Multiple sampling and Ob
ject resolution
DANGER
H
azard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons or parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized or not recognized in
time in case of non-observance.
A higher multiple sampling increases the response time.
►
Make a note of the new response time of the safety laser scanner in Safety
Designer.
►
Adjust the minimum distance from the hazardous point to the new response time.
Safety Designer initially uses multiple sampling and the object resolution of the moni‐
t
oring plane for the fields.
If necessary, define multiple sampling and the object resolution for each field individu‐
ally.
1. Select multiple sampling.
✓
Multiple sampling indicates how often an object has to be scanned before the
safety laser scanner responds.
2. Select object resolution.
✓
The object resolution defines the size that an object must be to allow it to be
reliably detected.
Tolerance band
A cont
our has a positive and a negative tolerance band. The cut-off path goes to the
OFF state if the safety laser scanner does not detect the contour inside the tolerance
band.
►
Enter Positive tolerance (far).
✓
The tolerance away from the safety laser scanner is defined.
►
Enter Negative tolerance (near).
✓
The tolerance toward the safety laser scanner is defined.
7.12 Fields
Using the field editor, you can configure the field sets of the safety laser scanner. The
number of c
onfigurable fields depends on the safety laser scanner variant.
The edge length or the diameter of each field must be at least as large as the selected
object resolution.
