SICK C40S Series Light Curtain, 1200mm Protective Height, 24V Maximum Supply Voltage - C40S-1203CA010

This light curtain is a safety sensor for industrial automation, designed to create a protective optical field that shuts down hazardous machinery when interrupted. Intended for normal industrial environments, the sender component operates from a 24V supply and uses optical synchronisation to maintain reliable beam alignment over long ranges. It is housed in an aluminium extruded profile and rated to IP65 for use where dust and water ingress protection is required.

Features and Benefits:

• 30mm beam resolution enhances object detection accuracy
• 21m maximum scanning distance extends protection range
• Type 4 safety classification provides high fault-tolerant operation
• SIL3 and PL e integrity support high safety performance
• 24V supply with residual ripple tolerance simplifies integration

Applications

• Suitable for guarding automated assembly lines
• Ideal for palletiser and robotic cell protection
• Used for perimeter protection in material handling
• Can be used for machine guarding in manufacturing plants
• Used with safety relays for restart interlock implementations

What environmental limits apply to its operation?

It functions between 0°C and +55°C with 15%-95% non‑condensing humidity and withstands vibration and shock per EN standards.

How is it connected to plant safety circuits?

The sender supports straight cable connection, conductor cross‑section 0.75mm², and permitted cable length up to 50m depending on load and wiring.

What mechanical form does the sender take?

The housing is an aluminium extruded profile with a cross‑section of 48mm x 40mm and a weight of approximately 2,530g.

What diagnostic or status feedback is available?

A 7‑segment display provides device information and status indications for alignment and operation.
