SICK EtherCAT microScan3 User Manual

Performance package
T
he Core and Pro performance packages feature a number of configurable fields and a
number of safety switching functions.
•
microScan3 Core – EtherCAT®
•
microScan3 Pro – EtherCAT®
Integration in the control
T
he safety laser scanner communicates with the machine controller as follows:
•
EtherCAT®
Protective field range
T
he safety laser scanner is available in variants with the following maximum protec‐
tive field range:
•

3.4.2 Connections
•
1 x male connec
tor, M12, A-coding for voltage supply
•
3 × M12 female connector, D-coded for network (2 × EtherCAT®, 1× Ethernet for
data output, configuration and diagnostics)
•
1 × female connector, USB 2.0 Mini-B for configuration and diagnosis

3.4.3 System plug
A system plug is required to operate the safety laser scanner.
T
he metal plate with the connections is the system plug (see figure 3, page 13). The
system plug can either be mounted on the rear side or the underside.
The safety laser scanner’s internal configuration memory is integrated in the system
plug. The system plug and all connecting cables can remain at the installation site
when the safety laser scanner is replaced. The system plug is detached from the
defective safety laser scanner and connected to the new safety laser scanner. The
new safety laser scanner reads the configuration from the configuration memory when
switched on.
3.4.4 Field types
During operation, the safety laser scanner uses its laser beams to continuously check
whe
ther people or objects are present in one or more areas. The areas to be checked
are called fields. A distinction is made between the following field types, depending on
the application type:
•
Protective field
•
Reference contour field
•
Contour detection field
•
Collision protection field
•
Warning field

T
he USB connection may only be used temporarily and only for configuration and diagnostics.
