Sick DeTec2 Safety Light Curtain

The deTec2 Core safety light curtain is an electro-sensitive protective device (ESPE) consisting of a sender and receiver.

A series of parallel infrared light beams form a protective field between sender and receiver that protects the hazardous area (hazardous point, access and hazardous area protection). When one or more beams are completely interrupted, the safety light curtain reports the interruption in the light path to the secure output signal switching devices (OSSDs) by a signal change. The signal to stop the dangerous state of the machine must be evaluated by a safe control or safety relay (contactors). Sender and receiver automatically synchronize themselves optically. An electrical connection between both components is not required.
