Machine Safety - Light Curtains are an important component of industrial automation equipment as they ensure that the operations are performed in a safe and secure manner. The MS4800A-30-1960 is an industrial-grade light curtain from leading manufacturer EN75 that is specifically designed for providing safeguarding and low-cost solutions. It features an integrated three-wire system that is easily compliant with international standards such as EN474. This article focuses on the application field and working principle of the MS4800A-30-1960 light curtain.

In general, light curtains are utilized to create an illuminated virtual barrier between hazardous machinery and the operator. This protects the operator from potential harm such as pinch points, entanglement hazards, cutting edges or ejected objects. The MS4800A-30-1960 is categorized as a low-cost light curtain as it features a two-piece design along with a 3-wire configuration. This design ensures the bottom row of light beams to be as close to the hazard area as possible. This allows material handling assemblies to be more flexible when it comes to hazardous areas.

The MS4800A-30-1960 light curtain can be installed and connected easily due to a 3-wire system. This system involves two transmitters and a single receiver. The transmitter has a row of red LED emitters on one side of the curtain along with its corresponding row of white receive sensors on the other side. The receiver is placed in the middle of the curtain and is responsible for combining the incoming signals from both LEDs and sending it to the control unit. The 3-wire system ensures compatibility with a range of safety controllers and software, making it a widely applicable light curtain solution.

The MS4800A-30-1960 light curtain is not only used for safeguarding operators from hazardous areas but can be also used in other scenarios. It can be used to create perimeter fencing and detect movement in a specific area. For example, it is often used in access control applications where it can be used to detect movement near an entrance. It can also be used as a form of automation when it senses that a specific task has been completed. For example, it can be used to signal the machines to start operation after a certain task has been detected.

When it comes to its working principle, the MS4800A-30-1960 works by creating an invisible barrier between the hazardous machinery and the operator. The rows of LED emitters and receive sensors create a virtual curtain that blocks potential harm caused by hazardous machinery. The receiver combines the incoming signals from both emitters and sends a single signal to the control unit. The control unit then determines if the signal is coming from a safe area or from a hazardous area. If the signal is coming from a hazardous area, the safety controller will immediately stop the movement of the machinery.

Overall, the MS4800A-30-1960 light curtain is a low-cost solution for safeguarding operators from hazardous areas in industrial automation applications. It is easily installed due to its three-wire system and can be used for various applications such as perimeter fencing and access control. Its working principle ensures a reliable and consistent performance in any light condition, making it a popular choice for light curtain solutions.
