Light curtain pair

The light curtain pair is a reusable 3D safety component for guarded machinery and access zones. In this simulator it supports safety-state training and permissive visibility.

Load the interactive model when you are ready to rotate, inspect and operate it. Deferring WebGL keeps the reference page fast.

Motion and state

Its state is used to practise permissive and trip reasoning; it is not a safety-rated engineering model.

PLC control pattern

Commission it by proving field clear before accepting safety reset.

Fault practice

Inject stuck-on, stuck-off, misaligned states and require the PLC sequence to detect, stop and recover deliberately.

Engineering boundary

Training model only. It does not perform a machinery risk assessment, calculate performance level or SIL, replace a safety PLC, or validate a real safety function.
