WARNING! Read and understand this section prior to installing a 4700 system.

A 4700 system is a general purpose presence sensing device designed to guard personnel working

around moving machinery.

Whether a speciﬁc machine application and light curtain installation complies with safety

regulations depends on the proper application, installation, maintenance and operation of the light

curtain. These items are the responsibility of the purchaser, installer and employer.

The employer is responsible for the selection and training of personnel to properly install, operate,

and maintain the machine and its safeguarding systems. A 4700 system should only be installed,

veriﬁed and maintained by a qualiﬁed person. A qualiﬁed person is deﬁned as “a person or persons

who, by possession of a recognized degree or certiﬁcate of professional training, or who, by

extensive knowledge, training or experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve

problems relating to the subject matter and work.” (ANSI B30.2-1983)

To use a 4700 series safety light curtain the following requirements must be met:

— The guarded machine must be able to stop anywhere in its cycle. Do not use a safety light curtain

on a press with a full-revolution clutch.

— The guarded machine must not present a hazard from ﬂying parts.

— The guarded machine must have a consistent stopping time and adequate control mechanisms.

— Severe smoke, particulate matter and corrosives may degrade the efﬁciency of a safety light

curtain. Do not use a 4700 system in this type of environment.

— All applicable governmental and local rules, codes, and regulations must be satisﬁed. This is the

employer’s responsibility.

— All safety-related machine control elements must be designed so that a alarm in the control logic

or failure of the control circuit does not lead to a failure to danger.

— Additional guarding may be required for access to dangerous areas not covered by the 4700 series

system.

— Perform the STI test procedure at installation and after maintenance, adjustment, repair or

modiﬁcation to the machine controls, tooling, dies or machine, or the 4700 series system.

— Perform only the test and repair procedures outlined in this manual.

— Follow all procedures in this manual for proper operation of the 4700 series system.

The enforcement of these requirements is beyond the control of STI. The employer has the sole

responsibility to follow the preceding requirements and any other procedures, conditions and

requirements speciﬁc to his machinery.

3.1 ACCESS TO CONFIGURATION SWITCHES

3.1.1 LCM DIN CONTROLLER

Switches for conﬁguring system features are located under the front cover of the controller. Access

to these switches is gained by the following procedure:

1. Remove the four screws holding the cover in place (see Figure 3-1 for location).

2. Place the blade of a thin ﬂat-blade screwdriver between the cover and the main controller housing

and gently lift the cover off. See Figure 3-1 for detail. The cover is not hinged and will be completely

removed.

To replace the cover:

1. Correctly position one end and push down on the opposite end to snap it in place.

2. Replace the four screws to properly retain the cover.

o test the light curtain, use the appropriate STI-

supplied test object, or properly sized opaque cylindrical

object.

If you are using the Channel Select or Floating

Blanking features and the object to be ignored does not

completely prevent access to the hazardous area, either

(1) use a mechanical guard or other means to block

access or (2) increase the minimum safe distance and

use a larger test object diameter as explained in the

Installation and Operating Manual.

1. Disable the machine. Power on the light curtain.

2. Inspect the machine to ensure entry to the

hazardous area is only through the light curtain sensing

field. If not, additional guarding, including mechanical

barriers may be required.

3. Verify that the mounting distance of the light

curtain is equal to or greater than the minimum safe

distance from the hazardous point. Ensure the operator

is not able to stand undetected between the light curtain

and the hazard.

4. Check for external damage to the light curtain,

the machine, electrical cables and w iring.

5. Interrupt the sensing field with the

test

immediately. Never insert the test object into the

dangerous parts of the machine! With the machine at

rest, interrupt the sensing field with the test object.

that the machine will not start with the test object in the

sensing field.

7. Ensure the braking and machine stop systems

are working properly in accordance with the machine

manufacturer s requirements. If the machine does not

stop fast enough, adjust the braking system or increase

the distance from the light curtain to the point hazard.

8. If the safety devices or machine fail any of these

tests, do not run the machine. Immediately lockout the

machine to prevent its use and notify the supervisor

9. If the Channel Select is reprogrammed or

disabled, you must repeat these test procedures.

10. Close and lock the light curtain contr

enclosure door, if applicable.

To test the light curtain, use the appropriate STI-

supplied test object, or properly sized opaque cylindrical

object.

If you are using the Channel Select or Floating

Blanking features and the object to be ignored does not

completely prevent access to the hazardous area, either

(1) use a mechanical guard or other means to block

access or (2) increase the minimum safe distance and

use a larger test object diameter as explained in the

Installation and Operating Manual.

