Description
Product Name: 440L-P4D0900 Allen Bradley Central control module
Product details:
The Allen-Bradley GuardShield 440L-P4D0900 is a Type 4 Safety Light Curtain designed to protect personnel from injury by detecting when a hand or other object interrupts the sensing field.
-
Modular Design: This model is a Receiver (Emitter model sold separately) component of the GuardShield series. A key feature is its innovative modular design, where the light curtain uses interchangeable end-caps and integrated-laser alignment.
-
Active/Passive Mode: The 440L is capable of operating in a “cascaded” system using Active/Passive units, which allows for complex guarding configurations around multiple sides of a machine without needing multiple wiring runs back to the control panel.
-
Resolution: The ‘P4’ in the model number typically indicates a finger-resolution capability (14 mm resolution), making it suitable for point-of-operation guarding where finer detection is required.
-
Integrated Functions: It often includes features like External Device Monitoring (EDM) and Muting capabilities (when used with an appropriate safety relay or controller).
2. Product Specifications (Key Parameters)

| Protected Height / Length | 900 mm (Approx. 35.4 inches) |
| Operating Range | Up to 12 m (Typical, depending on model) |
| Inputs/Outputs | Safety OSSD Outputs (2), EDM Input, Auxiliary Output (depending on configuration) |
| Power Supply | 24V DC (Typically 24V DC $\pm$ 20%) |
| Housing Material | Aluminum Extrusion |
| Enclosure Rating | IP65 (Protection against dust and low-pressure water jets) |
3. Product Advantages
-
High Safety Rating: Meets the highest level of safety requirements (Type 4, PLe, SIL CL 3), ensuring maximum personnel protection.
-
Modular Flexibility: The single-cable connection and modular design simplify wiring and inventory. Units can be easily replaced or reconfigured.
-
Integrated Laser Alignment: Features an integrated red laser for quick, accurate, and easy alignment over long distances, significantly reducing setup time.
-
Cost-Effective Cascading: The Active/Passive models allow for complex perimeter guarding with fewer units and less wiring, saving cost and complexity.
-
Robust and Durable: The robust aluminum housing and IP65 rating provide reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
4. Precautions (Important Considerations)
-
Correct Resolution: Ensure the 14 mm finger resolution is appropriate for the minimum safe distance (calculated using the speed of the machine and the light curtain’s response time).
-
Installation/Alignment: Light curtains must be mounted rigidly and properly aligned. Misalignment can lead to nuisance trips or failure to detect an intrusion. Always use the integrated alignment tools.
-
Proper Muting: If using the muting function (bypassing the safety function temporarily for material to pass), ensure the muting sensors are correctly positioned and timed to prevent personnel from defeating the safety system.
-
EDM Wiring: The External Device Monitoring (EDM) function must be correctly wired to monitor the contactors or relays. This ensures that the safety outputs (OSSDs) cannot be bypassed.
-
Standards Compliance: Installation and use must comply with all applicable local, national, and international safety standards (e.g., OSHA, ANSI, ISO 13849-1).
5. Product Applications
The Allen-Bradley GuardShield 440L-P4D0900 is ideal for any industrial application requiring point-of-operation or perimeter guarding where access to a hazardous area is required for routine machine operation.
-
Presses and Brakes: Protecting the operator’s hands during material loading and unloading.
-
Assembly and Packaging Lines: Guarding the entry and exit points of automated machinery.
-
Robotic Work Cells: Creating a protective field around the robot’s operating area to safely stop movement when a person approaches.
-
Material Handling Equipment: Used as access barrier sensors on conveyors and palletizers.
-
General Machine Guarding: Any machine with a potential hazard where a physical barrier is impractical or frequently needs to be opened.
