Muting Functions
|
|
The muting function temporarily disables the Safety Light Curtain when an
object must pass through the detection zone, such as when supplying a
workpiece to your equipment.
"Partial muting", which further
heightens the level of safety, and "position
detection muting", which allows muting when the safety
status can be determined by the position of a machine (such as a robot),
have been newly added to the muting function.
Partial Muting
Partial muting raises safety by muting only the beams of the Safety Light
Curtain in the area where the workpiece passes through, while preventing
muting in all other areas.
Position Detection Muting
This is used in applications where the workpiece is set in position each
time by an operator, and then a turntable or positioning robot moves the
workpiece to the area where the work is done. A limit switch or other
means is used to detect when the robot is in a safe position, and muting
is then applied.
|
Blanking Functions
|
|
When a part of a machine is located inside the detection zone of the
Safety Light Curtain, the safety output will normally remain OFF and the
machine cannot operate. The blanking function makes it possible to disable
specific beams for applications such as this.
Fixed Blanking
Floating Blanking
|
|
Warming
Zone |
|
A warning zone can be set to alert people before
they enter a danger zone.
For example, you can set the F3SJ to generate only an alarm when someone
approaches the danger zone, and to turn OFF the control output when
someone actually enters the danger zone. You can also divide the detection
zone for a single F3SJ into two zones, or set a warning zone for multiple,
series-connected F3SJ Units. Plus, the auxiliary output can be used to
activate a flashing lamp as a warning to alert the person before turning
OFF the machinery.
Dividing the zone between
series-connected sensors
A single sensor can also be divided

Selecting a device is as easy as
1-2-3
Step 1: Select the
required sensor length
The F3SJ incorporates the "perfect fit"
concept that is the feature of OMRON's other safety light curtains.
With a line-up of products in 1-beam increments, you can find the
sensor that fits your setup perfectly. Refer to the list of sensor
models on pages 10 and 11 to select the minimum sensor length required
to cover the area you want to protect.
(Note: We can also manufacture sensors
with lengths not included in the list of models. For details, please
consult your OMRON sales representative.)
Step 2: Select the
output transistor
Choose the PNP type when installing in
safety system configurations that comply with the Machinery Directive
or when using with a dedicated controller (F3SP-B1P or F3SX). NPN
types are also available as standard products when replacing existing
area sensors.
Step 3: Select the
application
In addition to finger protection, hand
protection, and hand/arm protection models, new models have been added
that detects a leg or the presence of a person.
For areas where there is only a short distance to the source of
danger, select a finger protection model. For areas where there is
some distance to the hazardous point and where the machinery stops
with sufficient time to spare, choose an economical hand/arm/body
protection model.
(Note: After selecting the type
of device, calculate the safety distance and change
your selection if necessary.)

A light curtain that is thin,
simple to use, and easy to install
|
The thin sensor saves
valuable space
The sensor is 6 mm thinner than our
previous models. When you include the newly designed mounting
brackets, which also enable beams to be aligned after the sensor is
mounted, the total thickness is 26 mm - a reduction of 19 mm compared
to previous models. The low profile means the sensor will not get in
the way when adding safety applications to existing equipment.
Flexible cable with a
5 mm bending radius makes wiring a snap
The F3SJ cables (0.3 m) have M12
connectors and can be routed in any direction. Problems with connector
compatibility have been eliminated
The included standard
mounting brackets are easier than ever to use
The included mounting brackets, which
are suitable for general use, have been redesigned with ease of use in
mind. The new design allows easy screwdriver access, even when
mounting in tight spaces. Also, after aligning the beams, screws can
be tightened while oriented perpendicular to the lens surface, just
like the panel mounting screws. On previous models, the carefully
adjusted beam angles would sometimes come out of alignment when
tightening the final screws. This problem has been solved with the
F3SJ, because the screw-tightening direction is different from the
angle adjustment direction. The result is reduced installation time.
Side-mounting in
tight spaces is simple
When using standard mounting brackets to
mount a sensor on its side, the bracket protrudes outward in front of
the lens surface. When this protrusion is of concern, use the F39-LJ2
side-mounting brackets (sold separately).
Easy to change from
previous models
When replacing your previous standard
multi-beam area sensor, use the F39-LJ4 top / bottom mounting bracket
B (sold separately), which features enlarged mounting holes.

