Connecting to the light curtain is done using plug-in connections, which shorten setup and replacement time.

A spring method is used for the terminal blocks for connections other than to the light curtain. There is no need to control tightening torques for these terminal blocks.

Removable terminal blocks reduce the work required for reconnecting wiring during maintenance.

The strong metal enclosure has a built-in safety relay. It has an IP65 protective structure, so that it can be set up individually without the need to be inserted into a control panel.

22.5 mm 0.886 in thickness, so it can even be inserted into narrow spaces inside panels.

SF-C14EX controls the motors that use muting control (robots) and the motors that do not use muting control (turntables) with a single unit.
When an object comes in, the turntable can be stopped and the robot can keep its operating condition to protect the safety of the operator and to maintain productivity.

・Safety circuit 1: Linked to light curtain beam received / interrupted status (partial stop):
When the light curtain is interrupted (when an object enters or a person intrudes), this circuit switches off (open) the safety output and stops the turntable.

・Safety circuit 2: Linked to muting control (partial stop):
If an object enters when the turntable has stopped normally, (muting condition is achieved), this circuit allows the robot to operate.
If an object enters while the turntable is turning (muting condition is not achieved), this circuit switches off (open) the safety output and stops the robot.

・Safety circuit 3: Linked to emergency stop input (all stop):
When the emergency stop button is pressed, this circuit switches off (open) the safety output and stops all equipment (turntable and robot).

If one of the two muting lamps that are connected to the unit blows, a warning outout is released. It is possible to replace the lamp before both lamps blow and the equipment stops. In addition, auxiliary output that is linked to the muting function, override function, and light curtain control output is also available.

If a problem should occur, the same output (OFF signal) as if an object has been detected will be maintained in order to ensure safety, and the details of the error will appear on the digital display.
