The safety grating is mainly a safety sensor that provides early warning, alarm, and normal operation by defining a certain range in the area scanned by the grating. Taking the industrial LEUZE brand as an example.

Install the grating in an area with potential safety hazards for personnel movement, establish a new project using LEUZE software after power on, and delineate the safety warning area and safety area of the project. The detection of safe areas is calculated by the encoding device inside the grating to determine the range you have designated.

The scope designated at the same time can be divided into several areas according to on-site needs, with a maximum of 8 areas designated. Provide early warning and alarm to prevent people or obstacles from entering hazardous areas.

There are 5 lights on the grating that can be displayed. Display the status of the work. When defining the area, the warning area should be larger than the warning area, and personnel should be warned before entering. But early warning does not affect production and can make indifference normal. After personnel enter the alarm area, the alarm will sound and the equipment will stop working.

The 5 lights can display warning, alarm, pollution, and normal respectively. The yellow light for warning is on, the red light for alarm is on, the rightmost light for pollution is on, and both green lights are on normally. When there is pollution, it is necessary to clean the dust on the surface of the grating in order to work properly. When the alarm is triggered, it can be reset by restarting. If it cannot be reset, the mirror can be recalibrated by understanding the software. After calibration, it will be fine.

Normally, the grating will send two input signals to the PLC, and at this time, the normally open will become normally closed. After receiving the signal, the PLC processes the signal and proceeds to the next step.

The grating can be used in the same application as the reset button. When something is not scanned, personnel reset it to ensure safety and generate the signal to the PLC.

So it is necessary to regularly maintain the grating and clean the mirror surface. When cleaning, special alcohol or non-woven fabric should be used to wipe it to prevent the alarm from affecting production.
