The standard defines the design, construction, and testing of safety-related sensors that detect the presence of humans without physical contact. Unlike a physical fence, an ESPE uses technology like light beams or laser pulses to create a "virtual" barrier. If this barrier is breached, the sensor must signal the machine to stop before an injury occurs. The Core Components
A logic-driven "Safety Selector" tool that interprets IEC 61496 requirements based on user inputs. iec 61496
IEC 61496 provides a set of requirements and guidelines for the design, development, and implementation of SRP/CS. These include: The standard defines the design, construction, and testing