1. Disable the machine. Power on the light curtain.

2. Inspect the machine to ensure entry to the

hazardous area is only through the light curtain sensing

field. If not, additional guarding, including mechanical

barriers may be required.

3. Verify that the mounting distance of the light

curtain is equal to or greater than the minimum safe

distance from the hazardous point. Ensure the operator

is not able to stand undetected between the light curtain

and the hazard.

4. Check for external damage to the light curtain,

the machine, electrical cables and wiring.

5. Interrupt the sensing field with the test

object t

o check the effectiveness of the light curtain.

Move the test object inside the perimeter (along the top,

7. Ensure the braking and machine stop systems

are working properly in accordance with the machine

manufacturer s requirements. If the machine does not

stop fast enough, adjust the braking system or increase

the distance from the light curtain to the point hazard.

8. If the safety devices or machine fail any of these

tests, do not run the machine. Immediately lockout the

machine to prevent its use and notify the supervisor

9. If the Channel Select is reprogrammed or

PERATION

The 4700 system is a microprocessor-controlled, infrared transmitted-beam safety light curtain.

The system consists of a receiver assembly and a transmitter assembly. Quick disconnect cables link

the controller to the transmitter and receiver.

The safety light curtain is often used where personnel protection is required. Typical applications

include mechanical power presses, robotic work cells, ﬁlter presses, injection molders, food

processing equipment and automated assembly equipment.

4.1 OPERATING STATES

The operating condition of a 4700 system is described in terms of states. The following operating

states exist for the 4700 system.

4.1.1 MACHINE RUN

The two system safety outputs are in the ON state, the green machine run indicator is lit, and the

auxiliary output is in a state consistent with its conﬁguration. See Section 7 on page 27. The

protected machine is allowed to operate. Pressing and releasing the start button has no effect.

4.1.2 MACHINE STOP

The two system safety outputs are in the OFF state, the red machine stop indicator is lit, and the

auxiliary output is in a state consistent with its conﬁguration. See section Section 7 on page 27. The

protected machine is not allowed to operate. Press and releasing the start switch has no effect.

4.1.3 INTERLOCK

The two system safety outputs are in the OFF state, the red machine stop indicator and yellow

interlock indicator are lit. The auxiliary output is in a state consistent with its conﬁguration. See

Section 7 on page 27. The interlock state does not allow the protected machine to operate until the

detection zone is clear of obstructions and the start button is pressed and released.

4.1.4 ALARM

The two system safety outputs are in the OFF state, the red machine stop indicator is lit, the yellow

interlock indicator is ﬂashing, and the auxiliary output is in the OFF state. The alarm state does not

allow the protected machine to operate. The primary difference between alarm and interlock is that

the 4700 system will remain in the alarm state until power is recycled or the start switch is pressed

and released and the system has run a self-test.

4.2 OPERATING MODES

System operating modes determine the start-up and operating behavior of the 4700 system.

Operating mode deﬁnitions rely on the operating states presented above. Operating mode selection

is performed via conﬁguration switches under the front cover of the controller.

NOTE! If internal faults are detected by the 4700 system during power-up or operation, it will

enter the alarm state with its safety outputs in the OFF state.

4.2.1 AUTOMATIC START

The 4700 system will power-up with its safety outputs OFF, and perform system initialization and

self tests. The 4700 system will enter the machine run state if no obstructions are present in the

detection zone. In this state, when an object is sensed entering the detection zone, the 4700 system

will change from machine run to machine stop and remain in this state until the obstruction is

removed. Once the detection zone is clear, the 4700 system will automatically change from machine

stop to machine run.

4.2.2 START INTERLOCK

The 4700 system will power-up with its safety outputs OFF and perform system initialization and

self-tests. If no obstructions are detected in the protected zone, (or an exact channel select pattern

satisﬁed), the 4700 system enters the interlock state. To enter the machine run state, the detection

zone must be clear (or an exact channel select pattern satisﬁed), and then the operator must press

and release the start switch. In the machine run state, when an object is sensed entering the

detection zone the 4700 system will change from machine run to machine stop. Once the detection

zone is clear, the 4700 system will automatically change from machine stop to machine run.

4.2.3 START/RESTART INTERLOCK

The 4700 system will power-up with its safety outputs OFF, and, if no faults are detected, enter the

interlock state. To enter the machine run state, the detection zone must be clear (or an exact

channel select pattern satisﬁed), and then the operator must press and release the start switch. In

the machine run state, when an object is sensed entering the detection zone the 4700 will change

from machine run to interlock. The 4700 system will remain in the interlock state even after the

obstruction is removed from the detection zone. To enter the machine run state, the operator must

press and release the start switch. If any obstruction is present in the detection zone when the start

switch is pressed and released, the 4700 will remain in the interlock state.

