Light Curtain Function Block Parameters
Set these parameters for the LC function block.
Light Curtain Function Block Truth Tables
In the truth table, 0 is off and 1 is on.
Light Curtain Function Block Error Handling
A discrepancy error is generated when one of the inputs is not in its
correct state for longer than the Discrepancy Time. For example, in
Dual Channel Equivalent mode, both inputs must be active (on)
within the Discrepancy Time or an error occurs.
LC Function Block Parameters
Parameter Valid Range Default Setting
Input Type Dual Channel Equivalent
Dual Channel Complementary
Dual Channel Equivalent
Discrepancy Time
0…30 s in 10 ms increments.
(1)
The discrepancy time must be equal to or
greater than the cycle time of the
controller.
(1) A discrepancy time check is not performed when the discrepancy time is set to 0.
