Create fields and field sets
NOTE
Y
ou can only create the number of fields and field sets allowed in the performance
package of the safety laser scanner. If the maximum number of fields and field sets has
already been used, it is not possible to create any more fields or field sets.
You can change the sequence of the fields in the Field set area using drag and drop. The
fields of a field set are displayed in the monitoring case table in the same sequence in
which you create them here.
If you choose, e.g., protective field, warning field, the protective field acts on cut-off path
1 and the warning field acts on cut-off path 2.
