1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The safety light curtains are optoelectronic multibeam devices that are used to protect working areas that, in
presence of machines, robots, and automatic systems in general, can become dangerous for operators that can
get in touch, even accidentally, with moving parts.
The light curtains are intrinsic safety systems used as accident-prevention protection devices and are
manufactured in accordance with the international Standards in force for safety, in particular:

The device, consisting of one emitter and one receiver contained inside aluminium profiles, generates infrared
beams that detect any opaque object positioned within the light curtain detection field.
The emitter and the receiver are equipped with the command and control functions.
The connections are made through one or more connectors as specified in cfr.ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
page 27.
The synchronisation between the emitter and the receiver takes place optically, i.e. no electrical connection
between the two units is required.
The microprocessor guarantees the check and the management of the beams that are sent and received through
the units: the microprocessor –through some LEDs –informs the operator about the general conditions of the
safety light curtain (cfr.USER INTERFACE AND DIAGNOSTICS page 42).
The receiver is the main controller for all functions. It monitors all safety actions in case of failure and performs
general functions as well.
During installation, an user interface facilitates the alignment of both units (cfr.ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE page
33).
As soon as an object, or a limb or the operator’s body accidentally interrupts one or some of the infrared beams
sent by the emitter, the receiver immediately opens the OSSD outputs or trigger Safety State over connected
safety Fieldbus.

1.4 HOW TO CHOOSE THE DEVICE
There are at least three different main characteristics that should be considered when choosing a safety light
curtain, after having evaluated the risk assessment.
1.4.1 Detection capability
The detection capability (or resolution) of the device is the minimum diameter that an opaque object must have in
order to obscure at least one of the beams that constitute the detection zone and to actuate the sensing device.
The resolution is related to the part of the body to be protected.
R=14 mm
Finger protection
R=30 mm
Hand protection
As shown in Fig 1 - page 10, the resolution only depends on the geometrical characteristics of the lenses,
diameter and distance between centres, and is independent of any environmental and operating conditions of the
safety light curtain.
Fig 1 - Detection capability
The resolution value is obtained applying the following formula:
R = I + d
where:
I=Interaxes between two adjacent optics
d=Lens diameter

1.4.2 Height of the detection zone

1.4.3 Minimum installation distance
The safety device must be positioned at a specific safety distance (Fig 3 - page 12).
This distance must ensure that the dangerous area cannot be reached before the dangerous motion of the
machine has been stopped by the Safety Control System.
The safety distance depends on 4 factors, according to the EN ISO 13855 Standard:
Response time of the ESPE (the time between the effective beam interruption and the opening of the OSSD
contacts)
Machine stopping time including Safety Control System computing and actuating time if present.
ESPE resolution
Approaching speed of the object to be detected
Fig 3 - Installation distance (vertical positioning)
The following formula is used for the calculation of the safety distance:
S = K (t1 + t2) + C
where:
S
=
Minimum safety distance in mm
K
=
Speed of the object, limb or body approaching the dangerous area in mm/sec
t1
=
Response time of the ESPE in seconds (see cfr.TECHNICAL DATA page 49)
t2
=
Machine stopping time in seconds (including the Safety Control System)
C
=
Additional distance based on the possibility to insert the body or one of body parts inside
the dangerous area before the protective device trips.
C=8 (R -14) for devices with resolution ≤ 40 mm
C=850 mm for devices with resolution > 40 mm
R
=
Resolution of the system
K value is:
2000 mm/s if the calculated value of S is ≤ 500 mm
1600 mm/s if the calculated value of S is > 500 mm

SG4 BASE
13/74
When devices with > 40 mm resolution are used, the height of the top beam has to be ≥ 900 mm (H2) from
machine supporting base while the height of the bottom beam has to be ≤ 300 mm (H1).
If the safety light curtain must be mounted in a horizontal position (Fig 4 - page 13) the distance between the
dangerous area and the most distant optical beam must be equal to the value calculated using the following
formula: S = 1600 mm/s (t1 + t2) + 1200 - 0,4 H
where:
S
=
Minimum safety distance in mm.
t1
=
Response time of the ESPE in seconds (cfr. TECHNICAL DATA page 49)
t2
=
Machine stopping time in seconds (including the Safety Control System)
H
=
Beam height from ground; this height must always be less than 1,000 mm.
Fig 4 - Installation distance (horizontal positioning)
Practical examples
Let's suppose to have a light curtain with height = 600 mm
To calculate the distance of the device from the ESPE, in a vertical position, the following formula is used:
S = K*T + C
where:
S
=
Minimum safety distance in mm.
t1
=
ESPE response time
t2
=
Machine total stopping time (Including safety control system).
T
=
(t1 + t2) Overall system stopping performance
C
=
8 * (R –14) for devices with resolution <= 40 mm
R
=
Resolution of the system
In all cases, if K = 2000mm/sec then S will be > 500 mm.
Distance will have then to be recalculated using K = 1600 mm/sec.