NOTE! The deﬁnitions above mention a start switch. See Section 10–“Connecting to the Machine

Control Circuit” for wiring of the start switch.

4.3 OPERATING MODE SELECTION

Operating mode is selected by setting positions 1 and 2 of Switches A and B, located under the

controller cover. Refer to Table 4-1. Any mismatch between the settings of Switch A and B will

result in an alarm condition. In addition, if the conﬁguration switch settings change while the

system is on, it will enter the alarm state with the safety outputs off.

Warning! Disconnect power before accessing the controller assembly.

Table 4-1 Operating Mode Switch Settings

4.4 START SWITCH TYPE SELECTION

The type of Start switch (Normally Open or Normally Closed) used by the 4700 system is selectable

by a jumper located under the controller cover. Refer to Figure 3-4—DIN Controller Components

and Figure 3-5—Metal Chassis Controller Components. Placing the jumper between Pins 1 and 2 of

JMP 1 selects a Normally Closed Start Switch. Placing the jumper between 2 and 3 selects a

Normally Open Start switch.

Note: If there is a mismatch between the type of Start selected and used, (i.e. jumper between Pins

1 and 2 and Normally Open Start Switch used) the switch must be pressed and released twice

before the system will enter a Run state.

ETECTION

PTIONS

Warning! Use of Exact Channel Select and/or Floating Blanking will make the 4700

system less sensitive to objects in the detection zone. Improper use of either can result

in severe injury to personnel. Exact Channel Select may require a hard barrier guard

(see Section 5.8—Additional Guarding When Using Exact Channel Select), Exact Channel

Select or Floating Blanking requires an increase in the safety distance. Read the

following section carefully.

- To prevent unauthorized modiﬁcation of the detection zone. The system controller

should be installed in an enclosure with supervisor-controlled access.

- If the object to be ignored by the Channel Selected beams does not completely prevent

access to the hazardous area, then either use a hard guard or other means to block

access or increase the minimum safe distance as required by the proper formula.

- Any beams which are not in alignment at the time of Channel Select programming

may be inadvertently deselected. Use the STI Test Procedure to verify the correct

conﬁguration.

- Floating Blanking increases the minimum safety distance therefore test object size will

increase.

- After programming or activating Channel Select or Floating Blanking, to avoid

unexpected areas where the system may not sense an intrusion into the detection zone,

use a proper size test object to perform the STI Test Procedure.

5.1 EXACT CHANNEL SELECT (ECS)

ECS disables selected, ﬁxed areas of the detection zone by masking off speciﬁc, ﬁxed beam locations.

ECS is helpful when stationary objects such as tooling and ﬁxtures permanently obstruct a portion

of the detection zone.

ECS requires that any portion of the detection zone which is blocked remain blocked. If the

obstruction is removed the 4700 system will enter a machine stop state. When selecting channels to

be masked, one channel must remain unblocked. A channel is deﬁned as one transmitter/receiver

pair or “beam”.

See Table 5-1, “System Response to Exact Channel Select” for a diagram of 4700 system response

during operation with ECS active.

Table 5-1 System Response to Exact Channel Select

5.2 MULTI CHANNEL SELECT (MCS)

MCS stores up to four patterns of selected beams. Just as the ECS disables selected, ﬁxed areas of the

detection zone by masking off speciﬁc, ﬁxed beam locations, the MCS can be programmed to store

four different patterns. MCS is helpful when a machine requires multiple setups where stationary

objects such as tooling, ﬁxtures, or material frequently obstruct a portion of the detection zone.

Access and programming is performed using a PLC or switch inputs. The suggested logic patterns

for identiﬁcation of the stored program are in Table 5-2 on page 20. Refer to drawings Figure 5-1

and Figure 5-2 for connection recommendations.

5.3 FLOATING BLANKING

Up to two channels can be disabled at any location in the detection zone without the 4700 system

going to the machine stop state. The disabled channels are not ﬁxed at a single location but “ﬂoat”

through the detection zone.

See Table 5-3 for a diagram of 4700 system response during operation with Floating Blanking active.

Table 5-3 System Response to Floating Blanking

Table 5-4 Icon Key for Tables 5-1 and 5-2

5.4 USING EXACT CHANNEL SELECT WITH FLOATING BLANKING

Warning! Using Exact Channel Select with Floating Blanking is an advanced feature.

All situations which may occur to the 4700 system detection zone must be carefully

considered. The 4700 system is less sensitive to objects in the detection zone. The safety

distance must be increased. Failure to do so may cause serious injury.

