azard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
The dangerous state may not be stopped in the event of non-compliance.
If a protective field is interrupted, the safety output switches to the OFF state for at
least 80 ms, even if the interruption is shorter than that time. With a safety output
via network, it can happen that the controller does not detect the OFF state in the
event of a very short protective field interruption, e.g. if the network time expectation is
configured to be greater than 80 ms.

The internal restart interlock of the safety laser scanner must be used to end the
dangerous state.
b
If the network time expectation is longer than 80 ms, use the internal restart
interlock of the safety laser scanner.
Reset
T
he reset brings the protective device back to the monitoring state after it has sent
a stop command. The reset also quits the start-up or restart interlock of a protective
device, so that the machine can be restarted in a second step.
The reset must only be possible, when all safety functions and protective devices are
functional.
The reset of the protective device must not introduce any movement or dangerous
situations itself. The machine is only permitted to start after the reset once a separate
start command has been sent.
•
Manual resets are performed using a separate, manually operated device, such as
a reset pushbutton.
•
Automatic resets by the protective device are only permitted in special cases, if
one of the following conditions is met:
°
It must not be possible for people to be in the hazardous area without
triggering the protective device.
°
It must be ensured that no people are in the hazardous area during or after
the reset.
Internal restart interlock
Eac
h safety output of the safety laser scanner is equipped with a configurable internal
restart interlock.
A reset pushbutton can be connected for each OSSD pair.
With safety outputs via the network, resetting is done via a network signal.
When the internal restart interlock is used, the following sequence is the result for the
machine operator:
1 A safety output of the safety laser scanner switches to the OFF state if there is an
interruption in the protective field.
2 The safety output remains in the OFF state when there is no longer an object in
the protective field.
3 The safety output only switches back to the ON state when the operator presses
the reset pushbutton, which is outside the hazardous area. If there is an object in
the protective field when the reset pushbutton is pressed, the safety output stays
in the OFF state.
4 After the reset, the operator can restart the machine in a second step.

T
he network expectation time is sometimes referred to as the connection reaction time limit.
