SICK XC40S-0603A0A00AA0 Light Curtain Sender Unit

The SICK XC40S-0603A0A00AA0 Light Curtain Sender Unit is the sending component of the C4000 Select safety light curtain system, identified by part number 1204068, and engineered for normal industrial environments where reliable guard-and-stop operation is critical. With a 30 mm resolution and a 21 m scanning range, it defines a protective field height of 600 mm, while optical synchronization and an integrated laser alignment aid help installers achieve precise, repeatable alignment during setup. The device carries safety ratings of Type 4 (IEC 61496-1), SIL 3 (IEC 61508), and PL e (EN ISO 13849), with a PFHD of 3.2 x 10^-8 and a mission time of 20 years, reflecting its suitability for continuous guarding in demanding production lines. Power is supplied at 24 V DC, and the unit connects via a male M12, 5-pin interface with a permissible cable length of up to 30 meters; the enclosure is IP65-rated to withstand dust and water exposure typical of factory floors.
