RSSI Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI): Indicator of the strength
of t
he received signal. A higher value corresponds to a better
reception. There is no universal relationship between a physical
quantity and a specified RSSI.
Safety output A safety output provides safety-related information.
S
afety outputs are OSSDs, for example, or safety-related informa‐
tion on a safety-related network.
Scan cycle time The scan cycle time is the time required for the mirror of a safety
la
ser scanner to complete one rotation.
SIL Safety integrity level
SILCL SIL claim limit (IEC 62061)
Static control input A static control input is a dual-channel control input, which evalu‐
a
tes the status of every channel as the value 0 or 1. The signal
states of one or more static control inputs give a unique signal pat‐
tern. This signal pattern activates a monitoring case.
Test rod The test rod is an opaque, cylinder-shaped object used to check
the detection capability of the active opto-electronic protective
device. The diameter of the test rod is the same as the resolution
of the active opto-electronic protective device.
Warning field The warning field monitors larger areas than the protective field.
S
imple switching functions can be triggered with the warning field,
e.g. a warning light or an acoustic signal can be triggered if a per‐
son approaches, even before the person enters the protective
field.
The warning field must not be used for safety applications.
