area. When operating the control

switch, the operator must have full visual command of the hazardous area.

 Always mount the sensors so that the minimum distance to the protective device is

maintained.

4.1 Muting principle

uting temporarily mutes the protection provided by a safety device. In this way it is possi-

ble to move material to or from a machine without the need to interrupt the work process.

During muting a differentiation is made between people and material with the aid of addi-

tional sensor signals. In the event of a valid muting condition the protective device is overridden on the basis of a logical evaluation of these external sensor signals so that the ma-

terial to be transported can pass through the protective device. As soon as anything other than material enters the hazardous area, the work process is interrupted.

Fig. 14: Schematic illustration of muting

  

In the example, the material moves from left to right on a conveyor belt . As soon as the muting sensors A1 and A2 are activated , the protection provided by the ESPE protective device is muted and the material can move into the hazardous area. As soon as the muting sensors are clear again , the protection provided by the protective device is reactivated.

4.1.1 Muting cycle

The muting cycle is the defined sequence of all processes that take place during muting.

The cycle starts when the first muting sensor is activated. The cycle ends when the last muting sensor returns to its initial state (e.g. clear light path for optical sensors). Only then

is it possible to activate muting again.

Material can be transported several times during a muting cycle, if the muting condition is

maintained continuously, i.e. at least one pair of sensors remains activated continuously. Exception: With the Exit monitoring function activated (see sections 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 from

page 30), multiple material transport within a muting cycle is not possible.

uting mutes the ESPE on the presence of a valid muting condition. With the Partial blank-

M ing function, safety can be increased by only blanking part of the ESPE on the presence of a valid muting condition. One or more light beams remain permanently active.

Fig. 31: Principle of operation of the partial blanking function



The part of the ESPE configured by the partial blanking function is blanked on the presence of a valid muting condition  (e.g. for a specific object height). The rest of the light beams remain active; an interruption to the light beams in the active area always results in

the shutdown of the OSSDs.

The area to be blanked is configured by entering the start of the blanking (see Fig. 32: first beam adjacent to display  or first beam remote from display ) and the number of blanked beams.

Fig. 32: Start of the blanking

ride.

6.7 Partial blanking/muting changeover

f partial blanking is configured, this function makes it possible to switch between partial

blanking and muting. To ensure that an incorrect signal does not trigger invalid changeover from the partial blanking function to the muting function, it is checked whether a valid

condition for changeover is present with the aid of the additional signal C1 (dynamic sequence) (see section “Additional signal C1” on page 49).

A changeover is only sensible if, e.g., different material heights are transported at irregular intervals and some beams cannot remain permanently active without interrupting the ma-

terial flow. The material can be classified, e.g., using a bar-code reader that generates the signal C1 necessary for the changeover.

In the example, the changeover between the partial blanking and muting functions is per-

formed using a bar-code reader. The different material heights are classified and saved using bar-codes. The bar-code reader classifies the material and generates the change-

over signal C1 over a separate output as required.

If the bar-code reader detects low material , the partial blanking configured remains

active.

If the bar-code reader detects high material , it generates the additional signal C1 and

the configured changeover between partial blanking and muting is performed.

6.8.2 Override realised with the integrated override function

The override function is activated with the aid of the CDS and differentiates between two states Override required and Override.

Override required

The Override required state means that the output signal switching devices (OSSD) are in

the OFF state and the system is waiting for the activation of the override control switch. The system signals this state with a flashing muting lamp (2 Hz) and at the same time

ndicates the cause of the error message on the 7Esegment display.

The Override required state is only triggered by the system if, during the presence of a

valid muting condition …

 an error occurs, i.e. if at least one muting sensor is active and at least one is inactive

and

 muting is brought to an end

and

 the ESPE is interrupted by an object.

Errors can be triggered by the triggering of the concurrence monitoring, the monitoring of the total muting time, the direction detection, the sequence monitoring or the sensor gap

monitoring, by the muting sensors or the muting lamp or by a re-start after an emergency stop/mains voltage failure.

WARNING

Override

Please pay attention to the following safety notes for the Override state!

 Install the control switch for override so that the entire hazardous area can be seen

when the switch is operated.

 After clearing the system and before actuating the override make sure the plant is in

the correct state. Check in particular whether the following muting indicators are off:

– end cap with integrated LED

– external muting lamp – display Override required ( Yellow/red 2 Hz)

 If it is necessary to press the override button twice in two muting cycles one after the

other, the muting arrangement and the sensors must be checked.

Override (indication ) can only started in the override required state ( Yellow/red 2 Hz) by actuating the control switch for the override. The system continues the muting at

the point at which it was interrupted. The output signal switching devices (OSSD) switch to the ON state and the system only monitors the override status.

Override can be triggered in two different ways:

 with a separate control switch

 with a common control switch for reset and override

Electrical connection of the control switch is described in the chapter “Electrical Installa-

tion” of the operating instructions of the corresponding UE403 or sens:Control device.

