6 SETTING THE FUNCTIONS

There are two options for configuring the light curtain’s functions and operating
configurations:
- Basis configuration mode (BCM):
In basic configuration mode you have the option to use the buttons and the LED interface
(transmitter/receiver) to select basic functions/parameters.

- Advanced configuration mode (ACM):
In advanced configuration mode you have the option to use the PC software
PSENopt Configurator (only for the receiver) to select advanced functions/parameters. For
configuration via software the PSEN op Advanced Programming Adapter is required.

CAUTION: Configuration via ACM will overwrite a configuration
created via BCM! A new BCM configuration can only be created when
the ACM configuration is deleted. This protects the light curtain from
accidental changes.


Basic configuration mode
The user interface consists of 8 LEDs and 3 protected pushbuttons and enables the user to
perform the basic configuration. The LEDs are the same LEDs used to display status in
normal operating mode.
A plastic pen is provided (see Chapter 13), which the user must use to activate the
pushbuttons, thus preventing unwanted access to the safety configuration.

Basic configuration steps
On the right-hand side of the operator panel at transmitter and receiver there is a settings
interface, consisting of three pushbuttons. The interfaces give users the option to set the light
curtain locally, without using the PSENopt Configurator.

• CONFIRM button activates the BCM configuration mode

• SELECT button: The different functions are run through.

• ENABLE button: Activates and deactivates the currently selected function.

The individual steps are described below:

1. Press the CONFIRM button and keep it held down to switch to basic configuration

mode.

2. The light curtain runs through a test cycle. With the transmitter the LEDs 2 and 3 light

up one after the other, with the receiver the LEDs 2 to 8. The Power LED 1 is
constantly lit.
After the test cycle is completed, the current configuration is displayed

3. Use the SELECT function to choose the function that is to be set. The LED for the

selected function will flash.

4. Now configure the selected function by pressing the ENABLE button (LED lights/goes

out).

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the required configuration is displayed.
6. Press the CONFIRM button and keep it held down to save the new configuration.

If an advanced configuration has already been set on the light curtain (via the
PSENopt Configurator on the PC), pressing the button just once during step 2 will generate a
