Light curtains are one of the most used safety device for industrial automation systems, due to their ability to provide a high level of safety for humans and machines by stopping motion when obstruction is detected, therefore preventing possible injuries. The MSF4800-20-0240-X2 is a perfect example of a light curtain, and provides a powerful combination of high speed, long distance sensing capability, and easily adjustable light curtains.

When referring to the MSF4800-20-0240-X2 specifically, its application field can generally be divided into two main areas, safety and automation. In safety, the usage of light curtains is typically related to controlling access or presence in hazardous areas. On the automation side, they are typically used for detection of presence and motion, window and door openings, as well as controlling gateways and handling.

The MSF4800-20-0240-X2 is a high performance and long-distance range light curtains, so it is highly suitable for industrial applications that require a long sensing distance, such as for conveyor detection and parts counting. It is also ideal for safety and automation applications that require reliable detection, such as for controlling gates and providing access to hazardous areas.

The working principle behind a light curtain is based on the detection of light from the curtain itself. The light curtain is composed of a series of light emitting devices which emit an invisible light pattern. If something obscures the pattern, this will be detected by the curtain’s photoelectric receivers. These receivers then send a signal telling the system to shut down the motion, thus preventing accidents or injuries from occurring.

There are two main types of light curtains - active and passive. An active light curtain is composed of an array of infrared emitters and receivers. When something passes between the emitters and receivers, the curtain\'s sensors will detect the blockage and will shut down the motion. A passive light curtain, on the other hand, is composed of a single transmitter and a plurality of receivers. When an object passes between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver will send a shut-down signal to the system.

The MSF4800-20-0240-X2 is a long range active light curtain, in that it has an array of infrared emitters and receivers. In operation, the emitted light is detected by the curtain\'s receivers, which perform an uninterrupted scanning at a high speed of 6.25kHz. If an obstruction is detected, the signal is sent directly to the relay contact closure output terminals, or, alternatively, to a PLC. The system will then be shut down immediately.

In terms of configuration, the MSF4800-20-0240-X2 can be adjusted to virtually any distance, from a minimum of 30mm to a maximum of 6m. It is also adaptable to conditions of ambient light, including direct sunlight. In addition, the MSF4800-20-0240-X2 also features various levels of protection against electromagnetic interference, enabling it to be used in various harsh environments.

Overall, the MSF4800-20-0240-X2 is a high performance and easy to use light curtain, providing a powerful combination of long distance sensing capability and adjustable features. Its usage in both safety and automation applications, as well as its ability to be configured to various distances and protection levels, makes it a great choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
