3 Product description

This chapter provides information on the operation of the safety light curtain and showsexamples of its range of use.

3.1 Setup and function

The mac4 safety light curtain is an electro-sensitive protective device (ESPE) consistingof a sender and a receiver.

A series of parallel infrared light beams form a protective field between sender andreceiver that protects the hazardous area (hazardous point and access protection).When one or more beams are completely interrupted, the safety light curtain reportsthe interruption in the light path to the secure output signal switching devices (OSSDs)by a signal change. The machine or its control must safely analyze the signals (e.g., viaa safety controller or via safety relays) and stop the dangerous state.

Sender and receiver automatically synchronize themselves electrically. An electricalconnection between both components is, therefore, required.

Sender

Receiver

Figure 1: Sender and receiver

Protective field height

The protective field height indicates the range in which the test rod belonging to thesafety light curtain is detected. The size of the safety light curtain determines the pro‐tective field height. The design and construction of the mac4 safety light curtainextends the protective function of a device to the end of the housing without any blindzones.

Protective field width

The protective field width is the dimension of the light path between sender andreceiver. The maximum protective field width is limited by the scanning range.

Page 12: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS mac4 - SICK

Resolution

The resolution describes the size of the smallest object detected by the safety light cur‐tain in the protective field. The resolution corresponds to the diameter of the test rodbelonging to the safety light curtain, which is reliably detected when in the protectivefield.

With the available resolution options of 17 mm and 30 mm, the safety light curtainallows detection of different sized objects and specific adaptation of the minimum dis‐tances to the hazardous point. More information about the minimum distance: see"Minimum distance from the hazardous point", page 17.

Information on protective field height, resolution and protective field range: see "Datasheet", page 51.

Scanning range

The scanning range limits the maximum protective field width, see "Technical data",page 51. The scanning range is reduced by using deflector mirrors.

3.2 Product characteristics

3.2.1 Modular design

The safety light curtain is modular. The base modules of the sender and receiver can beextended with extension modules to increase the protective field height. For intermedi‐ate sizes, an end module can be used instead of the last extension module, whichmeans that the system can be flexibly adapted to the requirements defined by theapplication.

An extension module or an end module is simply attached to a base module or to anextension module that has already been attached. If the base module only is used oran extension module is used as the last module, an end cap is attached. The tightnessrequired by the enclosure rating and the electrical connection of the modules are onlyestablished by putting them together – no additional cabling between the modules isrequired. The system is thus easily and quickly installed and put into operation.

3.2.2 Absence of blind zones

The design and construction of the safety light curtain extends the protective functionof a device to the end of the housing without any blind spots. The absence of blindzones reduces the space requirement when integrated in the machine.

3.2.3 Automatic calibration of the protective field width

When switched on, the safety light curtain automatically calibrates to the protectivefield width.

Automatic adjustment of the signal level to the distance between sender and receiverallows the safety light curtain to operate without fault in many cases, even when sev‐eral systems are operated in close proximity.

3.2.4 Status indicators

The sender and receiver LEDs indicate the operational status of the safety light curtain.

DANGERHazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective devicePersons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of non-observance.

b Make sure that the following design requirements are met such that the safetylight curtain can fulfill its protective function.

° Sender and receiver must be arranged such that persons or parts of the bodyare reliably detected when they enter the hazardous area.

° Reaching under, over, and around as well as moving the safety light curtainmust be prevented.

° If people can stop between the protective device and the hazardous pointwithout being detected, check if additional protective measures (e.g., restartinterlock) are required.

4.3.1 Scanning range and protective field width

Scanning range

The scanning range limits the maximum protective field width, see "Technical data",page 51. The protective field width cannot change during operation.

The scanning range is reduced by using deflector mirrors.

Protective field width

The protective field width is the dimension of the light path between sender andreceiver.

The protective field width is automatically calibrated when the safety light curtain isswitched on during initialization and must not be changed during operation.

DANGERHazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective devicePersons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of non-observance.

b The safety light curtain can only be mounted on machines on which the protectivefield width does not change when the safety light curtain is switched on.

4.3.2 Minimum distance from the hazardous point

A minimum distance must be maintained between the safety light curtain and the haz‐ardous point. This distance is required to prevent a person or part of the body fromreaching the hazardous area before the end of the dangerous state of the machine.

DANGERHazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective deviceIn the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machinemay not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.

b Calculate the required minimum distance for your machine.b Mount the safety light curtain taking this calculation into account.

Position of the protective field in relation to the housing

The optical axis (position of the protective field) is not in the center of the housing,rather offset by 7 mm to the housing edge.

