※
1: Reset switch for the override input.
※
2: Use the muting sensors have the same output type (NPN, PNP) and 3-wire transistor output or N.O. contact.
Use sensors that output is ON when detecting an object, and operate in Dark ON mode.
※
3: This wiring is used to activate the lamp output and the external indicator displays a status depending on
the selected output mode.
※
If there is a potential malfunction due to noise, combine a protection circuit to the input wiring, or connect a device with
a protection circuit and apply the signal.
※
RS485(A) and RS485(B) are for the synchronous line.
8. Configuration software, atLightCurtain
atLightCurtain makes you can easily configure the functions of the light curtain and monitor them.
SFLA, the high-performance and advanced, provides safety-related functions in muting, blanking and parameter menus.
Using this, you can make more safe environments for the operators and more effective manufacturing process.
You can monitor your light curtain via atLightCurtain.
•
Incident light level: Easy to adjust, maintain, and manage beams.
•
Wiring and switch: Easy to check the I/O and swtich status of the currently connected wiring.
•
Error and warnings: Help to reduce the time required for troubleshooting by displaying error descriptions.
Administrator login mode allows only authorized person to modify settings so that you can protect and secure it.

USB to Serial connection
You can use “USB to Serial” to communicate with your PC. Connect the light curtain and PC.
SCM-SFL
(USB 2.0)
Receiver
(Master SET)
※
When connecting to a PC in series connection, use the PC conncection terminal at the master set of light curtain.
※
When connecting to a PC, set the setting switch of emitter and receiver to the PC.
※
When you change the detailed function of light curtain via atLightCurtain, be sure to conduct a sufficient risk assessment.
The OSSD output can be switched to ON or OFF state regardless of actual light incident level.
※
In case of the SFLA (advanced type), set the position 8 of setting switches on the emitter and receiver to ON for PC setting.
The SFL (standard type) does not support the position 8 so that the settings of positions 1 to 7 are applied to the light
curtain.
