6026247

Overview

The SICK model 6026247 is a safety light curtain belonging to the C4000 series, designed for area protection and personnel safeguarding. It features a resolution of 30 mm and a detection height of 900 mm. The device utilizes a red LED light source with a wavelength of 650 nm and an optical power output of less than 1 mW. It operates on a DC supply voltage ranging from 24 V (+/- 20%). Key electrical parameters include a response time of 20 ms and a minimum object separation of 30 mm. The unit provides two safety-relevant PNP outputs and supports Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality via its integrated interface.

Feature Summary

• Equipped with a 30 mm resolution for effective personnel detection in safeguarding applications
• Integrates Safe Torque Off (STO) capability for direct motor control safety
• Features dual safety-relevant PNP outputs for reliable signal transmission
• Designed with a compact form factor suitable for standard machine guarding setups

Applications

• Area protection for industrial machinery and automated equipment
• Personnel safeguarding at hazardous zones of manufacturing lines
• Integration into systems requiring Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official SICK datasheet to ensure compatibility with required mounting brackets and cable assemblies. Confirm that the 24 V DC supply and PNP output logic match the existing PLC or safety controller inputs. Ensure the 30 mm resolution meets the safety distance requirements calculated for the specific hazard being guarded.

Selection Notes

Select this model based on the required 900 mm detection height and 30 mm resolution. Verify that the C4000 series interface protocol is compatible with the target safety controller. Consider the environmental conditions, such as ambient light interference, which the C4000 series is designed to mitigate through its specific modulation technology.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK C4000 series of safety light curtains, a line known for robust performance in industrial automation. The series offers various resolutions and heights to suit different safety categories. Model 6026247 specifically addresses medium-range protection needs with a balance of resolution and coverage, fitting within SICK's portfolio of comprehensive safety solutions.

Replacement Considerations

When replacing legacy units, verify that the new C4000 series mounting hardware is compatible with existing frames. Check if the previous model supported STO; if so, ensure the replacement maintains this feature. Confirm that the wiring harness connectors align with the new M12 or similar interface standards used by the C4000 series.
