“Smart Process Gating” is the name of a new process, through which muting applications are cheaper, simpler and safer.
For muting applications in transport and storage systems - especially in the automotive and packaging sectors - sensors that detect goods transported in the protected field and which are bypassed to allow passage at the right time, were up until now necessary. Based on MLC safety light curtains, SPG therefore makes additional sensors unnecessary. Conveying systems can therefore be more compact, without risk of misalignment or damage to the sensors (hence purchasing, maintenance, wiring costs and risks of activation have been eliminated, while increasing the safety of the device). With the new process, the first muting signal comes from the PLC while the second is generated by the same protected field.
“SPG” requires a detailed knowledge of the process, so that the necessary control signals are available on schedule.
