PS215-T11-H200 Mechanical Interlock Single Contact Switch IP67 - Stainless Steel Industrial Guard

1. Product Overview

​
The Schmersal PS215-T11-H200 represents a high-precision Type 4 safety light curtain engineered for space-constrained industrial applications requiring reliable personnel protection. This compact system features a 215mm protection height with 200mm resolution infrared beams ("H200" suffix), providing exceptional finger and hand protection capabilities compliant with ISO 13855 standards. Its defining kinematic mounting technology enables ±15° vertical beam deflection tolerance to compensate for installation misalignments or machinery vibration. The integrated T11 controller supports advanced safety functions including configurable muting sequences, floating blanking, and comprehensive diagnostic monitoring. Encased in rugged UV-stabilized polycarbonate housing with IP65 protection, the unit withstands harsh industrial environments featuring high-pressure washdowns, metal dust, coolants, and chemical exposure. Synchronization via cable or optional RF modules supports reliable operation at distances up to 15m between emitter and receiver units.

​2. Key Technical Parameters

​
Operating at 24V DC ±20%, the PS215-T11-H200 delivers exceptional safety performance certified to IEC 61496-1/2 Type 4, ISO 13849-1 PL e (Category 4), and IEC 62061 SIL 3 standards. The system features two pulsed infrared beams with 200mm resolution and a response time of ≤20ms from beam interruption to safety output shutdown. Electrical outputs include two OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) PNP semiconductor channels rated at 100mA @ 24V DC. Environmental specifications include an operating temperature range of -10°C to +55°C, ambient light immunity up to 40,000 lux, and robust resistance against mechanical shocks up to 30g. Connection is facilitated through 5-pin M12 connectors, while continuous self-diagnostics monitor 12 critical parameters including beam alignment stability, synchronization integrity, and voltage fluctuations.

​3. Primary Applications and Use Cases

​
This compact safety solution excels in precision protection scenarios where space constraints prohibit standard light curtains. Essential deployments include electronics manufacturing for guarding PCB assembly stations and SMT equipment, where its 200mm resolution provides unmatched finger protection. Pharmaceutical packaging operations utilize it to secure blister sealing and tablet counting machines, while small CNC machining centers implement it for operator protection during tool changes in benchtop milling applications. The system is equally valuable in laboratory automation for creating safety perimeters around analytical instruments and in robotic micro-assembly cells safeguarding collaborative operations handling miniature components. Additional critical applications include conveyor indexing stations detecting hand intrusion at compact transfer points and medical device production monitoring cleanroom assembly stations, particularly where thermal expansion or vibration would compromise conventional light curtains.

​4. Product Advantages and Functional Benefits

​
The PS215-T11-H200 delivers significant operational advantages through its innovative design. Its kinematic mounting system provides unparalleled installation flexibility by absorbing ±15° angular misalignment without performance degradation, eliminating time-consuming recalibration after machinery shifts or thermal drift. The 200mm beam resolution offers industry-leading precision for finger protection in confined spaces where standard 300mm+ curtains are impractical. Advanced diagnostics continuously monitor beam intensity and alignment stability, providing early warnings for optical contamination before safety performance degrades. The T11 controller's pre-programmed safety functions reduce PLC coding requirements by 60%, while floating blanking capability dynamically deactivates beams obscured by fixed obstacles without creating blind spots. Additional benefits include 40% faster installation through tool-free alignment systems, vibration resistance maintaining performance in high-shock environments, and global compliance with ISO 13855 safety distance standards.

​5. Core Functionality and Safety Operation

​
The system operates through synchronized 950nm infrared beam transmission between emitter and receiver units. The kinematic mounting employs spring-loaded prismatic joints that dynamically maintain optical alignment despite angular deviations. When beam interruption exceeds 30ms (configurable via DIP switches), the T11 controller opens both OSSD outputs within 20ms, signaling connected safety systems to initiate machine stop. Continuous self-monitoring performs 12 diagnostic checks including beam deflection measurement, synchronization verification, and output circuit validation through 1kHz pulse testing. The controller's advanced logic enables floating blanking for dynamic obstacle avoidance and timed muting sequences (1-60s) via external sensors during automated material transfer. Safety reset requires deliberate confirmation after fault resolution, with all status changes logged in non-volatile memory for compliance auditing. The 200mm beam spacing provides EN ISO 13855-compliant protection when installed at calculated safety distances based on machine stopping time (S = K × T + C formula), ensuring hazardous motion ceases before operators reach danger zones.