When both Exact Channel Select and Floating Blanking are selected, the ﬂoating channels are

allowed to occur anywhere within the detection zone, even within the area selected by Exact

Channel Select. In these areas, a channel that should normally be blocked is allowed to be clear.

5.4.1 THE EFFECT OF EXACT CHANNEL SELECT AND FLOATING BLANKING ON MINIMUM OBJECT

RESOLUTION

When Exact Channel Select and/or Floating Blanking is active, the safety distance is affected. Exact

Channel Select and Floating Blanking desensitize the light curtain and increase the size of the

minimum object detected. The increase is equal to the channel spacing distance for each channel

that is disabled.

•A 4700 system with 12 mm minimum object resolution and one channel disabled has a minimum

object sensitivity of:

12 mm + 6.25 mm = 18.25 mm (0.72 inches).

•A 4700 system with 12 mm minimum object resolution and two channels disabled has a minimum

object sensitivity of:

12 mm + 6.25 mm + 6.25 mm = 24.5 mm (0.96 inches).

If the size of the object detected by the 4700 system increases, the minimum safe distance must

increase. Use the minimum object sensitivity given in Table 5-5, Table 5-6, Table 5-7 & Table 5-8 to

determine the new ﬁgure to use when computing the safety distance.

Hard guarding refers to mechanical barriers such as sheet or expanded metal, etc. See Figure 5-3

Adding Hard guarding to Light Curtain when Using Channel Select for an example.

Floating Blanking changes the resolution (object size) of the 4700 system and will require different

mounting distance.

Figure 5-3 Adding Hard guarding to Light Curtain when Using Channel Select

5.5 ACTIVATING AND PROGRAMMING EXACT CHANNEL SELECT

Warning! To prevent unauthorized modiﬁcation of the sense ﬁeld, the system controller

should be installed in an enclosure with supervisor-controlled access.

Exact Channel Select is activated by setting position 4 of Switches A and B, located under the

controller cover. Refer to Figure 3-1. Any mismatch between the settings of the switches will result

in a alarm condition.

To program an ECS pattern, the 4700 system must be in the machine stop state. An ECS pattern is

stored by blocking the appropriate area of the detection zone and pressing, then releasing the

program button (See Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 for locations). The MCS works the same as the ECS

except in addition to blocking the appropriate area of the detection zone, an four position binary

switch or PLC or two SPST switches are needed to differentiate the four possible pattern.

5.6 MCS PROGRAMING

1. Ensure that power is supplied to the controller, and that the light curtain is green and showing all

beams are clear. The display should read “00”.

2. Set position 4 of switches A and B to the closed position and press “Start”, the display should red

“03”.

3. Set the Pattern select inputs, see Table 5-2—Switches for Multi Channel Select.

4. Place the desired object in ﬁeld (block beams) and press the “program” button, the display should

read “01”.

5. Push the “start” button, and the display should read “03”. The light curtain will enter the

Machine Run state.

6. To add more patterns (a total of eight possible) Set the Pattern select inputs to another program

the display will read “27”, press the start button and continue to step 4. Repeat steps 4 and 5.

7. To change from one pattern to another, change the ECS inputs to the desired program and push

the start button.

The 4700 system will then enter the interlock or machine stop condition, regardless of the

operating mode. The Start button may be pressed-and-released or power may be cycled to enter the

machine run state. Subsequent power cycles will result in operation in accordance with the

conﬁgured operating mode.

A new ECS pattern is recorded when the system is in the machine stop state with no alarms, the

conﬁguration switches are correctly set, and the Program button is pressed and released. If the

conﬁguration switches are subsequently set to disable ECS, the stored ECS pattern is cleared.

NOTE! Replace controller cover after changing system conﬁguration. See Section 3.1.1 on page 11

and Section 3.1.2 on page 12 for details.

Table 5-9 Switch Settings, Exact Channel Select and Floating Blanking

5.7 ACTIVATING FLOATING BLANKING

Floating Blanking (either one- or two- beam) is activated by setting positions 5 and 6 of Switches A

and B located under the controller cover. Refer to . Any mismatch between the settings of Switches

will result in an alarm condition. Use of the program button is not required.

5.8 ADDITIONAL GUARDING WHEN USING EXACT CHANNEL SELECT

Exact Channel Select creates “holes” in the detection zone. These “holes” are required for certain

applications. If an obstruction does not completely ﬁll these “holes” one of two actions will need to

happen: (Refer to Figure 5-3 Adding Hard guarding to Light Curtain when Using Channel Select).

1. The safe mounting distance will need to be increased to account for the larger opening in the

curtain.

IAGNOSTIC

AND

EST

EATURES

6.1. DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY

A two-digit numeric display on the front of the controller indicates system status. The table below

provides the operating mode codes. A full listing of diagnostic codes can be found in Section 12—

Troubleshooting.

