Connected Components Workbench Software
Overview
The Connected Components Workbench™ software can be used to monitor the
450L POC safety light curtains and to configure the 450L-E version of safety
light curtain. The Bulletin 450L POC safety light curtain has two versions:
•
450L-B: Basic ON/OFF
•
450L-E: Enhanced features
The Connected Components Workbench software can only monitor the 450L-
B version of safety light curtain; the 450L-B safety light curtain does not have
configurable parameters. The advantage of the 450L-E safety light curtain is
that the Connected Components Workbench software can monitor and
configure it. Use the Connected Components Workbench software to do the
following:
•
Setup
- Muting
- Floating blanking
- Reduced resolution
- Fixed blanking
- A combination of floating, reduced resolution, and fixed blanking
•
Diagnostics
- Know which beams are blanked or blocked
- Review last 10 lockout codes
•

The Connected Components Workbench software performs its function with
the 450L-OID Optical Interface Device (OID). For more information on the
OID,
Optical Interface Device (OID) on page 106

The initial release of 450L PAC safety light curtain does not support the
Connected Components Workbench software.
