Question
What is the muting function?
Answer
Muting Function
The muting function temporarily disables the
safety function when a workpiece or conveying palette passes through the
detection area of a Safety Light Curtain or Safety Sensor.
The OMRON
F3SN-series Safety Light
Curtains and the F3SH-series Multibeam Safety Sensors do not have a muting
function, but the muting function can be used if the F3SP-U2P Muting
Controller for Safety Sensors (sold separately) is used in conjunction
with these products. Refer to the following application example.
Example Application Using
the Muting Function by Combining an F3SN with an F3SP-U2P
Note: The F3SP-U2P Muting Controller
distinguishes between workpieces and people passing through by the timing
of the detection by Muting Sensors A and B.
Adjust where Muting Sensors A and B are installed and the sensing
direction so that the passage of a person does not interrupt the beams
from both Sensors.
