SAFERY LASER SCANNER
CHAPTER 8
FUNCTIONS
ZONE SETTING CONFIGURATION AND SELECTION
A Zone Set defines the set of zones within the Laser Sentinel operating range to be mon-
itored (Safety Zones, and if present, Warning Zone). More than one Zone Set can be con-
figured and these can be switched alternatively using combinations of input signal
state
s.
To create a Zone Set, the user must configure it through the DLSentinel GUI.
NOTE
NOTE
Zone Set Input Selection
When only one Zone Set is configured, it corresponds to the Safety and Warning Zones
monitored by the Laser Sentinel and no input signals are needed to manage it.
Laser Sentinel allows the user to set up a giv
en number of Zone Sets: a maximum of six
Zone Sets for the Stand Alone model, a maximum of three Zone Sets for the 8-pole Mas-
ter model, a maximum of ten Zone Sets for the 12-pole Master model, and a maximum
of se
venty Zone Sets for the 17+8 pole Master model. Only one Zone Set can be acti-
vated at a time by using the “Area Switch” configuration inputs. A given combination of
i
nputs is linked to one and only one Zone Set.
When the input signal combination changes,
the new Zone Set assigned to this new
combination will be monitored.
The Input combination which makes the Zone Sets change (Area Switch) must be univo-
cal and must not be susceptible to false external signals.
It is not possible to switch between two Zone Se
ts by using only one “Area Switch”
input. One electrical wire is not sufficient to create the Area Switching because in the
case of a missing signal (i.e. broken wire), an undesired and unsafe Zone Set would
result. A system malfunction could also cause the zone to switch, which would not be
detected as an error.
To start the Zone Set Switching on the device, the user must:
Configure at least two Area Switch Inputs.
Each zone set must have a Safety Zone and can have one or two Warning
Zones depending on the models.
When more than one Zone Set are configured, Safety Area 2 and Safety
Area 3 of all Zone Sets coincide and can only be modified from Zone Set 1
(or Zone set 2 if Zone Set 1 is assigned the Shut Off function).
