$$' 0
The safety light curtain C 4000 is an electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE). The
physical resolution is 14 or 30 mm with a maximum protective field width of 6 metres. The
realisable protective field height is between 300 and 1,800 mm for the C 4000 Basic and
between 300 and 1,200 mm for the C 4000 Micro.
The device is a Type 4 ESPE as defined by IEC 61 496-1 and -2 and is therefore allowed for
use with controls in safety category 4 in compliance with EN 954-1. The device is suitable
for
Hazardous point protection (finger and hand protection)
Hazardous area protection
Access protection
Access to the hazardous point must be allowed only through the protective field. The
plant/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 10 for an illustration of the
protection modes.

' ' 2
An opto-electronic protective device provides indirect protection, e.g., by switching off the
WARNING 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 safety light curtain.

/ The safety light curtain C 4000 Basic or C 4000 Micro operates as a standalone system,
comprising a sender and receiver. It cannot be combined with other C 4000 systems, e.g.

The protective field width is derived from the dimension of the light path between sender
and receiver and must not exceed the maximum rated protective field width (see
“Technical specifications” on page 40).
Sender and receiver automatically synchronise themselves optically. An electrical connec-
tion between both components is not required.
The C 4000 is modular in structure. All optical and electronic components and assemblies
are housed in a slim and torsionally rigid housing.

The C 4000 Micro has an internal restart interlock. The dangerous state of the machine
( ) is interrupted if the light path is broken ( ), and is not re-enabled ( ) until the opera-
tor presses the reset button.
/ The C 4000 Basic has no internal restart interlock. If you use the C 4000 Basic, then you
must implement the restart interlock externally, i.e. on the machine.
Do not confuse the restart interlock with the starting interlock on the machine. The start
interlock prevents the machine starting after switching on. The restart interlock prevents
the machine starting again after an error or an interruption in the light path.
When using the C 4000 Micro, you can implement the restart interlock in two different
ways:
With the internal restart interlock of the C 4000 Micro:
The C 4000 Micro controls the restart.
With the restart interlock of the machine (external):
The C 4000 Micro has no control over the restart.
The possible combinations are shown in the following table:

Ensure that there is always a restart interlock. The C 4000 is unable to verify if the restart
interlock of the machine is operable. If you deactivate both the internal and the machine’s
WARNING restart interlock, the operators of the machine will be at an acute risk of injury.

The electrical connection of the reset button is described in chapter “Reset button” on
page 29.

If you want to activate the restart interlock on the C 4000 Micro (internal) and also a
restart interlock on the machine (external), then each restart interlock has its own button.
When actuating the reset button (for the internal restart interlock)
the C 4000 Micro activates the switching outputs
the safety light curtain changes from red to green
Only the external restart interlock prevents the machine from restarting. After pressing the
reset button for the C 4000 Micro, the operator must also press the restart button for
the machine. If the reset button and the restart button are not pressed in the specified
sequence, the dangerous state remains disrupted.
5 The reset button prevents the accidental and inadvertent operation of the external restart
button. The operator must first acknowledge the dangerous state with the reset button.
The electrical connection of the reset button is described in chapter “Reset button” on
page 29. The configuration of the reset button is described in chapter 7.2 “Activating the
restart interlock” on page 35.

The external device monitoring (EDM) checks if the contactors actually de-energise when
the protective device responds. If you activate external device monitoring, then the C 4000
checks the contactors after each interruption to the light path and prior to machine restart.
The EDM can so identify if one of the contactors has fused, for instance. In this case
the error message appears in the 7-segment display
the safety light curtain remains red
with the internal restart interlock activated, the safety light curtain uses the flashing LED
Yellow to signal “Reset required”
/ If the system is unable to change to a safe operational state (e.g. after contactor failure),
the system locks and shuts down completely (“Lock-out”). The 7-segment display will then
show the error message .
The electrical connection for the external device monitoring is described in chapter
“External device monitoring (EDM)” on page 28. The configuration of the external device
monitoring is described in chapter 7.4 “Start-up configuration” on page 35.

