Introduction
A bidirectional, four-sensor, T-type muting system lets valid loads or objects pass through its light
curtains in either direction without shutting down the machine or process, but will stop the
machine or process if anything or anyone attempts to move past the light curtain in any other
manner. This type of system is often used to guard the access point at a hazardous portion of a
machine or process where material must pass either into or out of the guarded area, such as an
automatic palletizing system or automatic assembly machine. This Connected Components
Building Block is intended to ease the installation, configuration, and implementation of such a
system.

considered and to confirm that the example circuit provides adequate risk reduction for your
specific application.