1.5 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Example 1: Operating point protection on drilling machines
The operator positions the part and takes it back after machining. The operator must be protected against possible
abrasions while working.
Solution: SG 14mm safety light curtain is especially suitable for this kind of application, which requires the
installation of the device directly on the machine.
Advantages: Highly reduced profile size guarantees installation flexibility for machine dimensions.
Fig 5 - Operating point protection on drilling machines
Example 2: Bending presses
The safety device must protect the operator from being squashed between the top and bottom tool or the machined
part during the fast approach phase.
Solution: If only one beam of the safety light curtain is darkened while the press is moving down, the mobile tool
bar will stop.
Advantages: The safety light curtain can be used in most bending operations thanks to its easy installation and
compact dimensions.
As well as offering excellent reliability, SG ensures increased plant productivity as it reduces the dead times
necessary for machine accessing, adjustment and maintenance.
Fig 6 - Bending presses

SG4 BASE
15/74
Example 3: Paper cutting machines
These machines typically cut paper to a specific size for newspapers or special applications.
The operator must be protected against abrasion or cuts by cutter blades.
Solution: SG 30mm safety light curtain is especially suitable for this kind of application, which require the
installation of the device directly on the machine.
Advantages: Highly reduced profile and the two side slots ensure installation flexibility for machine dimensions.
Fig 7 - Paper cutting machines
Example 4: Milling machines
A milling machine is a machine tool used for the shaping of metals and other solid materials. Operator hands and
body must be protected from being dragged, entangled or cut by the tool / spindle.
Solution: SG 30mm safety light curtain is the best solution considering the required safety levels and application
type. When even just one of the light curtain beams is interrupted, the machine is immediately stopped.
Advantages: Highly reduced profile size guarantees installation flexibility for machine dimensions.

1.6 SAFETY INFORMATION
The stopping system of the machine must be electrically controlled.
This control system must be able to stop the dangerous movement of the machine within the total machine
stopping time T as per paragraph Minimum installation distance page 12 and during all working cycle
phases.
Mounting and connection of the safety light curtain must be carried out by qualified personnel only, according
to the indications included in the special sections (refer to sections INSTALLATION page 17, MECHANICAL
MOUNTING page 26, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS page 27, ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE page 33) and in
the applicable standards.
The safety light curtain must be securely placed in a particular position so that access to the dangerous zone is
not possible without the interruption of the beams (refer section INSTALLATION page 17).
The personnel operating in the dangerous area must be well trained and must have adequate knowledge of all
the operating procedures of the safety light curtain.
Only for models SG4-xx-xxx-OO-E:
The TEST button must be located outside the protected area because the operator must check the protected
area during all Test operation.
The RESET/RESTART button must be located outside the protected area because the operator must check
the protected area during all Reset/Restart operations.
For a correct and safe use of the safety light curtains, the following points must be
observed:
Please carefully read the instructions for the correct functioning before powering the
light curtain on.

SG4 BASE

2 INSTALLATION
2.1 PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED FOR THE CHOICE AND INSTALLATION
Use only matched emitter and receiver pairs with same serial no.
The outputs (OSSD) of the ESPE must be used as machine stopping devices and not as command devices.
The machine must have its own START command.
The dimension of the smallest object to be detected must be larger than the resolution level of the device.
The ESPE must be installed in an environment complying with the characteristics indicated in TECHNICAL
DATA page 49.
The ESPE must not be installed close to strong and/or flashing light sources, in particular close to the front
window of receiving unit.
The presence of intense electromagnetic disturbances could affect device’s correct operation.
This condition shall be carefully assessed with the advice of DATALOGIC Technical Service.
The operating distance of the device can be reduced in presence of smog, fog or airborne dust.
A sudden change in environment temperature, with very low minimum peaks, can generate a small
condensation layer on the lenses and thus jeopardize correct operation.
Make sure that the protection level assured by the light curtain device is compatible
with the real danger level of the machine to be controlled, according to EN ISO 13849-1:
2015 or EN 62061:2005/A2: 2015.

SG4 BASE
18/74
2.2 GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEVICE POSITIONING
The safety light curtain should be carefully positioned in order to provide the necessary protection. Access to the
dangerous area must only be possible by passing through the protecting safety light beams.
Fig 9 - Wrong light curtain positioning
Fig 10 - Correct light curtain positioning
Under standard operating conditions, machine starting must not be possible while operators are inside the
dangerous area.
Where it is not possible to install safety light curtain very near to the dangerous zone, a second light curtain must
be mounted in a horizontal position in order to prevent any lateral access, as shown in Fig 12 - page 18.
Fig 11 - Wrong light curtain positioning
Fig 12 - Correct light curtain positioning
Fig 9 - page 18 shows some examples of possible access to the machine from the top
and the bottom sides. These situations may be very dangerous and so the installation
of the safety light curtain at sufficient height in order to completely cover the access to
the dangerous area (Fig 10 - page 18) becomes necessary.
If the operator is able to enter in the dangerous area, an additional mechanical
protection must be mounted to prevent the access.

SG4 BASE
19/74
2.2.1 Minimum distance from reflecting surfaces
Reflecting surfaces placed near the light beams of the safety device (over, under or laterally) can cause passive
reflections. These reflections can affect the recognition of an object inside the controlled area. Moreover, if the RX
receiver detects a secondary beam (reflected by the side-reflecting surface) the object might not be detected, even
if the object interrupts the main beam.
Fig 13 - Distance from reflecting surfaces
It is important to position the safety light curtain according to the minimum distance from reflecting surfaces.
The minimum distance depends on:
operating distance between emitter (TX) and receiver (RX);
real aperture angle of ESPE (EAA); especially:

SG4 BASE
20/74
for ESPE Type 4 EAA = 5° (α = ± 2.5°)
Fig 14 - Minimum distance from reflective surface
The formula to get Dsr is the following:
For ESPE Type 4:
Dsr (m) = 0.13 for operating distance < 3 m
Dsr (m) = 0.5 x operating distance (m) x tg 2a for operating distance >= 3 m