Omron makes safety circuits
simple
Space-efficient &
low-cost setup
This setup, which only OMRON can
provide, features a sensor unit with an output feedback function
required for Safety Category 4. Simply by using a single G7SA or a
pair of G7S-E safety relays, you can easily and economically configure
a Category 4 safety circuit.
Wire-saving setup
Using single safety relays requires a
lot of labor for wiring. To simplify the connection process, use
F39-JC[]B two-connector cable and an F3SP-B1P dedicated controller.
Multi-input safety
circuit setup
When an emergency stop push-button
switch or door switch is used with the F3SJ-A light curtain, the
safety circuit may become complex, making circuit design difficult.
For this, we recommend using the F3SX safety controller. Select the
ideal model according to the required input combination. Use an
F39-CN5 branch connector (sold separately) to significantly reduce the
amount of labor required for wiring to the terminal block.

Are you
satisfied with your current safety light curtain?

Resistant to mutual
interference. No wiring between sensors and no interference for up to
3 sets.
OMRON has developed a unique
interference light prevention algorithm that automatically prevents
malfunction, even when light is received from 3 sets. This feature is
ideal for applications where it is not possible to perform wiring with
an interference sensor, such as between an AGV and installed
equipment.
Maximum protective
height of 2495 mm. Series connection is more convenient than ever.
Sensors with protective heights of up to
nearly 2.5 meters are available for applications that involve
large-sized workpieces. And if you happen to make changes in the
future, you can always extend the protective height with series
connections. Up to 4 sets, or 400 beams, can be series-connected, and
with series connection cables up to 15 meters in length, applications
can cover a wide area.
No bottlenecks in
workflow. Free-location brackets make vertical installation easy.
To create "perfect fit" installations
with no dead zones or extra space when making series connections in L-
or U-shaped configurations, use the F39-LJ3 free-location mounting
brackets (sold separately) and F39-JJR06L Side-by-side Series
Connection Cable.
In addition to the F39-JJR06L mentioned above, the F39-JJR15L and
F39-JJR3W etc. can also be used with series connection cables.
Combine safety and
productivity with a controllerless muting function
The "muting function" temporarily
disables the light curtain when an object must pass through the
detection zone, such as when supplying a workpiece to your equipment.
In the past, this function required a dedicated "muting controller".
but now it is built into the F3SJ. To use the muting function,
purchase the F39-CN6 key cap for muting (sold separately). The muting
function is enabled simply by replacing the unit's cap with this key
cap. In addition, a muting sensor that determines the muting timing,
as well as a muting lamp that communicates the muting status to other
operators, should be connected to the F3SJ.
A new and improved
LED indicator
The incident light level indicator uses
orange LED lights for LEVELS 1 to 3, and green LED lights for LEVELS 4
to 5. The green LED lights indicate that a stable amount of light is
being received. The error indicator uses a variety of illumination and
blinking patterns, enabling more detailed diagnosis results to be
communicated via the display.
Safety is not
compromised if you forget to connect a series connection cable
The connectors for series connection
feature an intelligent design. With previous models, series-connected
sensors would operate independently from others when a series
connection cable was accidentally left unconnected, such as when
equipment was moved. The F3SJ design addresses this issue. To connect
a series connection cable to the F3SJ, remove the key cap that is
required when the sensor is used by itself. The sensor does not
operate by itself without the key cap, so safety will not be
compromised if you happen to forget to connect the cable.
Complies with the
latest international safety standards and regulations
Like previous Category 4 safety light
curtains, the F3SJ conforms to the latest required safety standards
and regulations. Since the F3SJ also complies with IEC61508, the
international standard for functional safety, safety is ensured
regardless of where it is used.
• Can be used with equipment subject to
US OSHA standards (29 CFR 1910.212).
• Satisfies the requirements of the
ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999 standards for industrial robots.
• Models are also available which have
received S-mark certification from the Korea Occupational Safety and
Health Agency (KOSHA). These models have an “-S” at the end of the
model number.
New core technology
that supports reliability and customizability
The quality of safety light curtain
performance is determined by the quality of the emitter/receiver
elements. With previous models, one faulty beam resulted in the
malfunction of the entire sensor. However, the F3SJ features a newly
developed "1-bit module" that integrates the lens and other optical
parts with the emitter IC and receiver IC, which are key devices. With
characteristic inspection performed on each beam, as well as a
thorough quality traceability system using 2D code, performance is
assured.
