Guardscan® B Series Solo Light Curtains
The Guardscan B Series/Solo Light Curtain manufactured by
Tapeswitch Ltd. is a versatile development of the highly successful Guardscan range of
B Series Light Curtains which have been widely used in safety applications throughout industry for many years in order to provide protection for operators working at or near dangerous machinery.
The B Series/Solo Light Curtain will be of particular interest to users of ASi-Safety at Work and other safety bus systems.
The majot difference between the B Series /Solo Light Curtain and any other light curtains is that the B Series /Solo Light Curtain has a Catagory 4 fail-safe monitoring function built into the light curtain. This configuration is ideal for use with AS-Interface systems, which connect sensors and actuators to remote control systems through only a 2-wire cable. This means that the B Series/Solo Light Curtain can connect directly to the same kind of ASi-Safe I/O connection modules that are used to monitor E-Stop switches over the ASi-Safe interface.
The Guardscan B Series/Solo Light Curtain is approved by TÜV and conforms to EN954 Category 4 when used in conjunction with ASi-Safe I/O modules.
