SICK C40S Series Light Curtain, 1200mm Protective Height, 24V Supply Voltage - C40S-1204CA010


This light curtain sender unit provides safety detection for industrial environments by creating a protective sensing field to guard access to hazardous machinery. Designed for normal industrial use, it operates with optical synchronisation and delivers a configurable scanning range for flexible installation. The device is built into an aluminium extruded profile and rated to IP65 environmental protection, enabling operation in typical factory conditions.

Features and Benefits:


• 40mm beam resolution reduces detection gaps for small-object sensing
• 21m maximum scanning distance permits long-range safeguarding
• Type 4 safety classification achieves high-fidelity fault response
• 24V supply voltage supports standard industrial control systems
• SIL3 and PL e compliance ensures stringent functional safety

Applications


• Suitable for machine guarding in production lines
• Used with safety relays for access control systems
• Ideal for automated palletising protection zones
• Can be used for long-range perimeter safeguarding
• Used for integration in safety control architectures

What electrical supply tolerance is required?


The unit accepts 24V DC with an operational range of 19.2V to 28.8V and tolerates residual ripple up to 10%.

How is the device protected against environmental factors?


The housing provides IP65 ingress protection and can operate between 0°C and +55°C with non-condensing humidity.

What safety outputs and fault behaviour are provided?


In a fault at least one OSSD transitions to the OFF state and the system supports dual-channel output integration to disable hazardous states.

What mechanical and connector options exist for mounting?


The sender is supplied in an aluminium extruded profile with a DIN-style plug option and sliding-nut groove for side mounting.

How long is the expected mission time for safety calculations?


The specified mission time for safety assessment is 20 years.
