POC Type 4 GuardShield Micro 400

Description
The GuardShield Micro 400 is an economical three-box (transmitter, receiver and controller) Type 4 safety light curtain offered in a small profile (15 x 20 mm (0.59 x 0.79 in.)) housing. Designed for use in benign industrial environments (IP54), this light-duty safety light curtain system is targeted to the semi-conductor, micro electronic and small assembly machine markets.
Protective heights are offered from 150…1200 mm (5.91…47.2 in.) in 150 mm (5.91 in.) increments. The compact housing size allows the GuardShield Micro 400 to be mounted in areas where standard safety light curtains may not be able to be mounted due to space constraints. It is also possible to recess the GuardShield Micro 400 transmitter and receiver into machine frames.
The Micro 400 requires a dedicated controller. The MSR41 controller is used for on/off application and the MSR42 can also be used as a multi-function safety module, allowing the connection of additional safety light curtains, safety laser scanner, or any safety device with two Output Signal Switch Devices (OSSD) outputs, or two contacts, such as E-stops and enabling switches.
There are a number of operating modes that can be configured with the MSR42 controller. EDM, START/Restart interlock, fixed and floating blanking and muting are possible.
The Micro 400 transmitter and receiver are offered with 8-pin M12 connectors at the end of 500 mm (19.8 in.) integrated cables. The patchcords to connect the transmitter and receiver to the controller are the same and are offered in 3, 5, and 8 m (9.8, 16.4, and 26.2 ft) lengths. These patchcords are configured on one end with M12 connectors (which mate to the integrated pigtail connectors) and RJ45 connectors on the opposite end (which plug into the MSR42 controller).
Cascadable System
The GuardShield Micro 400 is also offered in a cascadable configuration. GuardShield Cascadable Micro 400 safety light curtains allow the interconnection of multiple segments of the Micro 400 safety light curtain with a common pair of safety outputs. This cascadable configurability of the GuardShield Micro 400 reduces overall system wiring and allows the GuardShield Micro 400 to be fitted into a variety of applications where the safety distances for mounting the light curtain may allow personnel to stand between the sensing field of the light curtain and the hazard or where multiple sided guarding is required and the use of corner mirrors is not possible.
A GuardShield Cascadable Micro 400 safety light curtain system is comprised of one or two pairs of Cascadable Micro 400 light curtains as well as a standard Micro 400 pair as the last segment pair in the cascaded system.
GuardShield Micro 400 cascaded pairs are offered in both 14 mm and 30 mm resolutions in limited protected heights which are listed in the table below. It is possible to mix 14 mm and 30 mm resolution pairs in a cascaded Micro 400 system.

|
The standard GuardShield Micro 400 must always be the last segment in a cascaded Micro 400 system. |
The cascadable Micro 400 safety light curtains are ordered as pairs (transmitter and receiver) and are shipped under one cat. no. After selecting the appropriate light curtain cat. nos. for a cascaded Micro 400 system, select the standard Micro 400 pair as the last segment in the cascaded system and also select interconnecting patchcords.
A cascadable pair of GuardShield Micro 400 light curtains has a 500 mm (19.8 in.) pigtail with a female M12 QD on the bottom of the Micro 400 light curtain and a 500 mm (19.8 in.) pigtail with a male M12 QD attached to the top of the Micro 400 transmitter and receiver.
The GuardShield Cascadable Micro 400 system operates as a single light curtain pair with a common set of OSSDs. Each segment pair is connected in series making the response time of the complete system the sum of each segment pair, plus the response time of the MSR41 or MSR42 and other safety devices in the stop circuit.
When connecting two cascadable segments together, the resultant cable length between segments is 1000 mm (39.6 in.).
If an additional length between segment pairs is required, Rockwell Automation offers an M12-to-M12 patchcord in 1 m (39.37 in.) and 3 m (118.1 in.) lengths (Cat. Nos. 445L-AC8PC1 or 445L-AC8PC3).