Table 6-1 Operational Display Code Summary

6.2 INDIVIDUAL BEAM INDICATORS

The 4700 system has a visible, red Individual Beam Indicator (IBI), adjacent to each infrared beam.

These IBI’s are located on the receiver. The IBI will light when the infrared beam fails to meet the

conditions necessary for the 4700 system to remain in the machine run state.

IBI’s are not a safety critical component. An IBI failure will not cause an alarm condition and the

4700 system will continue to operate.

6.3 MACHINE PRIMARY CONTROL ELEMENT (MPCE) MONITORING

MPCE monitoring is an important safety function. It monitors the 4700 system interface to the

guarded machine and checks to ensure that the control elements are responding correctly to the

light curtain and to detect any inconsistency between the two machine MPCE.

Connections for MPCE monitoring are made at the controller on terminals 10 and 11 for the DIN

controller and on TB7 terminals 1 and 2 for the metal chassis controller. For a detailed diagram, see

Section 10—Connecting To The Machine Control Circuit. On power-up, the 4700 system looks for

an MPCE closed condition. If this is found, it will enter a state consistent with the selected operating

mode. When the 4700 system enables its safety outputs, it monitors the MPCE for a closed-to-open

transition. This transition must occur within 300 ms or the 4700 system considers the MPCE

faulted. The 4700 system will then enter an alarm state. Additionally, if the MPCE connections are

incorrectly wired, the 4700 will enter an alarm state.

Upon entering a machine stop state, the MPCE input must close within 300 ms of the safety output

switching or the system will enter the alarm state. The ability to disable MPCE monitoring is

provided using the conﬁguration switches located in the controller.

NOTE! When MPCE is not active, place a jumper between the terminals MPCE and MPCE RTN for

the DIN controller (or place a jumper between terminals 1 and 2 of TB7 for the Solid State Output

Version of the metal chassis controller).

6.3.1 ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING MPCE MONITORING

(on Din Controller and Metal Chassis Solid State Version)

MPCE monitoring is activated by setting position 3 of Switches A and B located under the controller

cover. Refer to Table 6-2. Any mismatch between the settings of Switches A and B will result in an

alarm condition.

Table 6-2 MPCE Switch Settings

NOTE! Replace controller cover and retention screws after changing system conﬁguration. See

Section 3.1.1 on page 11 and Section 3.1.2 on page 12 for details.

6.3.2 ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING MPCE MONITORING ON THE METAL CHASSIS CONTROLLER-

RELAY OUTPUT VERSION

7.1 SAFETY OUTPUTS

7.1.1 DIN CONTROLLER AND METAL CHASSIS SOLID STATE VERSION

The 4700 system supplies two independent PNP-type, safety outputs to provide Run/Stop signals to

the guarded machine. In the machine Run state, the safety outputs are electrically conducting and

source 650 milliamps of current at 24 VDC. In the Machine Stop state, the outputs are not

electrically conducting.

WARNING! This product is designed for use on a 24 VDC, negative ground (protective

earth) electrical system only. Never connect the 4700 system to a positive ground

(protective earth) system. With a positive ground (protective earth) wiring scheme,

certain simultaneous shorts of both safety outputs may not be detected and the

guarded machine may not stop resulting is severe operator injury.

7.1.2 METAL CHASSIS CONTROLLER – RELAY OUTPUT VERSION

The 4700 system supplies 1 N.O. and 1 N.C/N.O. dry relay contacts, safety outputs to provide

Run/Stop signals to the guarded machine. In the Run state the N.O. contacts are closed and will

conduct the supplied voltage. In the Machine Stop state, the N.O. contacts are open. The N.C.

contact will open in a Run state and close in a Stop state.

7.2. AUXILIARY OUTPUTS

7.2.1 DIN CONTROLLER AND METAL CHASSIS SOLID STATE VERSION

Two auxiliary outputs are provided. Auxiliary output AUX1 OUT is NPN and sinks up to 100 mA to

system ground when in the on condition. Auxiliary output AUX2 OUT is PNP and sources 250 mA at

24 VDC when in the on condition.

7.2.2 METAL CHASSIS CONTROLLER - RELAY OUTPUT VERSION

N.O./N.C. auxiliary outputs are provided. These outputs are intended for light curtain Status

indication. The auxiliary output is user conﬁgurable for Alarm mode and Follow mode.

7.2.3 AUXILIARY OUTPUT OPERATING MODES

The auxiliary outputs can be set to enter an ON condition either when:

•The safety outputs are in the machine run state (Follow Mode), or

•The 4700 system enters an alarm state (Alarm Mode).

