With the new, multifunctional light curtains PSENopt Advanced, the complete supplier for automation, Pilz, expands its range of light curtains for safe access to hazardous areas. With PSENopt Advanced, depending on the requirement, muting, blanking, or cascading can be implemented with the same light curtain. This allows PSENopt to be flexibly and easily adapted to the application environment at any time. The accompanying software, PSENopt Configurator, simplifies commissioning and operation.

Thanks to their multifunctionality, the light curtains offer very high flexibility: Depending on the requirement, either muting, blanking, or cascading can be realized with just one light curtain. At the same time, PSENopt Advanced guarantees maximum safety up to PLe: The light grids operate with continuous individual beams, which completely eliminate the so-called "dead zones." This allows the light curtains to be positioned closer to the application. PSENopt Advanced can thus be installed space-saving and also provide increased protection.

At the same time, the individual beams facilitate alignment and monitoring of the light curtain with the new software PSENopt Configurator. Furthermore, the PSENopt Configurator ensures quick diagnostics, as interruptions of the light curtain can be immediately assigned.

When using multiple PSENopt Advanced light curtains, optical coding prevents mutual interference of the light curtains. This, in turn, increases flexibility regarding installation.

In combination with the configurable control systems PNOZmulti, the light curtains offer full functionality and provide a safe complete solution up to PL e for all industries and applications.
