The Siemens 3SF7844-8BD20-0SS1 is a Type 4 safety light curtain receiver from the SIMATIC FS420I family, built for guarding hazard zones where a 30 mm detection capability is needed — catching fingers reaching into the danger area per IEC 61496-1. The 1350 mm protective height and 0 to 18 m range cover a wide access point or perimeter on a conveyor line or machine cell. The PROFIsafe bus connection means it talks directly to a safety-rated PLC over the fieldbus, no separate safety relay needed between the curtain and the controller.
