CoLa2 CoLa2 (Command Language 2) is a protocol from SICK, with which
a c
lient (control, computer, etc.) can access suitable SICK sensors
via a network (TCP/IP) or USB.
Contour detection field The contour detection field monitors a contour of the environment.
T
he safety laser scanner switches the associated safety outputs to
the OFF state if a contour does not match the set parameters,
because, for example, a door or flap is open.
Control input A control input receives signals, e.g. from the machine or from the
control. Use of control inputs is how the protective device receives
information about the conditions at the machine, e.g., if there is a
change of operating mode. If the protective device is configured
appropriately, it will activate a different monitoring case after
receiving a new control input.
The control input information must be transmitted reliably. Gener‐
ally, at least 2 separate channels are used to do this.
Depending on the device, a control input can be realized as a sta‐
tic control input or a dynamic control input.
Dangerous state A dangerous state is a status of the machine or facility, where peo‐
ple ma
y be injured. Protective devices prevent this risk if the
machine is operated within its intended use.
The figures in this document always show the dangerous state of
the machine as movement of a machine part. In practice, there
are different dangerous states, such as:
•
Machine movements
•
Electrical parts
•
Visible and invisible beam
•
A combination of multiple hazards

is an Ethernet-based network for general and safety-
related data communication.
EFI-pro allows for easy device identification, addressing, configura‐
tion, and diagnostics.
Devices can exchange data via EFI-pro, such as control signals,
safety-related shut-off signals, and diagnostics data.
An EFI-pro network can have various structures (topologies), e.g.,
with cables running from one central device to all the others (star
topology) or with cables running from one device to the next (line
topology). Different topologies can be combined within one EFI-pro
network to form a hybrid topology.
Electro-sensitive protective
de
vice
An electro-sensitive protective device is a device or system of
devices for safety-related detection of people or parts of the body.
It is used to protect people from machines and facilities that pose
a risk of injury. It triggers the machine or facility to adopt a safe
state before a person is exposed to a hazardous situation.
Examples include safety light curtains and safety laser scanners.
