New SICK DMM4 Module Makes Muting Easy
Together with the deTec safety light curtains and deTem safety light-beam sensors, the SICK DMM4 module makes it easy to configure the correct muting setup, to enable safe human-material differentiation in, and around your dangerous machinery.

Looking for a flexible 4-signal muting solution for safe human-material differentiation?
DMM4 is an extension module for the deTem safety light-beam sensors and the deTec safety light curtains from SICK, helping you to flexibly configure your muting applications.
Benefits:
- Increase machine availability thanks to flexible configuration of application-specific muting parameters
- Easy device connection reduces cabling effort, and simplifies commissioning and maintenance
- Switch quickly between operating modes while machines are running
- Increase process efficiency with object size-dependent smart restart interlock of the safety light curtain
- Save space in the plant, as even safety devices located close together do not affect each other
- High availability: Small objects such as thin metal sheets do not lead to unplanned machine downtimes
What Makes The SICK DMM4 The Best Option For Safety Light Curtain Muting?
Muting – or the temporary automatic suspension of a safety function by way of safety
related parts of the control system – aims to achieve continuous, efficient material flows, while protecting people from hazards. In the case of a safety light curtain, sensors and process signals can safely identify materials and allow the product to pass through without stopping the system. The DMM4 muting module meets industry standards for safe material flow through electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE), accurately and reliably differentiating between material and a person to provide safe conditions.
“Highly flexible and configurable, the SICK DMM4 is out of the box certified and Plug
and Play, with easy installation and connectivity with the SICK deTec safety light curtain.
It’s part of a complete range of SICK safety light curtain products, including light curtains,
sensors, fittings and muting modules.”
- Martin Kidman, Safety Manager at SICK
Applications for the SICK DMM4

Intervention protection at vertical Access protection on multi-lane Protection with differentiation
storage system transport systems between people and material
Safety Designer Software
With the help of DMM4 and the intuitive Safety Designer software, you can individually configure muting parameters and smart functions such as smart restart interlock for your application. The software can also be used to define different operating modes such as partial muting. Simply connect muting sensors, control switches and safety devices to DMM4. This reduces the cabling effort and shortens the commissioning time. This allows you to achieve continuous, efficient material flows while protecting people at the same time.
