If a safety level of SIL 2 \/ PL d (or higher) is required and it is nevertheless intended to use a safety light curtain, then it will be necessary to use a Type 4 safety light curtain.<\/p>\n<p>This regulatory requirement derives from the fact that the reduction of risk that can be obtained via a photoelectric safety light curtain is not only a function of the safety level of its electronic parts, but is also determined by its systematic capabilities (for example: environmental influences, EMC, optical performance and detection principle).<\/p>\n<p>The systematic capability of a Type 2 photoelectric light curtain may in fact not be sufficient to ensure adequate risk reduction for SIL 2 \/ PL d applications.The standard also establishes that the labelling of Type 2 safety light curtains must indicate such limitation to SIL 1 \/ PL c.<\/p>\n<p>The PFH<sub>D<\/sub> values declared for the electronic control part of the device, on the other hand, are not limited and therefore it is possible to use the PFH<sub>D<\/sub> value provided by the manufacturer of the device in the global assessment of the safety function, even if it exceeds the SIL 1 \/ PL c range.<\/p>\n<h3>Protected height<\/h3>\n<p>This is the height controlled by the light curtain. If it is positioned horizontally, this value shows the depth of the protected zone.<\/p>\n<h3>Range<\/h3>\n<p>This is the maximum working distance that may exist between the emitter and the receiver. When deflection mirrors are used, it is necessary to take into account the attenuation factor introduced by each of them, which it is about 15%.<\/p>\n<h3>Response time<\/h3>\n<p>This is the time it takes for the light curtain to transmit the alarm signal from the time the protected zone is interrupted.<\/p>\n<h3>Resolution<\/h3>\n<p>The resolution, for all ReeR safety light curtains, is the minimum size of an object that, placed into the controlled area, will obscure the controlled zone and hence stop the hazardous movement of the machine.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Single beam light barriers: their resolution R is the same as the diameter of the lens. (R = D)<\/li>\n<li>Multibeam light curtains: their resolution R is the same as the sum of the lens diameter + the distance between two adjacent lenses.<br>Resolution (R = P + D).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div