Note

For safety reasons the override duration is limited and is monitored using 2 time monitors.

he first time monitor lasts 30 minutes, the second time monitor lasts 60 minutes.

Both time monitors are started the first time the override control switch is actuated. The following two conditions must be met:

1. The muting cycle initiated must have been brought to an end within 30 minutes, i.e. all muting sensors and the ESPE must be clear again (objects/material has been moved

2. A completely error-free muting cycle must have been completed within 60 minutes

without triggering of the override.

Effects of the conditions:

 If both conditions are met, the system continues to operate normally (muting is trig-

gered on the presence of valid muting condition) and both time monitors are reset.

 If the first condition is not met (30 minutes have elapsed), the system goes back into

the Override required state. The first time monitor re-starts and a further 30 minutes are available to meet both conditions.

How to calculate the minimum distance S according to EN ISO 13855 and EN ISO 13857:

he following calculation shows an example calculation of the minimum distance.

Note

Depending on the application and the ambient conditions, a different calculation may be necessary.

 First, calculate S using the following formula:

S = 1600 × T + C [mm]

Where …

T = Stopping/run-down time of the machine

+ Response time of the M4000 system after light path interruption [s]

S = Minimum distance [mm]

C = Supplement [mm], depending on the number of beams (1, 2, 3 or 4)

If it is possible to reach over the vertical protective field of an ESPE, the supplement C must be determined as per the tables in EN ISO 13855. Here the following always applies: C

(reaching over)  C

(reaching through)

Example 1: Access protection with two beams for a hazardous point, where there is no risk of reaching over:

C = 850 mm Stopping/run-down time of the machine = 290 ms

Response time of the light path interruption = 30 ms

T = 290 ms + 30 ms = 320 ms = 0.32 s

S = 1600 × 0.32 + 850 = 1362 mm

Example 2: Access protection with three beams for a hazardous point, where there is a risk of reaching over:

 Three-beam standard ESPE (300/400/1100 mm)

 Height of the top edge of the protective field: 1100 mm

 Height of the hazardous area: 1400 mm

As per EN ISO 13855 a resolution-dependent supplement C of 1100 mm applies (instead of the previously usual 850 mm).

C = 1100 mm Stopping/run-down time of the machine = 290 ms

Response time of the light path interruption = 30 ms

T = 290 ms + 30 ms = 320 ms = 0,32 s

he following calculation shows an example calculation of the minimum distance.

Note

Depending on the application and the ambient conditions, a different calculation may be necessary.

 First, calculate D

using the following formula:

Where …

= The minimum distance in inches (or millimetres) from the hazardous point to the

approach speeds of the body or parts of the body. Often 63 inches/second is used for H

= Stopping/run down time of the machine tool measured at the final control

element

= Stopping/run-down time of the control system

= Response time of the entire protective device after light path interruption

= Additional response time allowed for brake monitor to compensate for wear

Note

Any additional response times must be accounted for in this calculation.

= An additional distance added to the overall minimum distance required. This

value is based on a possible intrusion toward the hazardous point prior to actu-

ation of the electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE). For applications that can be reached over, the value D

= 1.2 m. For beam arrangements that permit

reaching in with the arms or the detectable object size is greater than 63 mm, the value D

= 0.9 m.

 Once the system is mounted, one or several of the enclosed self-adhesive information

labels must be affixed:

– Use only information labels in the language which the users and operators of the

machine understand.

– Affix the information labels such that they are easily visible by the users and opera-

tors during operation. After attaching additional objects and equipment, the informa-

tion labels must not be concealed from view.

– Affix the information label “Important Notices” to the system in close proximity to

sender and receiver.

 When mounting a M4000 with integrated laser alignment aid, ensure that the laser

warning labels on the device remain visible. If the laser warning labels are covered, e.g.

on installation of the M4000 in a device column (accessory), you must apply the laser warning labels supplied with the receiver in the appropriate place on the cover.

he external device monitoring (EDM) checks if the contactors actually de-energize when

the protective device responds. If, after an attempted reset, the EDM does not detect a response from the switched devices within 300 ms, the EDM will deactivate the output

signal switching devices again.

Fig. 55: Connecting the contact elements to the EDM

Notes

You must implement the external device monitoring electrically by the positively guided closing action of both N/C contacts (k1, k2) when the contact elements (K1, K2) reach

their de-energized position after the protective device has responded. 24 V is then applied at the input of the EDM. If 24 V is not present after the response of the protective device,

then one of the contact elements is faulty and the external device monitoring prevents the machine starting up again.

 If you connect the contact elements to be monitored to the EDM input, then you must

activate the option EDM in the CDS (Configuration & Diagnostic Software). If not, the device will show the error .

Using sens:Control, the intelligent interface technology for safety systems, SICK provides you with an entire range of interface products that were specially developed for interfacing

safety products and machines.

