Description
Product Name: 442L-RA41230DBCD Allen Bradley Input module
Product details:
The Allen-Bradley 442L-RA41230DBCD is a specific model within the GuardShield™ Light Curtain family, designed for safety applications in industrial environments. It is a safety device used to protect personnel from dangerous machinery by creating an invisible detection zone.
📋 Product Parameters (Specifications)
The 442L-RA41230DBCD model features specific characteristics that define its use and performance:
| Feature | Specification/Description |
| Product Series | GuardShield Safety Light Curtain |
| Model Type | Receiver (RX) |
| Resolution/Detecting Capability | 14 mm (Finger Protection) |
| Protective Height | 410 mm |
| Operating Voltage | 24V DC (Volts Direct Current) |
| Output Type | Dual Safety Outputs (OSSD – Output Signal Switching Device) |
| Connection Type | QD (Quick Disconnect) with a specific connector orientation (e.g., 5-pin, straight/right-angle, depends on exact code interpretation) |
| Safety Standard Compliance | Up to PLe, Safety Category 4 (ISO 13849-1) and SIL 3 (IEC 62061) |
| Response Time | Typically very fast (e.g., < 20 ms), essential for safety |
| Housing Material | Aluminum Extrusion, typically with a protective plastic front screen |
Note: The exact interpretation of the full catalog number (e.g., ‘BC’ and ‘D’ portions) may indicate specific connector types or features, but the core specifications above are common for this type of safety light curtain.
🚀 Product Advantages (Key Features)
-
Superior Personnel Safety: Meets the highest level of international safety standards (Category 4, PLe, SIL 3), ensuring maximum protection.
-
High Resolution (14 mm): Provides Finger Protection, meaning it can reliably detect objects as small as a human finger, making it ideal for guarding points of operation.
-
Built-in Diagnostics: Often includes diagnostic indicators (LEDs) for easy troubleshooting of alignment, contamination, and faults, reducing downtime.
-
Simplified Installation: Quick Disconnect (QD) cables and self-monitoring features make setup and commissioning faster.
-
Robust and Reliable: Designed with rugged housing to withstand harsh industrial environments (vibration, dust, moderate splashes).
-
Integrated Muting (Optionally): These systems often support muting functions for temporary, automatic bypass of the light curtain (e.g., allowing material to pass while maintaining safety) when connected to a compatible safety controller.
⚠️ Precautions (Important Notes)
-
Proper System Integration: This is a safety component and must be connected to a dedicated Safety Relay or Safety PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for proper system operation. Do not connect the OSSD outputs directly to standard PLC inputs or non-safety devices.
-
Alignment is Critical: The Receiver (RX) and Transmitter (TX) must be precisely aligned for the light curtain to function correctly. Misalignment can lead to nuisance trips or, critically, failure to detect.
-
Operating Distance: Ensure the operational range (emitter-to-receiver distance) is within the specified limits for the model to guarantee reliable detection.
-
Regular Testing: The entire safety circuit, including the light curtain, should be tested regularly (e.g., daily or per shift) as required by safety regulations and standards.
-
Contamination/Obstruction: Keep the light curtain lens free from dirt, oil, and debris, as this can interfere with the optical beam and cause false trips or masking.
⚙️ Product Applications (Typical Use Cases)
The 442L-RA41230DBCD light curtain is primarily used for point-of-operation guarding where frequent access is required, but continuous barrier guarding is impractical.
-
Machine Guarding: Protecting operators from dangerous motion on:
-
Power Presses and Hydraulic Presses
-
Robotic Work Cells
-
Assembly and Packaging Machinery
-
Conveyors and Palletizers
-
-
Access/Perimeter Guarding: Used to protect the perimeter of a hazardous zone (though a higher resolution light curtain like this is typically reserved for point of operation).
-
Automated Production Lines: Integrating safety into high-speed manufacturing processes to halt machinery instantly upon detection of a human intrusion.
