S4B Safety Light Curtain

Cordsets for the S4B do more than simply provide power and communication. They determine if the light curtain is used as a standalone pair or as part of a cascade. Specific connection genders and color-coded cordsets simplify and error-proof installation, using yellow for connecting multiple light curtain sticks while black runs back to the controller. In case of cordset damage, you can reduce costly repairs by easily removing and replacing just the cordset instead of the entire curtain. The cordsets use standard 5-pin, M12 connectors for easy connection to safety I/O modules. An optional 8-pin cordset provides an EDM option for use with simple safety relays. 

Muting works by allowing objects to pass through operational light curtains by temporarily suspending their safety function, then resuming after the object has passed through the light curtain’s beams. Adding mute arm kits to the S4B helps create a muting solution that simplifies system design and installation. Available for one-sided, X-, and T- configurations, the rigid mute arms protect sensors from damage and misalignment. Flexible mounting options for photoelectric sensors accommodate a wide range of object sizes passing through. The muting block consolidates wiring by combining the S4B light curtains and non-safety sensors into one block.
