Safety light curtain type 4 LEUZE ELECTRONIC
PROFIsafe

Leuze lumiflex has extended its delivery range of safety sensor technology with the integrated PROFIsafe interface. In addition to the type 3 safety laser scanner, RS4-4/PROFIsafe, a type 4 safety light curtain with integrated PROFIsafe interface is now also available with the COMPACTplus/PROFIsafe. The PROIBUS DP bus activation is performed here directly and without additional bus coupling modules. With a data transfer rate of up to 12 MBd, both the safe cyclic and the acyclic data traffic are supported on the PROFIBUS DP. Rapid safety-relevant real-time data, such as a switch-off command when operating the sensor and comprehensive diagnostics data with the controlling PLC, for example, can consequently be exchanged. COMPACTplus/PROFIsafe meets the requirements of SIL 3 in accordance with IEC 61508 and is available with the blanking, muting and cycle control function packages. The individual adjustment of the functions is performed via the optical PC interface of the receiver with “teach-in” and with the aid of the convenient diagnostics and parametering software, SafetyLab.
