The reference contour field monitors a contour of the environment. The safety laser
sc
anner switches all safety outputs to the OFF state if a contour does not match the set
parameters, because, for example, the mounting situation of the safety laser scanner
were changed.
Drawing a reference contour field
1. Select the tool for drawing reference contour fields.
2. Draw a line along the spatial contour as a reference.
w
First, use the mouse to click the desired contour.
w
Click to add the corners of the contour.
w
Finally, double-click the contour.
✓
The reference contour field is displayed.
Multiple sampling and object resolution
DANGER
H
azard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons or parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized or not recognized in
time in case of non-observance.
A higher multiple sampling increases the response time.
b
Make a note of the safety laser scanner’s new response time in Safety Designer.
b
Adjust the minimum distance from the hazardous point to the new response time.
Safety Designer initially uses multiple sampling and the object resolution of the moni‐
t
oring plane for the fields.
If necessary, define multiple sampling and the object resolution for each field individu‐
ally.
1. Select multiple sampling.
✓
Multiple sampling indicates how often an object has to be scanned before the
safety laser scanner reacts.
2. Select object resolution.
✓
The object resolution defines the size that an object must be to allow it to be reli‐
ably detected.
Tolerance band
A cont
our has a positive and a negative tolerance band. The cut-off path goes to the
OFF state if the safety laser scanner does not detect the contour inside the tolerance
band.
b
Enter the Positive tolerance (far).
✓
The tolerance away from the safety laser scanner is defined.
b
Enter the Negative tolerance (near).
✓
The tolerance toward the safety laser scanner is defined.
7.10 Fields
Using the field editor, you can configure the safety laser scanner’s field sets in a graphi‐
c
al user interface. The number of configurable fields depends on the safety laser scan‐
ner variant, see "Variants", page 16.
The edge length or the diameter of each field must be at least as large as the selected
object resolution.