/ The following calculation shows an example calculation of the safety distance. Depending
on the application and the ambient conditions, a different calculation may be necessary.
First, calculate S using the following formula:
S = 2000 × T + 8 × (d – 14) [mm]
Where …
T = Stopping/run-down time of the machine
+ Response time of the protective device after light path interruption [s]
d = Resolution of the light curtain [mm]
S = Safety distance [mm]
The reach/approach speed is already included in the formula.
If the result S is 500 mm, then use the determined value as the safety distance.
If the result S is > 500 mm, then recalculate S as follows:
S = 1600 × T + 8 × (d – 14) [mm]
If the new value S is > 500 mm, then use the newly determined value as the minimum
safety distance.
If the new value S is 500 mm, then use 500 mm as the minimum safety distance.
(- $' A
Stopping/run-down time of the machine = 290 ms
Response time after light path interruption = 30 ms
Resolution of the light curtain = 14 mm
T = 290 ms + 30 ms = 320 ms = 0.32 s
S = 2000 × 0.32 + 8 × (14 – 14) = 640 mm
S > 500 mm, therefore:
S = 1600 × 0.32 + 8 × (14 – 14) = 512 mm

The following calculation shows an example calculation of the safety distance. Depending
on the application and the ambient conditions, a different calculation may be necessary.
Calculate Ds using the following formula:
Ds = Hs × (Ts + Tc +Tr + Tbm) + Dpf
Where …
Ds = The minimum distance in inches (or millimetres) from the hazardous point to the
protective device
Hs = A parameter in inches/second or millimetres/second, derived from data on
approach speeds of the body or parts of the body. Often 63 inches/second
(1600 millimetres/second) is used for Hs.
Ts = Stopping/run down time of the machine tool measured at the final control
element
Tc = Stopping/run-down time of the control system
Tr = Response time of the entire protective device after light path interruption
Tbm = Additional response time allowed for brake monitor to compensate for wear
Any additional response times must be accounted for in this calculation.
Dpf = An additional distance added to the overall safety distance required. This value is
based on intrusion toward the hazardous point prior to actuation of the electro-
sensitive protective equipment (ESPE). Values range from 0.25 inches to 48 inches
(6 millimetres to 1220 millimeters) or more depending on application.
$3 4 2
In opto-electronic protecting, such as with a perpendicular safety light curtain
applications with object sensitivity (effective resolution) less than 2.5 inches
(64 millimetres), the Dpf can be approximated based on the following formula:
Dpf (inches) = 3.4 × (Object Sensitivity – 0.276), but not less than 0.

The light beams from the sender may be deflected by reflective surfaces. This can result in
failure to identify an object.
All reflective surfaces and objects (e.g. material bins) must therefore be located at a mini-

Always mount the sender and receiver parallel to one another.
WARNING During mounting, make sure that sender and receiver are aligned correctly. The optical
lens systems of sender and receiver must be located in exact opposition to each other;
the display elements must be mounted at the same height. The system plugs of both
devices must point in the same direction.
Take suitable measures to attenuate vibration if the shock requirements are above the
values given in chapter 10.1 “Data sheet” on page 42.
Observe the safety distance of the system during mounting. On this topic read the
chapter “Determining the safety distance” on page 17.
Mount the safety light curtain such that the hazardous point cannot be reached from
below, above or behind the safety light curtain and that the light curtain cannot be
repositioned.

understand.
– Affix the information labels such that they are easily visible by the operators during
operation. After attaching additional objects and equipment, the information labels
must not be concealed from view.
– Affix the information label “Important Notices” to the system in close proximity to
sender and receiver.

