OUTLINE
3
●
This is the application expansion unit which can control three differ-
ent safety outputs in combination with the light curtain.
It exhibits the following features:
1) Either PNP or NPN output can be selected with the slide switch.
2) It can be connected to the light curtain using the exclusive 8-core
connection cable with connectors.
3) A detachable spring gauge terminal is employed.
4)
The three auxiliary outputs (muting output, override output and blown
lamp output) and the auxiliary output of the light curtain are incorporated.
5) The interference prevention wiring among the light curtains is pos-
sible. Maximumly three sets in series / parallel mixed connection can
be configured with the interference prevention system. The number of
total beam channels in series / parallel mixed connection is 192 max.
6) The product enables to set each function using the handy control-
ler
SFB-HC
(Ver. 2 or later) (optional). Refer to “
