The FF-LS equipment is an infrared multibeam device designed to protect operators
working on dangerous machines. The FF-LS equipment features are ideal for the
protection of work stations on small machines such as paper-cutting machines or
pick-and-place robots.
The permanent self-checking electronic process is based upon a microprocessor
technology and meets the requirement of the IEC/EN 61496- parts 1 & 2 European
standards for Type 4 electrosensitive protective equipment.
It has been examined by the TÜV who granted the EC type examination certificate.
The equipment consist of a pair of sensing units connected to a separate control
unit via a RS-485 connection.
Each sensing unit is made of a row of emitting circuits alternating with receiving
circuits. These circuits are housed in an extremely small aluminium extruded pro-
file: the cross section is only 12 mm x 19,7 mm / 0.47 in x 0.77 in.
The two sensors are matched to each other by individual coding to reduce risk of
cross talk with other light curtains and to improve immunity to welding splashes.
The control unit supplies the sensing units, controls the correct operation of the
scanning circuits and transmits the resulting commands to the machine control
circuitry through its two relay outputs.
The equipment can operate according to two different mode: the automatic mode,
the start & restart interlock mode.
In addition, the control unit is featured with a test input to trigger the output relays
switching and thus check the correct operation of the final switching devices when-
ever needed. In case of failure, the control unit provides optical and acoustic signals
to ease failure diagnostic.
