1.1. General description of the safety devices

Safety light curtains from the PSEN op2H series are optoelectronic
safety devices. They secure work areas in which operating personnel
can come into contact with moving parts of machinery, robots and
automated systems in general, which present a risk of physical injury.
Safety light curtains in the PSEN op2H series are designed as safe
Type 2 systems for accident prevention in accordance with applicable
international standards, in particular:
EN 61496-1:
1997
prEN 61496-2:
1997
The device, which consists of a
transmitter and a receiver housed
in robust aluminium profiles,
secures the protected area by
generating an infrared protected
field, defined by the height and
width of that protected field.
Both the control and evaluation
logic are located inside the two
units; the electrical connection is
made via M12 connectors, which
are positioned underneath
profiles. The transmitter
receiver are synchronised optically,
the two units do not have to be
connected directly to each other.
The infrared beams are controlled
and monitored via
microprocessor, which provides the user with information about the
operating status of the light curtain via LED indicators (see Ch. 7,
"Diagnostic functions").