The auxiliary output operating mode is selected by setting position 7 of Switches A and B located

under the controller cover. Refer to Table 7-1. Any mismatch between the settings of the switches

will result in an alarm conditions.

ISTANCE

WARNING! Never install a 4700 system

without regard to the safety distance. If the 4700

system is mounted too close to the point of operation

hazard, the machine may not stop in time to prevent

an operator injury.

A 4700 system must be mounted far enough from the

machine danger zone so the machine will stop before a hand

or other body part reaches the hazardous area. This distance

is called the safety distance. It is a calculated number based on

a formula. See Figure 8-1—Safe Mounting Distance for an

illustration of the safety distance.

Regardless of the calculated distance, a 4700 system should

never be mounted closer to the point of operation hazard than

allowed by Table 0-10 in OSHA 1910.217.

Figure 8-1 Safe Mounting Distance

8.1 US SAFE DISTANCE FORMULAS

In the United States two formulas exist to properly determine the safety distance. STI recommends

the formula provided by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) which incorporates

additional factors when compared to the formula required by OSHA.

The ANSI formula given below is for a normal approach to the light curtain.

Ds = K x (Ts + Tc + Tr + Tbm) + Dpf

Where:

Ds = minimum safety distance, in inches, between the 4700 system detection zone and the nearest

point of operation hazard.

K = hand speed constant in inches per second. The ANSI standard value is 63 inches/second which

assumes the operator starts a hand motion toward the point of operation from rest. According to

ANSI B11.19-1990, “The value of the hand speed constant, K, has been determined by various

studies and although these studies indicate speeds of 63 in./sec. to over 100 in./sec., they are not

considered conclusive determinations. The user should consider all factors, including the physical

ability of the operator, when determining the value of K to be used.”

Ts = the stop time of the press (or machine) in seconds, measured from the ﬁnal de-energized

control element. Measured at maximum closing velocity.

Tc = the response time, in seconds, of the press or machine control circuit to activate the machine’s

brake.

NOTE! Ts + Tc is usually measured together by a stop time measuring device.

Tr = the response time of the 4700 system, in seconds. This response time is given in Table 14-1,

Table 14-2 and Table 14-3.

WARNING! When using a STI RM-1 with the 4700, add 0.008 seconds to the response

times stated in Table 14-1, Table 14-2 and Table 14-3.

Tbm = the additional stopping time, in seconds, allowed by the brake performance monitor before it

detects stop time deterioration.

The Tbm factor allows consideration for brake wear, adding extra stop time allowed by the brake

monitor. Therefore, Tbm = Brake monitor set point - (Ts + Tc).

NOTE! If the guarded machine is not equipped with a stop time performance monitor, a percentage

increase factor should be applied to the stop time of the machine to allow for braking system wear.

Contact your machine manufacturer for information.

Dpf = This is related to the minimum object sensitivity of the 4700 system. By knowing the

minimum object sensitivity, S, of the 4700 system, Dpf is read directly from Table 5-5, Table 5-6,

Table 5-7 or Table 5-8.

For a 4700 system with 12 mm minimum object resolution and without Exact Channel Select or

Floating Blanking active:

S = 0.47 inches (12 mm) and Dpf = 0.67 inches (16.96 mm)

For a 4700 system with 20 mm minimum object resolution and without Exact Channel Select or

Floating Blanking active:

S = 0.79 inches (20 mm) and Dpf = 1.75 inches (44.45 mm)

8.2 EUROPEAN SAFETY DISTANCE FORMULAS

The following discussion is based on standard EN999 and applies to light curtains used in industrial

environments.

8.2.1 SAFETY DISTANCE FORMULA FOR SYSTEMS WITH A MINIMUM OBJECT RESOLUTION OF 40 MM

OR LESS

When the minimum object resolution of the system is 40 mm or less, use the following formula:

S = (K x T) + C

where:

S = the minimum distance in millimeters, from the danger zone to the detection point, line, plane

or zone.

K = 2000 mm/s

T = the overall system stopping performance in seconds.

T = t1 + t2

t1 = response time of the safety light curtain in seconds. This response time is given in Table

14-1, Table 14-2 and Table 14-3.

▲

SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGIES INC.

Fremont CA USA

Tel: 1/888/510-4357 in USA and Canada

t2 = maximum stopping time of the machine in seconds.

C = 8(d-14 mm), but not less than zero.

d = the minimum object detection of the 4700 in millimeters.

i.e.:

S = (2000 mm/s x T) + 8(d – 14 mm)

This formula applies for all minimum distances of S up to and including 500 mm. The minimum

value of S shall not be less than 100 mm.

