3.10 Field application
With the aid of the integrated field application, the LMS5xx PRO/Heavy Duty evaluates up
to ten, the LMS5xx Lite up to four evaluation fields within its scan area. Using the field
application, you can e.g. implement systems for collision protection, for building
surveillance or for access monitoring.
Fig. 22: Principle of the field application
The LMS5xx PRO/Heavy Duty is adapted to the evaluation situation with the aid of up to ten,
the LMS5xx Lite of up to four evaluation cases. In the evaluation case, one of ten (four)
configurable evaluation fields, an evaluation strategy, an output and in somecircumstances
a combination of inputs that activate the evaluation case, are selected. An operator is
selected for each output; this operator determines the result on the output if more than one
evaluation case acts on the output.
In the example in Fig. 22, in evaluation case 1 evaluation field 1 is used, in evaluation
case 2 evaluation field 2 is used. Both evaluation cases act on the output OUT1. If an AND
operator is used for the results of the evaluation cases, then the output will only switch if
both evaluation cases are signalling an event.
