• Maximum operating distance tested indoors. The operating distance of the product varies slightly depending on weather conditions and environments.
• Lineer / Shutter Scan Mode: In this mode, a receiver zone scans a transmitter zone. In addition, when this mode is activated, the shutter mode will also be active. In this mode, the photocell to be used with the shutter will not react to the lowering of the shutter, considering the normal descending times of the shutters, but will react to an obstacle (object) that intervenes in this process. Shutter closing speed for shutter mode max.
• It is designed in a way that 1m / s and cables will come out from the bottom. If the eyes are closed above the specified speed, the system will exit.
• Cross Scan Mode: With this mode, three recipient eyes scan for each transmitter eye. The detection sensitivity of this mode is 2 times higher than the linear mode.
• (For example, if an object with a minimum diameter of 10cm can be detected in linear mode, objects with a minimum diameter of 5cm can be detected when switched to cross mode.)
• Do not forget to disconnect the power to change the system operating modes (Lineer, Cross).

Light Curtain Power Card

• The power card that will control the Light Curtain receiver and transmitter cards is shown in Figure 1.
• On this board, there are various terminal connections, 1 trimpot used for transmitter signal strength adjustment, synchronous cable connection to ensure the harmony between the receiver and transmitter

The terminal group on the power card is divided into 4 parts. The first of these is the power inputs required for the board to work. The terminal group on the power card called the receiver is the part where the receiver photocell connection will be made. In this section, there is a 12V input for feeding the receiver photocell, a synchronous connection that will enable the receiver card to work in harmony with the transmitter card, a mode input that will determine the system’s operating mode (linear or cross), a relay connection to output the system, and a GND connection. Another terminal group on the power card is the relay output of the system called output. The transmitter part on the power card will be used for the connection of the power card with the transmitter photocell. In this section, as in the reciever part, there is a supply voltage input that will enable the system to operate, a synchronous connection that will ensure the system works in harmony, a mode input that will determine the operating mode of the system, a trimpot (POT) connection to adjust the signal strength of the transmitter card, and gnd.

Adjusting the Transmitter signal Strength

Light Curtain With the trimpot shown as POT1 on the power card, you increase the working distance of the Light Curtain with the adjustment you will make in the + direction (clockwise), while the working distance will decrease with the adjustment you make in the – direction (counterclockwise).

The 2 jumpers on the control card have different functions.

These functions are shown below;

• Response time will be short when the system works in Linear mode. However, the detection sensitivity will not be as good as the cross mode.
• For example, while the system detects a minimum 10cm object in linear mode, it will be able to detect a 5cm object in cross mode.
• The response time will be longer when the system is operating in Cross mode. However, detection sensitivity will be better than linear mode.

better.

Shutter Mode and Cross Mode are shown below.

Linear Mode / Shutter Mode

Cross Mode

Dead Zone and beam range

• Light Curtains have a dead zone of 7.5cm on the upper part and 2.5cm on the lower part in cross mode. These regions are the parts where the Light Curtain does not detect.
• The Light Curtain will not be able to detect the hand, arm, or any object coming to these areas and will not be able to output. In the Light Curtain, there is 10 cm between each eye.

Scanning Area

• Light Curtain Control Card will detect and output the arm, body, or objects of these sizes, regardless of the scanning system, during operation.

Use of More Than One Light Curtain

Led Status

There are two LEDs on each of the Receiver and Transmitter Light Curtains cards. These LEDs are explained in the visual below.
