3.1 Structure and function
Overview
T
he L26 single-beam photoelectric safety switch is an electro-sensitive protective
device consisting of a sender and receiver.
The hazardous area is protected by means of a light beam between the sender and

azard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Certain types of light radiation can influence the protective device, e.g., light radiation
from fluorescent lamps with electronic ballast installed in the path of the beam, or
beams from laser pointers directed at the receiver.
b
If this type of light radiation is present in the environment of the protective device,
take additional measures to ensure that the protective device does not become
dangerous.
4.3.1 Minimum distance from the hazardous point
Overview
A minimum dis
tance must be maintained between the single-beam photoelectric safety
switch and the hazardous point. This distance is required to prevent a person or part of
their body from reaching the hazardous point before the end of the machine’s danger‐
ous state.
Calculating the minimum distance according to ISO 13855
The calculation of the minimum distance is based on international or national stan‐
dards and statutory requirements applicable at the place of installation of the machine.
If the minimum distance is calculated according to ISO 13855, it depends on the fol‐
lowing points:
•
Machine stopping time (time interval between triggering the sensor function and
the end of the machine’s dangerous state)
•
Response time of the protective device
•
Reach or approach speed of the person
•
Number of beams and beam separation of the single-beam photoelectric safety
switch
•
Type of approach: orthogonal (at right angles) or parallel
•
Parameters specified based on the application
For the USA (scope of OSHA and ANSI), different regulations may apply, e.g.:
a) Laws: Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29 (CFR 29), Part 1910.217
b) Standards: ANSI B11.19

4.3.1.1 Calculating minimum distance from the hazardous point
Important information
DANGER
Minimum dis
tance from the hazardous point is too small
The dangerous state of the machine may not be stopped or not be stopped in a timely
manner due to a minimum distance that is too small.
b
Calculate the minimum distances for the machine in which the single-beam photo‐
electric safety switch is integrated.
b
When mounting the single-beam photoelectric safety switch, observe the minimum
distance.
Approach
T
he example shows the calculation of the minimum distance for an orthogonal (at right
angles) approach to the single-beam photoelectric safety switch. Depending on the
application and the ambient conditions, a different calculation may be required (e.g., at
a different angle to the direction of approach or an indirect approach).
1. Calculate S using the following formula:
S = K × T + C
where:
°
S = minimum dis
tance in millimeters (mm)
°
K = approach speed of 1600 mm/s
°
T = machine stopping time + response time of the protective device after
interruption in the light path in seconds (s)
°
C = adjustment factor that depends on the number of beams (1, 2, 3 or 4)

4.3.2 Minimum distance from reflective surfaces
Overview
T
he light beam from the sender may be deflected by reflective surfaces and dispersive
media. This can prevent an object from being detected.
Therefore, all reflective surfaces and objects (e.g. material bins, machine table, etc.)
must be kept at a minimum distance (a) from the light beam. This minimum distance
(a) must be maintained on all sides of the light beam. This applies in horizontal, vertical
and diagonal directions as well as at the end of the device. The same area must be free
of dispersive media (e.g., dust, fog, or smoke).
The minimum distance (a) depends on the distance (D) between sender and receiver.

The test input is provided for the purposes of checking the functioning of the sender
and receiver. When used in combination with an external test device to evaluate the
test results, the protective device is suitable for safety applications.
Functionality
A
s soon as the test input is activated, the light beam of the sender is switched off to
simulate an object having been detected.
b
Refer to table 5 to check the function.
b
If the switching output fails to behave in accordance with table 5, check the appli‐
cation conditions.

4.4.4 Application diagnostic output
Overview
An applic
ation diagnostic output can be configured on pin 2 of the system connection
of the receiver via IO-Link.
The application diagnostic output will signal a specific status of the protective device
depending on the configuration.
The status of the protective device is indicated via the yellow status LED.
Output signals
T
he following signals can be outputted via the application diagnostic output:
•
Alarm
When Alarm is configured on the application diagnostic output, the application
diagnostic output signals when the protective device is only partially operational,
for example if the sender or receiver is contaminated or poorly aligned.
In the good state: LOW (0), if excessively contaminated HIGH (1), see table 6,
page 20

When Health is configured on the application diagnostic output, the application
dia
gnostic output signals when the protective device is only partially operational,
for example if the sender or receiver is contaminated or poorly aligned, or the
cable is damaged.
In the good state: HIGH (1), if excessively contaminated or in the event of cable
interruption LOW (0), see table 6, page 20

4.4.5 IO-Link
Overview
T
he protective device is IO-Link capable.
The IO-Link communication between the protective device and a PC can occur via an
IO-Link master. To do so, connect the IO-Link master to the system connection of the
receiver, and via a USB cable to a PC.
The connected protective device can be configured, or data exchanged or transferred
using the SOPAS ET configuration software.
Important information
DANGER
T
he output signal of the protective device that is evaluated via the external test device
is configured via IO-Link, e.g., using the logic or time delay functions.
This can slow down the response time of the protective device, or make it not possible
to evaluate it with the external test device.
b
Use the Q configuration for the switching output when using the protective device
in conjunction with an external test device.
b
Take the use of the logic and time delay functions appropriately into consideration
in the risk assessment.