If S is found to be greater than 500 mm using the formula above, then the formula below can be

used. In this case the minimum value of S shall not be less than 500 mm.

S = (1600 mm/s x T) + 8(d – 14 mm)

8.2.2 SAFETY DISTANCE FORMULA FOR SYSTEMS WITH A MINIMUM OBJECT RESOLUTION GREATER

THAN 40 MM

When the minimum object resolution of the system is greater than 40 mm, use the following

formula:

S = (K x T) + C

where:

S = the minimum distance in millimeters, from the danger zone to the detection point, line, plane

or zone.

K = 1600 mm/s

T = the overall system stopping performance in seconds.

T = t1 + t2

t1 = response time of the safety light curtain in seconds. This response time is given in Table 14-1,

Table 14-2 and Table 14-3.

t2 = maximum stopping time of the machine is seconds.

C = 850 mm.

i.e.:

S = (1600 mm/s x T) + 850 mm

8.2.3 FACTORS AFFECTING THE SAFETY DISTANCE FORMULA

When light curtains are used for machine initiation, their minimum object resolution must be 30

mm or smaller (based on EN999, other standards may vary). In this case the formula given in

8.2.1—Safety Distance Formula for Systems with a Minimum Object Resolution of 40 mm or Less

applies except that the minimum distance S shall be greater than 150 mm. For parallel approach

the formula C becomes:

C = 1200mm – (0.4 x H), but not less than 850 mm.

H = the height of the detection zone above the ﬂoor in mm.

9.1 REFLECTIVE SURFACE INTERFERENCE

A reﬂective surface adjacent to the detection zone can deﬂect the optical beam and may cause an

obstruction in the zone not to be detected. (See Figure 9-2 and Figure 9-3.) The reﬂective surface

may be part of the machine, mechanical guard or workpiece. Therefore, a minimum distance (d)

must exist between the reﬂective object and the center line of the 4700 system detection zone. The

Test Procedure (Appendix B) must be used to test for this condition.

9.3 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

9.3.1 ADDITIONAL GUARDING

Areas of access to the point of hazardous operation not guarded by the 4700 system must be

protected by suitable means such as a ﬁxed barrier guard, an interlocked guard or a safety mat. See

9.3.2 INSTALLATION OF MULTIPLE SYSTEMS

When two or more 4700 systems are mounted in close proximity and in alignment with each other,

precautions should be taken to avoid one curtain interfering with another. This can be corrected by

mounting the transmitters and receivers back-to-back or stacked. See Figure 9-7 for reference.

9.3.3 DETECTION ZONE

The 4700 detection zone is delineated by the inside edge of the transmitter and receiver endcaps.

The area outside these marks is not protected. Position the 4700 so that it is only possible to access

the danger point through the detection zone.

9.3.4 MARKING MINIMUM OBJECT RESOLUTION

Serial number labels on the transmitter and receiver indicate three possible minimum object

resolutions. During installation, use a permanent marker to obscure the object resolutions not set.

This will depend on whether no ﬂoating blanking, 1-beam or 2-beam ﬂoating blanking is set. See

Section 5.5 on page 23 for information.

9.3.5 ALIGNMENT

Physical alignment of the transmitter and receiver units is easiest when the 4700 system is in the

automatic start operating mode with Exact Channel Select inactive. The units should be in the same

plane and at equal height.

The Individual Beam Indicators will light when a beam is out of alignment. See Section 6.2—

Individual Beam Indicators for details.

9.3.6 INPUT POWER REQUIREMENTS/CONNECTIONS

• DIN controller and DC metal chassis controller:

The 4700 system operates directly from 24 VDC ± 20%, 2.25A*. Power to the 4700 system must

come from a dedicated power supply which must meet the requirements of IEC60204-1 and IEC

61496-1, STI part number 42992 or equivalent. The 4700 system internally generates voltages for its

own use. No other devices should be connected to these voltages.

*Internal consumption of power by the controller is less than 10 watts (415mA)

• AC metal chassis controller:

100 - 230 VAC @ 30 VA.

9.3.7 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PERIMETER GUARDING

In perimeter guarding applications the 4700 detection zone is placed around the outside perimeter

of a guarded machine or robot. This placement leaves space for personnel to stand between the

detection zone and the hazardous machine.

In this case, the guarded machine must only be restarted using a switch located outside and with a

full view of the area of hazardous motion. Operation of the 4700 system in the start/restart interlock

operating mode is suitable for perimeter guarding.

