Configure the field
If you have activated the R
eference contour monitoring option for a monitoring plane, the
Reference contour field dialog box is displayed. Draw the reference contour field based
on the values determined during project planning (see "Reference contour monitoring",
page 30).
The contour as reference field monitors a contour of the environment. The safety laser
scanner switches all safety outputs to the OFF state if a contour does not match the set
parameters, because, for example, the mounting of the safety laser scanner has been
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.
b
First, use the mouse to click the desired contour.
b
Click to add the corners of the contour.
b
Finally, double-click the contour.
✓
The reference contour field is displayed.
Multiple sampling and Object resolution
DANGER
Hazard 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 new response time of the safety laser scanner 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 responds.
2. Select object resolution.
✓
The object resolution defines the size that an object must be to allow it to be
reliably 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 Positive tolerance (far).
✓
The tolerance away from the safety laser scanner is defined.
b
Enter Negative tolerance (near).
✓
The tolerance toward the safety laser scanner is defined.
