Smart Box Detection
Overview
Smart Box Detection enables human-material differentiation by conveying only geomet‐
rically uniform objects to or from a plant or machine.
The protective field always remains active, meaning interruption in the protective
field above an object is reliably detected by the protective device and the dangerous
machine state is stopped.
Smart Box Detection can only be configured on safety light curtains with a 14 mm
resolution.

Important information
NOTE
Smart Box Detection is only available on devices with the range of functions 1.1.0,
"Version numbers and range of functions", page 140
Prerequisites
•
The objects cast a rectangular shadow without gaps (geometrically uniform
objects) when passing through the protective field.
•
The objects must have a defined minimum height and minimum width and main‐
tain a defined minimum distance from each other.
•
The object velocity is 0.1 m/s ... 1 m/s.
•
The safety light curtain is mounted perpendicular to the conveyor plane for opti‐
mum availability.
•
The lower edge of the housing is flush with the transport level.
