2 Advantages of the MLG-2 compared to the MLG-1
The MLG-2 offers the following advantages over the MLG-1:
■Able to detect smaller objects (high-resolution mode)
■Improved detection of transparent objects thanks to “Transparent mode”
■Improved ambient light immunity due to the smaller aperture angle
■Better able to adapt to the environment and the application thanks to a variety of
operating modes
■Shorter response times and minimum presence time
■Smaller minimum distances when mounting multiple light grids
■Flexible mounting of removable fieldbus module (no blind zone)
■Removable fieldbus modules that can be ordered separately
■Control panel for easy commissioning without a PC
■IO-Link interface V.1.1
■Easy configuration with the SOPAS configuration software via an Ethernet interface
■Configuration options for multiple applications (measuring tasks)
For additional information, see the relevant operating instructions.
2 ADVANTAGES OF THE MLG-2 COMPARED TO THE MLG-1

3 Response times
As the MLG-2 offers shorter response times, you may have to adjust the PLC configura‐
tion. Alternatively, you can also set a digital output delay for the MLG-2. See the relevant
MLG-2 operating instructions.

The response time depends on the beam function and on which basic function is
selected.
In the case of the cross-beam function, multiply the response time in the diagram by 2.

5 Mounting
5.1 Distance between lower edge of housing and first beam
The distance between the lower edge of the housing and the first beam is not the same
on the MLG-2 as on the MLG-1.
There are three different applications, which are illustrated in chapters “Application 1”,
“Application 2”, and “Application 3”. The choice of application depends on which MLG-1
is being replaced and on the new MLG-2. The following table lists suitable MLG-2 var‐
iants as replacements for certain MLG-1 variants. For additional information, siehe
Tabelle 3, Seite 5.
bRemember to take account of the difference between the lower edge of the hous‐
ing and the first beam during planning and mounting.

5.2 Overview of brackets
Various brackets were available for mounting the MLG-1 light grid. In the case of the
brackets below, you can use the same mounting positions for the MLG-2 as for the
MLG-1 by relying on the BEF-1SHABP004 mounting kit.
Please note that the MLG-1 and MLG-2 differ in terms of where the first beam is
located in relation to the lower edge of the housing (see "Distance between lower edge
of housing and first beam", page 11).
