SICK nanoScan3 I/O

Configuration
•
N
ame
If a number of safety laser scanners are used in an application or in a project, a
unique device name helps to tell the individual devices apart.
•
Chec
ksums
A checksum is used as a unique identification for a configuration. Using the check‐
sum, it is pos
sible to work out whether a setup was changed or whether two
devices have the same configuration.
The checksum of the configuration in the project may not match the checksum in
the device, for example if a field geometry has been modified, but not yet transmit‐
ted to the device.
7.6 Identification
Device name
If a number of s
afety laser scanners are used in an application or in a project, a unique
device name helps to tell the individual devices apart.
Project name
The project name is used to identify an entire project. The same project name should
be chosen for all devices in the project.
Application name
The application name can be the same for a number of devices in the project. It high‐
lights that these devices realize an application together, by responding to one another
for example.
User name
The user name helps later users to find a contact for the application.
Application image
An image helps to identify the application more quickly. The application image is saved
in the project file on the computer and transmitted to the device. The Safety Designer
supports the following file formats: BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, TIF.
Description
A description makes it easier to understand an application’s context more quickly.
7.7 Application
Application type
T
he type of application depends on the application of the safety laser scanner:
•
Mobile
Mobile hazardous area protection is suitable for AGVs (automated guided vehi‐
cles), cranes and forklifts, to protect people when vehicles are moving or docking.
The safety laser scanner monitors the area in the direction of travel and stops the
vehicle as soon as an object is located in the protective field.
•
S
tationary
The safety laser scanner’s position is fixed. The safety laser scanner is mounted
hor
izontally (for hazardous area protection) or vertically (for hazardous point pro‐
tection and access protection).
