Common Terms - Datalogic Light Curtains

• Resolution - the detection capability of a light curtain: the minimum diameter of an intruding object in order to disrupt one beam at any angle
• Protective Height - height of area monitored by the beams9
• Operating Distance - max distance between Sender and Receiver light curtain units
• Cascading - when two or more light curtains are connected to each other, resulting in one system that functions as a single light curtain.
• External Device Monitoring (EDM) - allows the electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) to monitor the state of control devices (contactors, actuators) that are driven by its outputs.
• Muting - is the temporary automatic suspension of a safety function. When a light curtain is muted, its outputs will remain ON even if an object is detected in the detection zone.
• Blanking - The blanking function is used when an object detected in a defined part of the detection zone must not cause an OFF-state of the light curtains outputs.
