7.   Safety Light Curtains—Cascadable System

The Allen-Bradley Guardmaster SafeShield cascadable family of safety light curtains are ordered as a pair—transmitter and receiver—and is shipped under one catalog number. After selecting the appropriate light curtain pair, ensure that required interfaces and accessories are ordered as well.

Cascadable devices come with two M23 connectors; a system connector on one end of the device to connect the light curtain to your safety control system and an extension connector on the other end of the device to connect to the next light curtain segment. The maximum number of segments is three.

The first segment of a two-cascaded system and the first and second segment of a three-cascaded system must always be a cascadable device (with a connector on both ends). This allows you to connect additional segments to the system (maximum of three segments). The last segment, which is either the second segment of a two-cascaded system or the third segment of a three-cascaded can be a standard light curtain system ordered on Product Selection which would only have a connector on one end. The maximum number of beams of all segments cannot exceed 480 beams.

Resolution can be mixed between segments. For example, the first segment could be a 14 mm resolution and the second segment could be a 30 mm resolution.
