SICK C4OS-1304CA010 Safety Light Barrier System Controller

SICK C4OS-1304CA010 Safety Light Barrier System Controller is part of SICK’s C4000 Advanced family of safety light curtains and serves as the central controller for a light barrier, translating the emitter/receiver’s safety signals into validated safety outputs that drive the machine control. The 1304CA010 configuration supports the high-assurance safety levels described in the C4000 data sheets, including Type 4 (IEC 61496-1), SIL 3 (IEC 61508), EN ISO 13849-1 Category 4, and PL e, with its safety outputs organized as OSSDs that connect to a safety relay or controller to enforce a safe state when a beam is interrupted. Typical applications include safeguarding access to hazardous machinery, conveyors, and robot work cells where reliable presence-detection and interlocking are required. The system emphasizes robust diagnostics and interoperability with common safety controllers, enabling proper fault detection and safe-stop behavior in line with industry safety standards.
