Start interlock Subsequent to commissioning and/or a power interruption, the start interlock prevents a "re-release". A re-release is only possibleonce the protective field has been interrupted and reactivated. Response time The time period between penetration of the protective field and the switching process. Blanking Ther Balnking features provide the temporarily "skipping" or "disabling" of selected areas of the the protective field. By doing this,parts of tools or machinery may reach into the protective field without reducing the function of the machine. (please refer topchapter 7 BLVT)....

The safe distance (S) between the accident-preventing light barrier and hazardous area must be big enough to ensurethat when the protective field is penetrated, the hazardous area cannot be accessed before the hazardous movement has been ended. In addition, it must be ensured that reaching over, under or around, or walking behind the protective field is prevented by additional mechanical screening or further light barriers. To this end, please also refer to EN 999 and other effective national and international safety regulations. > 4.2.1 Vertical light barrier protection of hazardous areas (valid...

The light transmitter (a) (Fig. 17/1) and the light receiver (b) form the light barrier (c). If the light beams are interrupted, e.g. by a hand, a pilot circuit is opened and the closing action is prevented / stopped. In the opposite example, it is not possible to avoid the ULVT light barrier from the working side, which means that additional screening is not required. In order to prevent the walking behind the protectivefield, the distance between the ULVT/BLVT safety light barrier and the machine must be _< 75 mm. > fig. 17/1 Installation without additional screening In a normal working process...