9.3.8 PRESENCE SENSING DEVICE INITIATION

Using the light curtain to initiate a machine after an object is removed from the sensing area is

called Presence Sensing Device Initiation (PSDI). Use of PSDI places additional requirements on the

guarding and safety controls. It can restrict advanced light curtain features such as Floating

Blanking and Exact Channel Select. Contact STI for further information. Good sources of reference

for PSDI include: ANSI RIA 15.06-1999, OSHA 1910.217(h), and ANSI B11.2-1995.

10.1.1 CONNECTING TO A SAFETY MONITORING DEVICE

The wiring from the 4700 system to the machine control circuit must be control reliable as

described in ANSI B11.19-1990. Normally PLCs are not designed to be control reliable. Safety

devices, such as the 4700 system should not depend on a PLC to stop a guarded machine.

However, safety related monitoring devices are now available. See Figure 10-1 for connection to

such a device. Note that all safety inputs are directed to the monitoring device which also performs

the MPCE monitoring function.

HECKOUT

AND

EST

ROCEDURES

11.1 CHECKOUT PROCEDURE

Once the 4700 system has been conﬁgured, mounted, aligned and properly connected to the

machine control system, the initial Checkout Procedure detailed in Appendix A must be performed

by qualiﬁed personnel. A copy of the checkout results should be kept with the machine records.

11.2 TEST PROCEDURE

WARNING! The tests outlined in the Test Procedure in Appendix B must be performed

at installation, according to the employer’s regular inspection program and after any

maintenance, tooling change, set up, adjustment, or modiﬁcation to the 4700 system or

the guarded machine. Where a guarded machine is used by multiple operators or

shifts, it is suggested that the test procedure be performed at each shift or operation

change. Testing ensures that the light curtain and the machine control system work

properly to stop the machine. Failure to test properly could result in serious injury to

personnel.

The Test Procedure must be performed by qualiﬁed personnel. To test the 4700 system without

Exact Channel Select and Floating Blanking disabled, use the STI-supplied test object. For

applications where Exact Channel Select or Floating Blanking are enabled, see Table 5-5, Table 5-6,

Table 5-7 and Table 5-8 to determine the proper size test object.

When using a 4700 system for Automatic Start Mode operation, in conjunction with an RM-1 relay

module, it is necessary to verify that the RM-1 outputs can properly change state by causing an

intentional beam break at least every change of shift or 24 hours of operation.

11.3 USING THE TEST OBJECT

When using the test object, guide it through the detection zone as shown below. Pay particular

attention to areas which may be affected by Exact Channel Select. If Floating Blanking is active, use

a proper size test object.

11.4 TEST CONSIDERATIONS WHEN USING EXACT CHANNEL SELECT OR

FLOATING BLANKING

Warning! Use of Exact channel Select and/or Floating Blanking will make the 4700 system less

sensitive to objects in the detection zone. Improper use of either can result in severe injury to

personnel. Exact Channel Select may require a hard barrier guard (see section 5.8), Floating

Blanking requires an increase in the safety distance. Read section 5 carefully.

When Exact Channel Select and/or Floating Blanking are active the user must verify that the

detection zone is being used as intended, including the size and location of the selected/blanked

beams.

Check for the following condition:

1. That unauthorized modiﬁcation of the detection zone is not possible. The controller should be

installed in an enclosure with supervisor-controlled access.

2. That the area selected by Exact Channel Select is:

a. Completely blocked by an obstruction; or

b. that those areas not blocked by an obstruction are protected by supplemental guarding.

If neither of these conditions can be met, the safe mounting distance of the 4700 system should be

modiﬁed in accordance with the safe mounting distance formulas presented in Section 8—Safe

Mounting Distance.

3. Using a proper size test object and the method described in Section 11.3—Using the Test Object,

check those areas which have not been programmed by Exact Channel Select. Be sure that they

have not been accidientally selected as well.

• Response Time for MCF4700, MCJ4700 and MSF4700

The MCF and MCJ can have up to four segments. It is possible for each segment to have a different

minimum object resolution.

Step 1: Determine the number of beams in each segment using Table 14-1, Table 14-2 and Table 14-

3.**

Step 2: Use the formula below to determine response time:

(Total number of beams x 0.0924) + 5.21 msec = response time in msec.

**The total number of beams in a system cannot exceed 192.

MCF4700 example:

MCF47-12200-301800-20300

The unit has three segments, a 12 mm resolution of 200 mm length, a 30 mm resolution of 1800

length and a 20 mm resolution of 300 mm length.

Table 14-1 show 32 beams for the 12 mm segment, Table 14-3 show 84 beams for the 30 mm

segment and Table 14-2 shows 28 beams for the 20 mm segment. The total number of beams is:

32 + 84 + 28 = 144.

From the formula:

(144 beams x 0.0924) + 5.21 ms = 18.5 ms.
