Chapter 4 Operating Instructions

C4000 Standard/Advanced

Subject to change without notice

Configurable functions

This is how you teach-in a blanked area:

 Set the teach-in key-operated switch to the “Teach-in” position.

he safety light curtain changes to red.

 Guide the object or objects into the protective field.

You must guide an object of suitable size into the protective field for all blanked areas.

There must be no other objects in the protective field.

 Press the reset button for at least 0.2 seconds.

After the button is released, the C4000 Advanced saves the interrupted part of the pro-

tective field as a blanked area. The 7Csegment display on the receiver indicates  if the

objects represent valid areas to be blanked.

If the number or arrangement of the objects does not match the configured areas for

the individual system, or the necessary minimum distance is not met, then the old areas

for the system remain valid. In this case the 7C segment display on the receiver indicates

. You can correct the arrangement and repeat the step.

 Set the teach-in key-operated switch back to the “Operation” position, and remove the

key. The safety light curtain performs a switch on cycle (see page 63) and is ready for

use.

Test the protective device after teach-in!

 Test the entire protective device for effectiveness (see 7.3 on page 64).

 Check whether the safety light curtain behaves as expected when you introduce the

object into the protective field, remove it again, or operate the system without the

object.

 If required, recalculate the minimum distance and readjust it on the machine.

With the aid of the CDS diagnostics function, you can check whether defined areas have

been changed using teach-in. Menu Project, Connect. Then device symbol for the related

system, context menu Diagnostics, Show.

4.9 Reduced resolution

The reduced resolution function is only available on the C4000 Advanced.

Under reduced resolution, the safety light curtain ignores the interruption of 1, 2 or 3

adjacent beams. Objects which are not larger than specified in Tab. 13 may be moved

through the safety light curtain without the light curtain changing to red (Fig. 20, 

and ).
