Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes on the product label to ensure compatibility with existing receiver units and mounting accessories. Confirm that the required cable assemblies match the M12 connector specifications. Check for any regional certification requirements such as CE or UL markings relevant to your installation location. Ensure the firmware version aligns with your PLC programming environment.

Selection Notes

Select this transmitter when a PROFIBUS DP interface is required for the C400 series safety light curtains. Consider the resolution and height requirements of the corresponding receiver unit to define the protective field dimensions. Evaluate the ambient conditions to confirm the IP67 rating meets environmental demands. Ensure the available power supply voltage matches the device specifications.

Part Context

This component is part of the SICK C400 series safety light curtains, designed for reliable personnel protection in industrial automation. The series emphasizes modular design and easy integration with various controller systems. The C400 line is known for its robustness and comprehensive diagnostic features, supporting high availability in critical safety applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must maintain the same series (C400) and interface type (PROFIBUS DP). Verify that the new unit has identical protective field parameters if replacing a failed component. Cross-reference with official SICK substitution lists for updated models with enhanced features while ensuring backward compatibility.
