SICK EtherCAT microScan3 User Manual

3.4.7 Simultaneous monitoring
The safety laser scanner can monitor several field sets in one monitoring case (e.g.
ha
zardous area to the left and hazardous area to the right). The field sets can affect
different safety outputs in variants with several safety outputs.
For example, they can protect 2 machines with only one safety laser scanner.
In order to configure simultaneous monitoring, assign several field sets to a monitoring
case in Safety Designer, see "Assigning field sets", page 120.

3.5 Example applications
Hazardous area protection
In hazardous area protection, people are detected if they stay in a defined area.
This type of protective device is suitable for machines, where it is possible to see a
hazardous area completely from the reset pushbutton. When the hazardous area is
entered, a stop signal is triggered and starting is prevented.
