Safety light grids play a vital role in the field of industrial automation. However, the terms OSSD1 and OSSD2 may be confusing to those who are new to safety light grids. So, what exactly are OSSD1 and OSSD2? Let’s learn more about them.


OSSD1 and OSSD2 represent the dual-channel PNP signal output of the safety grating, also known as the abbreviation of Output Signal Switching Device or Optical Signal Switching Device. These terms are mainly used in product descriptions of safety light curtains.


Safety grating is a photoelectric sensor device used to monitor and control objects entering and exiting a specific area. When an object enters or leaves the protected area, the safety grating will generate a corresponding output signal based on the input signal to achieve safety protection for equipment or personnel.


Safety gratings usually consist of a light transmitter and a light receiver. The light transmitter emits an infrared beam, and the light receiver receives and analyzes the received light signal. By analyzing the light signal, the safety light grid can detect whether an object enters or leaves the protected area.


OSSD1 and OSSD2 are the two channels of the safety grating output signal. These two signal channels have independent output ports and can be connected to other devices to achieve signal transmission and processing. In some safety grating products, OSSD1 and OSSD2 use PNP signal output, which means that their operating voltage range is relatively high.


When the safety light barrier detects that an object enters or leaves the protected area, the OSSD1 and OSSD2 channels will generate corresponding output signals respectively. These output signals can be used to trigger alarms or stop signals for other safety systems, or to control the operating status of other equipment.


By understanding the meaning and function of OSSD1 and OSSD2, we can better understand the performance and functions of safety grating products. When selecting and applying safety light barriers, understanding these terms will help us make the right decision based on our needs.


To sum up, OSSD1 and OSSD2 represent the dual-channel PNP signal output of the safety grating, also known as output signal switching device or optical signal switching device. These output signals play an important role in safety light barriers and can trigger alarms or stop signals for other equipment or systems to achieve safety protection for equipment or personnel.


It is hoped that through the introduction of this article, readers will have a clearer understanding of OSSD1 and OSSD2 in safety gratings. When selecting and purchasing safety light grating products, remember to refer to the product description to understand the product's characteristics to ensure you choose the appropriate safety light grating to meet your needs.
