5.5.4. MSR42

Ö PC (Upload)

To review the configuration in a MSR42 control unit, the configuration data may be read out as follows:

1. Attach the Optical Interface to the controller

2. Disconnect the power supply to the MSR42 controller.

3. Connect the Optical Interface to the PC USB interface.

4. Select Menu item “MSR42 -> PC (Upload)” (#1 in

Figure 21).

5. A window will appear which shows the communication from the PC to the MSR42 control unit.

6. Now connect the +24V DC power supply to the MSR42 control unit, and the data transmission will start

7. After completion of the data transmission, a window will appear to confirm if the communication was successful.

8. In the “Design” tab, all of the configuration data is now available and can be verified. Check also the ”Configuration Control ...” button for an

overview of the configuration

5.6. Muting

5.6.1. General

A light curtain may be “automatically” overridden safely as a temporary measure in muting applications (e.g. a defined object on a conveyor should be
able to pass through a safety light curtain without triggering an emergency stop).

With the help of MSR42 Safety Configuration Tool four Muting modes can be configured for the Micro 400 safety light curtain.

• Two sensor, T-type muting (bidirectional operation)
• Four sensor, T-type muting (bidirectional operation)
• Two sensor, L-type muting (unidirectional operation)
• Two sensor T-type with muting enable signal (bidirectional operation)

Each of these functions can be configured

• with manual or automatic reset
• with or without muting lamp monitoring
• with or without monitoring of light curtain interruption
• various timing sequences and various maximum muting times
• with or without mute dependant override
• with or without muting sensor output delay

A detailed description about muting, muting restrictions as well as hints for the installation are given in the
standard IEC 62046. Additional hints are mentioned in the attachment A7 of IEC 61496-1.
