SICK EtherNet/IP microScan3 - Configuring Control

4.5.4 Configuring control
Overview
Y
ou will find information below on entries in the configuration software for the control
unit.
Information about the configuration of the safety laser scanner see "Configuration",
page 88.
Important information
DANGER
H
azard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
The dangerous state may not be stopped in the event of non-compliance.
If a protective field is interrupted, the safety output switches to the OFF state for at
least 80ms, even if the interruption is shorter than that time. With a safety output
via network, it can happen that the controller does not detect the OFF state in the
event of a very short protective field interruption, e.g. if the Network Time Expectation is
configured to be greater than 80ms.
15)
The internal restart interlock of the safety laser scanner must be used to end the
dangerous state.
►
If the network time expectation is longer than 80ms, use the internal restart
interlock of the safety laser scanner.
NOTE
W
ith safety modules (unlike with other modules), some of the following steps can only
be taken in offline mode.
NOTE
A
t www.sick.com, you will find an electronic data sheet (EDS file) which simplifies
integration in many cases.
The configuration software of some safety controllers does not support the connection
of safety modules with an EDS file (unlike with non-safe modules). In these cases, the
device must be integrated as a generic EtherNet/IP safety module, as described in the
following.
NOTE
The values named in the following can also be found in Safety Designer in the
EtherNet/IP overview dialog box.
Procedure
1.
At an EtherNet/IP adapter of the control: create a generic EtherNet/IP safety
module.
2. Assign a unique name.
3. Specify the IP address of the safety laser scanner.
4. Specify safety network number, see "Integration of the safety laser scanner into
the network", page 68.
5. Adjust connection parameters and module definition.
