Safety light curtains require cabling on one side only

ifm electronic is launching safety light curtains that require cabling on one side only, which greatly simplifies installation. The system consists of a transmitter/receiver unit on one side and a passive reflector on the other. So far three versions have been announced by ifm for protecting areas 0-6m wide with two, three or four light beams.
