This is an operation that transfers the configuration from a
Device to the GUI.
Dust Filtering
The Dust Filter Level must be set according to different condi-
tions specific to the application. In general, it is the sensibility to
various levels of airborne particles that impact the response of
the Laser Sentinel detection.
A High Dust Filter Level is used in dirty environments to filter
(ignore) detection of airborne particles from being confused
with objects to detect. The Laser Sentinel is less sensitive to
dust and therefore avoids shutting down the machinery unnec
-
essarily.
A Low Dust Filter Level is used in cleaner environments where
airborne particles have little effect on object detection.
Dust Filter Level should be set to the lowest value that still
allows the machinery to work without detections due to dust.
Expert Configuration
A configuration’s classification according to the visibility of the
parameters. This one allows the User to change the whole set
of parameters (regardless of the device use).
Failure
Termination of the ability of an item to perform a required func-
tion.
Fault
State of an item characterized by its inability to perform a
required function, excluding the inability during preventive
maintenance or other planned actions, or due to lack of external
resources.
GUI
The DLSentinel Graphic User Interface. It can be used to:
• Create a configuration
• Read a configuration
• Write a configuration
• Upload a configuration
• Download a configuration
• Open Report
• Read Log
• Monitoring (receive data)
Hazardous / Dangerous
zone
Any space within and/or around machinery in which a person
can be exposed to a hazard.
Height
Device height: the distance between the floor and nominal scan
plane at the scanner output window.
Input Configuration
It is the name of the DLSentinel configuration panel that con-
tains the parameters to assign to the input pins (i.e. Restart).
Lock-out condition
Condition, initiated by a fault, preventing normal operation of
the protective equipment. When all output signal switching
devices (OSSDs) and, where applicable, all final switching
devices (FSDs) are signaled to go to the OFF-state.
Minimum distance ( S )
Calculated distance between the safeguard and the hazard zone
necessary to prevent a person or part of a person reaching the
hazard zone before the termination of the hazardous machine
function.