For complex applications the M4000 can be integrated into UE100 sens:Control family

safety systems. In this way the functions of the multiple light beam safety device can be enhanced and corresponding applications realised.

All variants of the M4000 Advanced, M4000 Advanced A/P and M4000 Area 60/80 are equipped with EFI (safe SICK device communication). All safety-relevant signals are trans-

mitted using this interface. A bus interface to a safe fieldbus is possible using the series UE1000 sens:Control device family.

9.2 Alignment of the M4000

After the multiple light beam safety device has been mounted and connected, you must align the sender and receiver precisely in relation to each other.

Alignment is performed by mechanically adjusting the M4000 components. During this process the M4000 is in the alignment mode. You can then see when the optimal align-

ment is achieved on the 7Esegment display on the receiver.

The alignment mode is automatically activated when the multiple light beam safety device

is switched on if the light beams are not yet aligned or the light path is interrupted.

Alignment aids

You can conveniently and accurately align the devices using a laser alignment aid. An alignment aid is recommended particularly when a M4000 system is used with deflector

mirrors (each mirror on the mirror columns must be adjusted).

The following alignment aids are available:

 integrated laser alignment aid per beam (optional, only for M4000 Advanced)

9.2.3 Special aspects of alignment with deflector mirrors

If you use the M4000 multiple light beam safety device with deflector mirrors (mirror columns), then you must note the following points when aligning the mirrors:

1. On the deflection of several beams using a mirror column, each individual mirror must be adjusted separately.

2. For deflection using mirrors, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. This means: A slight rotation of the mirror results in a change that is twice as large

(see Fig. 61).

If the light beam is guided to the receiver using a deflector mirror, only part of the origi-

nal diverging beam is passed on.

The alignment tolerance will become smaller with each further deflection (see Fig. 62).

Recommendation

Always use an alignment aid when aligning the M4000 Advanced with deflector mirrors (see section “Alignment aids” on page 90).

(

The multiple light beam safety device is equipped with an integrated laser alignment aid of

aser class 2.

Never look directly into the laser beam! Do not point the laser at a person’s eye at close range!

WARNING

The laser beam is not dangerous for the eye in case of accidental, brief exposure (< 0.25

suppressed. If the laser beam falls on your eye, you must consciously close your eyes or turn away immediately.

Do not use any other controls or adjustments!

Caution! Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those

herein specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Laser Notice No. 50, June 24, 2007

Notes

The M4000 Advanced multiple light beam safety device is available with an integrated

laser alignment aid as an extra.

The laser alignment aid in conjunction with the indications on the 7Esegment display

enables you to precisely adjust and align the multiple light beam safety device. The aid comprises a laser per light beam (in the receiver) as well as a laser deflector mirror and a

transparent display screen (in the sender).

The laser alignment aid is activated automatically when the M4000 Advanced is switched

on if the light beams are not yet aligned or if the light path is interrupted.

 Always align the beams individually and in the following order: first beam, second

beam …, last beam (starting at the 7 segment display). When aligning the second and all further beams, it may occur that the laser beams for beams already aligned (e.g. the

first beam) are no longer incident to the target on the alignment template (when this is fitted again). This situation has no effect on the accuracy of the overall alignment. I.e.

beams already correctly aligned (e.g. first beam) do not need to be re-aligned after the alignment of the next beam (e.g. second beam), even if the laser beam for the beam

previously aligned deviates from the target on the alignment template.

 If the multiple light beam safety device is in the lockEout status when switched on (see

section “The lockE out status” on page 105), the laser alignment aid is not activated.

 The laser alignment aid switches off automatically, …

– if the LED  Green on the receiver (light path unoccupied and optimal alignment) is

on without interruption for more than 2 minutes.

– independent of the state after 60 minutes.

alignment process, the outputs of the multiple light beam safety device are not allowed to

have any effect on the machine.

How to align the M4000 Advanced with the aid of the integrated alignment aid:

 Check with a spirit level whether the devices and the deflector mirrors, if used, are

mounted vertically.

 Check whether the following points are the same distance from the floor:

– first beam of the sender

– first beam of the receiver

– when using deflector mirrors: centre of the first mirror surface

 Loosen the clamping bolts which hold the multiple light beam safety device in place.

 Adhere the alignment template for mirrors to the individual mirror on the mirror pillar

that is used to deflect the beam to be aligned. If you start the alignment with the first beam as per these instructions, this is the bottom mirror on the mirror pillar

(see Fig. 64).

 Activate the laser alignment aid by switching on the power supply to the multiple light

beam safety device.

Note

You can also activate and deactivate the laser alignment aid via the CDS.

 Rotate the receiver until the alignment beam is incident in the centre of the hole in the

alignment template (see Fig. 64). If further mirror columns are used, use the alignment

template for all further mirrors on the mirror columns.

Note

If you do not use an alignment template, the alignment beam must be incident approx.

23.5 mm above the centre of the mirror.