Figure 5: Position of the protective field in relation to the housing

figure 5 shows a standard mounting situation. As viewed by the operator, the sender ison the right and the receiver on the left with the direction of the cable outlet pointingdownwards. In this mounting situation, the optical axis is on the operator side. The dis‐tances to the hazardous point is increased. The fulfillment by design of the requiredminimum distances is facilitated.

If a different mounting situation is selected, where the optical axis is located on theside of the hazardous point, the reduced distance to the hazardous point must betaken into account when maintaining the minimum distance.

Calculate minimum distance

The calculation of the minimum distance is based on international and national stand‐ards and statutory requirements applicable at the place of installation of the machine.

If the minimum distance is calculated according to ISO 13855, then it depends on thefollowing points:

• Machine stopping time (time interval between triggering the sensor function andthe end of the dangerous state of the machine)

• Response time of the protective device see "Response time", page 53• Reach or approach speed of the person• Resolution (detection capability) of the mac4 safety light curtain• Type of approach: orthogonal or parallel• Parameters specified based on the application

For the USA (scope of OSHA and ANSI), the following regulations apply among others:

a) Laws: Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29 (CFR29) Part 1910.217

b) Standards: ANSI B11.19

behind the protective device.

Calculation example of the minimum distance S according to ISO 13855

The example shows the calculation of the minimum distance for orthogonal approachto the protective field. Depending on the application and the ambient conditions (e.g., aprotective field parallel or at an arbitrary angle to the direction of approach or an indi‐rect approach), a different calculation may be required.

1. First, calculate S using the following formula:S = 2,000 mm/s × T + 8 × (d – 14 mm)Where:

° S = minimum distance in millimeters (mm)

° T = machine stopping time + response time of the protective device afterinterruption in the light path in seconds (s)

° d = resolution of the safety light curtain in millimeters (mm)The reach/approach speed is already included in the formula.

2. If the result S is ≤ 500 mm, then use the determined value as the minimum dis‐tance.

8014264/YUP1/2016-04-06 | SICK O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S | mac4 19Subject to change without notice

Page 20: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS mac4 - SICK

3. If the result S is > 500 mm, then recalculate S as follows:S = 1,600 mm/s × T + 8 × (d – 14 mm)

4. If the new value S is > 500 mm, then use the newly determined value as the mini‐mum distance.

5. If the new value S is ≤ 500 mm, then use 500 mm.

Example calculation

Machine stopping time = 290 ms

Response time after interruption of the light path = 30 ms

Resolution of the safety light curtain = 30 mm

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

S = 2000 × 0.32 + 8 × (30 – 14) = 768 mm

S > 500 mm, therefore:

S = 1600 × 0.32 + 8 × (30 – 14) = 640 mm

Taking reaching over into account

If access to the hazardous area cannot be ruled out by reaching over a vertical protec‐tive field, the height of the protective field and minimum distance of the electro-sensi‐tive protective device must be determined. This is done by comparing the calculatedvalues based on the possible detection of limbs or body parts with the values resultingfrom reaching over the protective field. The greater value resulting from this comparisonmust be used.

Figure 7: Representation of the accessibility of electro-sensitive protective device by reachingover. Left: Protective field that cannot be reached over. Right: Protective field that can bereached over.

4.3.3 Minimum distance to reflective surfaces

DANGERHazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective deviceReflective surfaces and dispersive media can prevent persons or parts of the body tobe protected from being properly reflected and, therefore, remain undetected.

b Make sure that all reflective surfaces and objects maintain a minimum distancefrom the protective field.

b Make sure that no dispersive media (e.g., dust, fog, or smoke) are within the calcu‐lated minimum distance from the protective field.

The light beams from the sender may be deflected by reflective surfaces and dispersivemedia. This may prevent an object from being detected.

All reflective surfaces and objects (e.g., material bins, machine table, etc.) must there‐fore maintain a minimum distance (a) from the protective field. This minimum distance(a) must be maintained on all sides of the protective field. This applies in horizontal,vertical, and diagonal directions, as well as at the end of the safety light curtain. Thesame area must be free from dispersive media (e.g., dust, fog, or smoke).

The minimum distance (a) depends on the distance (D) between sender and receiver(protective field width).

Figure 10: Preventing mutual interference from system 1 and system 2

The infrared light beams of the sender of system 1 can interfere with the receiver ofsystem 2. This can disrupt the protective function of system 2. This would mean thatthe operator is at risk.

The mac4 safety light curtain has automatic signal level adjustment that allows fault-free operation of adjacent systems in many cases.

If fault-free operation is still not possible, take appropriate action, e.g., mount opticallyopaque partitions or reverse the direction of transmission of a system.

In the figure, the direction of transmission of systems in close proximity to each other isreversed. System 2 is not affected by the beams of system 1.

