Determine protective field size!
The protective field size is determined by the calculated safety distances and additional dis-
tances that you determined for the application assigned to the configuration bank.
NOTICE
With protective field boundaries <200mm, object detection may be restricted owing to the mea-
surement error.
Ä When defining the protective field, take into account the additional distance Z

NOTICE
It is also possible to read in an RS4 configuration file as well as to convert the protective fields
on the RSL400.
Note here, that the converted field pairs are only contour suggestions. Therefore, check that the
fields are appropriate for the requirements of your safety application.
