7.14.1.1 Configure switching sequence
Overview
Y
ou can specify the order in which the monitoring cases can be called.
You can specify one or two subsequent monitoring cases for each monitoring event.
If you do not specify a subsequent monitoring case for a monitoring case, then any
monitoring case may follow.
If input conditions are present that do not call up any of the defined subsequent
monitoring cases, the safety laser scanner switches all safety outputs to the OFF state.
You can specify the order of the monitoring cases as a process or in individual steps.
Process
Y
ou define one or more sequences. You can use a sequence to map the sequence of
work steps for your machine.
In all sequences, you can define a maximum of two subsequent monitoring cases for
each monitoring case.
If you do not specify a subsequent monitoring case for a monitoring case, then any
monitoring case may follow.
Individual steps
Y
ou define individually for each monitoring case which one or two monitoring cases may
follow.
If you do not specify a subsequent monitoring case for a monitoring case, then any
monitoring case may follow.
Complementary information
Y
ou can use the changeover order as an additional check of your control unit. For exam‐
ple, deviations of a vehicle from the route or a plant from the prescribed production
process can be detected.
7.14.2 Settings for monitoring cases
Name
Ent
er a name which is as descriptive as possible for the monitoring case in the Name
field. If you create a lot of monitoring cases, you should consider a naming concept that
makes it possible to identify the monitoring cases easily (for example right cornering,
left cornering).
Sleep mode
If y
ou activate this option, the safety laser scanner changes to the sleep mode as soon
as the input conditions for this monitoring case exist.
7.14.3 Input condition
The controller transmits to the safety laser scanner in the process data object (PDO)
t
he number of the monitoring event to be activated.
For each monitoring case, the Safety Designer shows the number with which the
monitoring case is activated.
7.14.4 Cut-off paths
You can create cut-off paths and define the outputs switched by the cut-off paths.
