Light curtains/barriers PSENopt with integrated muting function

Muting is the safe, automatic and temporary suspension of a protection device. It is frequently used to transport material into and out of a danger zone.
Muting sensors are used to detect this material. During the process optoelectronic protection devices are suspended temporarily, while muting lamps signal their status.

Light curtains/barriers PSENopt have a certified, integral muting function. The integral muting solution on the PSENopt can be used cost-effectively for single safety functions.

If several safety functions are present, or particular demands are placed on the muting function, we recommend that the muting function is controlled via the PNOZmulti or via PSS/ SafetyBUS p components.

Additional functions such as override, monitored or automatic reset and partial muting can be set via the integrated DIP switches.
