Light barrier has fail-safe control unit

The light barrier type OSS2 system comprises a fail-safe control unit and a single safety light barrier.

The light barrier type OSS2 system comprises a fail-safe control unit and a single safety light barrier. The German Accident Prevention and Insurance Association has issued the system an EC type examination Type 2 in accordance with EN 61 496-1 / IEC 61 496-2. With a maximum range of 20 m the system is suited for securing complex plants and facilities.

Up to three safety light barriers can be connected to one fail-safe control unit Type 2.

It is possible to, eg, furnish a conveyor system with a three-beam safety barrier.

The system is available for operating voltages from 24 VDC as well as 24, 115 and 230 VAC.

The output circuit has two integrated safety relays with positively driven contacts that securely interrupt the plant in case of danger.

The fail-safe control unit can be programmed on the input side to automatically restart the safety system or to restart manual.

An EDM function monitors the power contactors and a pollution signal makes it easy to carry out preventive maintenance in hazardous areas.

An extensive range of accessories with posts, mirrors etc.

facilitates installation of safety light barriers to existing plants.
