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.
Name
A
ssign a unique name for each field set.
1. Select the field set to be edited.
2. Enter the name of the field set.
7.12.2 Creating field set templates
If you require the same combination of fields a number of times, you can create a field
se
t template.
You can edit field set templates using the Mana
ge field set templates tool.
Example: you define a field set template with protective field, warning field1 and warn‐
ing field2.
