Sorry, I have never heard of the "Three Block System". That must be a local term (not widely used elsewhere) to describe a common feature. I could guess, but that wouldn't help you any.

Could you be talking about a "three box system" which is a light curtain designation for the three pieces of some systems:

• Sender or Transmitter (Box 1)
• Receiver (Box 2)
• Control Box (Box 3)

?? Other than that, you got me.
