The Siemens 3SF7844-8TB08-1SS1 is a Type 4 host receiver in the SIMATIC FS420I safety light curtain family. It provides a 14 mm detection resolution over a 600 mm protected height, with a sensing range of 0 to 6 m. The unit communicates via PROFIsafe bus connection, making it a direct fit for Siemens safety controllers that speak PROFIsafe. The 14 mm resolution means it catches fingers reaching into the hazard zone — finger-protection class per IEC 61496-1 — so it's suited for guarding access points where hand or finger entry is possible.