4.3.5 Mounting surface requirements

In the case of direct mounting, the modules are not aligned after mounting.

In the case of direct mounting, the mounting surfaces must be sufficiently flat and par‐allel so that the sender and receiver are in alignment with each other after mountingwithout any further adjustment. The angular displacement should not exceed 1°, seefigure 12.

4.4 Integration in the electrical control

This chapter contains important information about integration in the electrical control.Information about the individual steps for electrical installation of the device: see "Elec‐trical installation", page 37.

Requirements for use

The output signals of the protective device must be evaluated by downstream control‐lers such that the dangerous state of the machine can be reliably brought to an end.Depending on the safety concept, the signals are evaluated either with a safety relay ora safety controller, for example.

DANGERHazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective deviceIn the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machinemay not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.

b Make sure that the following control and electrical requirements are met such thatthe safety light curtain can fulfill its protective function.

• The control of the machine must allow electrical interference.• The electrical control of the machine must meet the requirements of IEC 60204-1.• A restart interlock must be implemented depending on applicable national regula‐

tions or required reliability of the safety function. Because the safety light curtaindoes not have this function, it must be implemented in the external control ifrequired.

• When using a safety controller, different signal levels of both OSSDs must bedetected depending on applicable national regulations or required reliability of thesafety function. The maximum time discrepancy time tolerated by the controllermust be selected according to the application.

• The OSSD1 and OSSD2 output signals must not be connected to each other.• In the machine controller, the signals of both OSSDs must be processed sepa‐

rately.

• The machine must switch to the safe state at any time if at least one of the twoOSSDs switches to the OFF state.

• Prevent the formation of a potential difference between the load and the protec‐tive device. If you connect loads to the OSSDs (safety outputs) that then alsoswitch if controlled with negative voltage, you must connect the 0 V connections ofthese loads and those of the corresponding protective device individually anddirectly to the same 0 V terminal strip. In the event of a fault, this is the only way toensure that there can be no potential difference between the 0 V connections ofthe loads and those of the corresponding protective device.

Figure 17: No potential difference between load and protective device

• For compatibility with safety controllers or relays, note the requirements for loadcapacity and inductance, see "Data sheet", page 51 For example, the FlexiSoftFX3-XTDI80002 and FlexiSoft FX3-XTIO84002 safety controllers andUE48-2OS2D2, UE48-2OS3D2, UE48-3OS2D2, and UE48-3OS3D2 safety relayseach with a connecting cable up to 10 m in length are suitable.

DANGERHazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective deviceIn the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machinemay not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.Downstream contactors must be positively guided and monitored depending on appli‐cable national regulations or required reliability of the safety function.

b Make sure that downstream contactors are monitored (external device monitoring,EDM).

b Because the safety light curtain does not have external device monitoring, it mustbe implemented in the external control if required.

Requirements for the electrical control of the machine

The two outputs are short-circuit protected against 24 V DC and 0 V. When the protec‐tive field is clear, the OSSDs are in the on state and the signal level is HIGH (non-iso‐lated). In the event of an interruption to the light path or a device error, the OSSDs arein the off state, the signal level is LOW (over 2 kΩ against 0 V).

The safety light curtain complies with the rules for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)for the industrial sector (Radio Safety Class A). Radio interference cannot be ruled outwhen used in residential areas.

DANGERHazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective deviceIn the case of non-compliance, it is possible that the dangerous state of the machinemay not be stopped or not stopped in a timely manner.

b Make sure that the following control and electrical requirements are met such thatthe safety light curtain can fulfill its protective function.

• The external voltage supply of the safety light curtain must be capable of bufferingbrief power failures of 20 ms as specified in IEC 60204-1.

• The power supply unit must ensure safe isolation according to IEC 61140(SELV/PELV). Suitable power supply units are available as accessories from SICK,see "Accessories", page 57.

4.4.1 Restart interlock

A restart interlock must be implemented depending on applicable national regulationsor required reliability of the safety function.

The restart interlock prevents the machine from automatically starting up, for exampleafter a protective device has responded while the machine is operating or after chang‐ing the machine’s operating mode.

Before the machine can be restarted, the operator must reset the restart interlock.

Figure 18: Schematic representation of operation with restart interlock

The dangerous state of the machine 1 is brought to an end if the light path is inter‐rupted 2 and is not re-enabled 3 until the operator presses the reset pushbuttonlocated outside the hazardous area 4. The machine can then be restarted.

Depending on the applicable national regulations, there must be a restart interlock if aperson can stand behind the protective field. Observe IEC 60204-1.

