Integration in the control
T
he safety laser scanner communicates with the machine controller as follows:
•
I/O: local inputs and outputs (incl. OSSDs)
The safety laser scanner communicates with the SICK safety controller as follows:
•
EFI-pro
EFI-pro
1)
is an Ethernet-based network for general and safety-related data communica‐
tion.
Devices can exchange data via EFI-pro, such as control signals, safety-related shut-off
signals, and diagnostics data.
Protective field range
T
he safety laser scanner is available in variants with the following maximum protec‐
tive field range:
•
4.0 m
•
5.5 m
•
9.0 m

3.3.2 Connections
•
1 x male connec
tor, M12, A-coding for voltage supply
•
2 × female connector, M12, A-coded for OSSDs and universal inputs and outputs
•
2 × female connector, M12, A-coded for dynamic control inputs
•
2 × female connector, M12, D-coding for Ethernet (EFI-pro, data output, configura‐
tion, and diagnostics)
•
1 × female connector, USB 2.0 Mini-B for configuration and diagnosis

3.3.3 System plug
A system plug is required to operate the safety laser scanner.
T
he metal plate with the connections is the system plug (see figure 2, page 13). The
system plug can either be mounted on the rear side or the underside.
The safety laser scanner’s internal configuration memory is integrated in the system
plug. The system plug and all connecting cables can remain at the installation site
when the safety laser scanner is replaced. The system plug is detached from the
defective safety laser scanner and connected to the new safety laser scanner. The
new safety laser scanner reads the configuration from the configuration memory when
switching on.
3.3.4 Field types
During operation, the safety laser scanner uses its laser beams to continuously check
whe
ther people or objects are present in one or more areas. The areas to be checked
are called fields. A distinction is made between the following field types, depending on
the application type:
•
Protective field
•
Reference contour field
•
Contour detection field
•
Collision protection field
•
Warning field
1)
Enhanced F
unction Interface-pro based on EtherNet/IP™ – CIP Safety™.
2)
The USB connection may only be used temporarily and only for configuration and diagnostics.
