Panasonic ST4-C11 Compact Safety Beam Sensor Controller

This unit is the controller for the ST4 safety beam sensor system. The controller has the functionality to support productivity as well as making it easier to design safety circuits. A dual PNP or dual NPN output gives versatile operation and up to six sets can be serially connected whilst still giving interference prevention.

The ST4 is a safety light beam system that is extremely effective in both wide areas and narrow spaces. The fully featured system has a long sensing range, enabling the securing of facilities where the installation of a guardian fence is not feasible. It is possible to serially connect a number of sensors and controllers so that comprehensive coverage of an area is possible. An emission amount adjuster is provided which is used to control the amount of interaction with surrounding sensors. The compact sensor head saves space and gives more flexibility in the design of safety systems.
