Calculation formula for safety distance S based on EN 999:
Calculation of the safety distance for a Safety Light Curtain with a resolution of up to
40 mm, used to guard access. The safety distance S is calculated as described by
EN 999 according to the formula:
If the resolution is greater than 40 mm for example for SOLID-2 Safety Light Curtains with a
resolution of 90 mm, an additional amount is required:
The safety distance is thus calculated according to the following formula:
Warning!
Please consider the additional safety instructions for access guarding with SOLID-2 in
Chapter 2.5.
S [mm] = K [mm/s] x T [s] + C [mm]
S = Safety distance in mm
K = Approach speed in mm/s
In the close area of 500 mm, the speed is calculated at 2000 mm/s. If the dis-
tance is greater than 500 mm, K can be calculated as 1600 mm/s. In this case,
however, a minimum of 500 mm applies to the safety distance.
T
= Total time of the delay in seconds;
Total of:
the response time of the protective device t
AOPD
a)
the response time of the safety interface, if any tI
nterface
b)
and the stopping time of the machine t

c)
C = 8 x (d-14) in mm
Additional amount depending on the depth of penetration into the protective
field before turning on the AOPD
d = Resolution of AOPD up to a maximum of
40 mm
