SICK microScan3 Core I/O

The O
verview dialog box contains information about the safety laser scanner.
Project
•
Project name: the same name should be chosen for all devices in the project
•
Application name: this name can be the same for a number of devices in the
project. It highlights that these devices realize an application together, by respond‐
ing to one another for example.
Device information
•
Name, identifies the specific device
•
Type code of the safety laser scanner
•
Functional scope of the configuration in the project
•
Functional scope of the configuration in the device
•
Serial number of the safety laser scanner
•
Functionality of the device
Connection
•
Connection status
•
Type of connection
Checksums
A checksum is used as a unique identification for a configuration. Using the checksum,
it is possible to work out whether a setup was changed or whether two devices have the
same configuration.
The checksum of the configuration in the project may not match the checksum in the
device, for example if a field geometry has been modified, but not yet transmitted to the
device.
System status
•
Applic
ation status
•
Current notification from the safety laser scanner
•
Configuration date for the configuration in the device
•
Synchronization: shows whether the configuration in Safety Designer and the con‐
figuration in the device are identical
•
Verification status of the configuration in the project
•
Verification status of the configuration in the device
Measurement data
S
hows the measurement data when a device is connected.
Display
Shows the status of the display and LEDs when a device is connected.
Establishing connection
1. Check whether the safety laser scanner is connected correctly.
2. Click on Connect in the toolbar.
✓
Safety Designer creates the connection to the safety laser scanner.
8.3.1 Functional scope
Older versions of the Safety Designer potentially do not support the full functionality of
t
he latest devices. Vice versa, older devices might not support the full functionality of
the latest Safety Designer.
