5 Functions
The functions of the safety sensor must be matched to the respective application and its safety require-
ments. You can activate/deactivate the functions and adapt them using parameters. You configure the
functions with the help of the configuration and diagnostics software (see chapter 9 "Configuring the safety
sensor").
• You configure the functions of the safety sensor in the software as configuration projects.
• In each configuration project you determine the protective function and the configurable field pairs via
the selected function mode.
• The changeover-capable protective/warning field pairs for the selected function mode are defined in
configuration banks.
• You determine the resolution, the start-up behavior, the response time and, where applicable, the vehi-
cle speed together for all protective/warning field pairs of a configuration bank.
5.1 Authorization concept of safety sensor
User management allows target-group-oriented communication between the software and the safety sen-
sor. Which functions are available depends on the selected access level of the user. For information on
the software and on user management (see chapter 4 "Configuration and diagnostic software SensorStu-
dio").
• Changing the safety configuration as well as the communication and diagnostics settings of the sensor
is only permitted for certain access levels.
• Installation and operation of the software do not depend on the access level of the user.
The following access levels are available:
