The Pilz PSEN OP2H-S-30-075/1 is a compact safety light curtain engineered to protect operators and machinery in automated production environments. Part of Pilz’s well-established PSENopt family, it provides dependable safeguarding by creating an invisible barrier of infrared light beams. When any of these beams are interrupted, the light curtain immediately triggers a stop signal, ensuring machinery is halted and personnel are protected from potential harm.

This model operates on a 24 V DC supply, making it fully compatible with modern automation systems and easy to integrate into existing safety architectures. Its use of the 950 nm infrared wavelength ensures accurate and interference-free detection, even in environments with high levels of ambient light or reflective surfaces. This reliability is essential in busy production areas where consistent safeguarding must be maintained under all operating conditions.

Equipped with two OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) outputs, the PSEN OP2H-S-30-075/1 offers dual-channel redundancy for fail-safe performance. This means that if one channel experiences a fault, the second remains active to ensure that the protective function is not compromised. Such redundancy is vital in meeting performance level (PL) and safety integrity level (SIL) requirements, providing users with confidence in the system’s safety integrity.

With a protective field height of 750 mm, this model is particularly well-suited to guarding medium-sized access points, production cells, or machine openings. It strikes a balance between compact solutions for small machinery and taller light curtains for large-scale equipment. This makes it versatile across a variety of industries, from packaging and material handling to light assembly and robotics.

The device is designed for industrial durability, functioning within an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to +55 °C. This operating window ensures reliable performance across typical factory conditions, whether in controlled environments or facilities with fluctuating temperatures. Its rugged build supports continuous use, helping maintain system uptime and reducing the risk of safety-related downtime.

Integration into automation systems is straightforward, especially when paired with Pilz safety relays or controllers, allowing for a complete and harmonised safety solution. Its fast response time ensures machinery is stopped without delay when beams are interrupted, providing maximum safety with minimal impact on workflow efficiency.

In summary, the Pilz PSEN OP2H-S-30-075/1 safety light curtain is a reliable and compact safeguarding solution. With its 24 V DC operation, infrared detection, dual OSSD redundancy, and 750 mm coverage, it delivers precise and dependable operator protection. Designed for versatile use in medium-sized applications, it offers the performance, durability, and compliance needed to support safe and efficient industrial operations.