You must implement the external device monitoring electrically by the positive closing
action of both N/C contacts (k1, k2) when the contact elements (K1, K2) reach their de-
energised 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 the contact elements to be monitored are connected to the external device monitoring
(EDM) input, then the safety light curtain activates external device monitoring during the
next start-up and saves this configuration in the device.
You can again deactivate the external device monitoring at a later time by using the
start-up configuration (see section 7.4 “Start-up configuration” on page 35). In this case,
pin 6 (C 4000 Basic) and pin 4 (C 4000 Micro), respectively, must not be connected to
24 V.

When using C 4000 Micro (see section 3.4.1 “Restart interlock” on page 11), the operator
must press the reset button prior to restart.
/ The C 4000 Basic does not have an internal restart interlock. If you use the C 4000 Basic,
then you must implement the restart interlock externally, i.e. on the machine.

6)
In the case of a fault (0 V cable open circuit) the max. leakage current flows in the OSSD cable. The down-
stream controller must detect this status as LOW. A safe PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) must be able to
identify this status.
7)
The maximum rated load inductance is higher with lower switching sequence.

8)
When active, the outputs are tested cyclically (brief LOW). When selecting the downstream controllers, make
sure that the test pulses do not result in deactivation when using the above parameters.
9)
Make sure to limit the individual cable resistance to the downstream controller to this value to ensure that a
cross-circuit between the outputs is safely detected. (Also note EN 60 204 Electrical Machine Equipment,
Part 1: General Requirements.)

/ Two additional front screens (weld spark guards) supplied for each part number.
The additional front screen fits both on the sender and on the receiver.
The additional front screen may be used only if the curved enclosure side is accessible.
An additional front screen reduces the scanning range of the system by 8 %. If sender
and receiver each use an additional front screen, the scanning range will be reduced by
16 %.

The details on the items listed below must be available at the latest when the system is commissioned for the first
time, depending, however, on the various applications the requirements of which must be reviewed by the manufac-
turer/OEM.
This checklist should be retained and kept with the machine documentation to serve as reference during recurring
tests.
1. Have the safety rules and regulations been observed in compliance with the Yes No
directives/standards applicable to the machine?
2. Are the applied directives and standards listed in the declaration of conformity? Yes No
3. Does the protective device comply with the required control category? Yes No
4. Is the access to the hazardous area/hazardous point only possible through the protective field Yes No
of the ESPE?
5. Have appropriate measures been taken to prevent (mechanical point-of-operation guarding) or Yes No
monitor unprotected presence in the hazardous area when protecting a hazardous
area/hazardous point and have these been secured against removal?
6. Are additional mechanical protective measures fitted and secured against manipulation which Yes No
prevent reaching below, above or behind the ESPE?
7. Has the maximum stopping and/or run-down time of the machine been measured, specified and Yes No
documented (at the machine and/or in the machine documentation)?
8. Has the ESPE been mounted such that the required safety distance from the nearest hazardous Yes No
point has been achieved?
9. Are the ESPE devices correctly mounted and secured against manipulation after adjustment? Yes No
10. Are the required protective measures against electric shock in effect (protection class)? Yes No
11. Is the control switch for resetting the protective devices (ESPE) or restarting the machine Yes No
present and correctly installed?
12. Are the outputs of the ESPE (OSSDs) integrated in compliance with the required control category Yes No
and does the integration comply with the circuit diagrams?
13. Has the protective function been checked in compliance with the test notes of this Yes No
documentation?
14. Are the given protective functions effective at every setting of the operating mode selector Yes No
switch?
15. Are the switching elements activated by the ESPE, e.g. contactors, valves, monitored? Yes No
16. Is the ESPE effective over the entire period of the dangerous state? Yes No
17. Once initiated, will a dangerous state be stopped when switching the ESPE on or off and when Yes No
changing the operating mode, or when switching to another protective device?
18. Has the information label “Important Information” for the daily check been attached so that it is Yes No
well visible for the operator?
This checklist does not replace the initial commissioning, nor the regular inspection by specialist personnel.