The safety light curtain does not have an internal restart interlock. If required, a restartinterlock must therefore be implemented externally via the circuitry or the control, e.g.,in connection with the SICK switching amplifier UE48-2OS/UE48-3OS.

4.4.2 External device monitoring (EDM)

Verification of the external switching elements (external device monitoring, EDM) mustbe implemented depending on applicable national regulations or required reliability ofthe safety function.

The external device monitoring (EDM) monitors the status of downstream contactors.

In order to use the external device monitoring, positively guided contactors must beused to switch off the machine. If the auxiliary contacts of the positively guided contac‐tors are connected to the external device monitoring, the external device monitoringchecks whether the contactors drop off when the OSSDs are switched off.

NOTEBecause the safety light curtain does not have integrated external device monitoring,this must be implemented in the external control, if required.

The mac4 safety light curtain can be connected to the UE48-2OS switching amplifiers.It is operated with restart interlock and external device monitoring.

Functionality

When the protective field is clear, the OSSD1 and OSSD2 outputs carry voltage. Thesystem can be switched on when K1 and K2 are in the de-energized position. Pressingthe S1 button switches on the UE48 switching amplifier. Contacts 13-14 and 23-24 ofthe UE48 activate the K1 and K2 contactors.

When the protective field is interrupted, the OSSD1 and OSSD2 outputs carry no volt‐age. The UE48 switches off and K1, K2 are deactivated.

Fault analysis

Failure of K1 and K2 does not cause the loss of the shut-down function. Cross-circuitsand short-circuits of the OSSD1 and OSSD2 outputs are recognized and lead to thelocking state. It is recognized if the K1 or K2 contactors do not de-energize.

b Make sure that the dangerous state of the machine is (and remains) switched offduring the alignment process.

b Make sure that the outputs of the safety light curtain have no effect on themachine during the alignment process.

The alignment bracket makes it possible to rotate the sender and receiver around theaxis of the device, and tilt and shift vertically, in order to align the devices precisely.

You can align the sender and receiver to each other either before or after switching onthe safety light curtain. We recommend aligning the devices before switching on, asseveral set-up procedures run directly after switching on (see "Switching on",page 42).

Figure 28: Align the sender and receiver

Align before switching on

Check the alignment of sender and receiver before switching on using one of the follow‐ing procedures:

b Use the laser alignment aid AR60 with the appropriate adapter.b Use a folding ruler or a tape measure and a water level.

Then switch the safety light curtain on, see "Switching on", page 42.

Align after switching on

If alignment is not possible before switching on, we recommend the following proce‐dure:

1. Loosen the clamping connections that fix the safety light curtain in place.2. Align sender and receiver in relation to each other by eye.3. Turn the receiver clockwise at least 10° away from the sender.4. Switch on the safety light curtain. The white COM LED flashes.5. Turn the receiver slowly in the direction of the sender.

6. As soon as the white COM LED lights up continuously, maintain the position andmark the position of the receiver.

7. Switch off the safety light curtain.8. Repeat steps 3 to 7. First, turn the receiver 10° anti-clockwise. In step 6, re-mark

the position of the receiver at which the COM LED stops flashing and lights up con‐tinuously.

9. Turn the receiver to the mid-point between the two marks.10. Repeat steps 1 to 9 with the sender. Finally, turn the sender to the mid-point

between the two marks.11. Switch off the safety light curtain at the end of the alignment process.12. Re-tighten the clamping connections.13. Then switch the safety light curtain on, see "Switching on", page 42.

7.3 Switching on

When powering up, several automatic adjustment procedures run within a few secondsto establish the operational readiness of the safety light curtain. After switching on, syn‐chronization begins indicated by the flashing COM LED. After synchronization is com‐pleted successfully and signal strength is adequate (mounting surfaces or mechanicalalignment in allowable tolerance range), the COM LED lights up solid white. The dis‐tance (protective field range) is then calibrated and the signal level automaticallyadjusted for this status. When this process is completed successfully, the COM LEDgoes out. The OSSD LEDs from the sender and receiver switch to green, signaling theoperational readiness of the system.

If the OSSD LEDs do not switch to green, there is an error, see "Troubleshooting",page 48.

7.4 Checks

Check the protective device as described below and in accordance with the applicablestandards and regulations.

Checks before initial commissioning/commissioning

b The checks must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qualifiedand authorized personnel, and must be recorded and documented to ensure thatthe tests can be reconstructed and retraced.

b Check the effectiveness of the protective device for all operating modes selectableon the machine according to the checklist in the appendix (see "Checklist for initialcommissioning and commissioning", page 61).

b Make sure that the operating personnel have been instructed in the function ofthe protective device before being allowed to operate the machine. The instructionis the responsibility of the machine operator and must be carried out by qualifiedpersonnel.
