3. Optical Interface

The Optical Interface (Cat. Nr. 445L-AF6150) allows for a fast and easy communication between

• a GuardShield safety light curtain (Safe 2/Safe 4) and a PC or
• a safety controller module (MSR42) and a PC.

The Optical Interface can be used as a diagnosis tool (real time and long term diagnostics) in order to find errors such as insufficient supply voltage, a
short circuit of the output, etc.

The Optical Interface can also be used for down- and uploading configurations to a MSR42 controller. The MSR42 and Micro 400 features: blanking,
muting, override (and more) may be selected according to customer specific applications and downloaded as described in

chapter 5 on page 13.
