SICK nanoScan3 I/O

Display language
T
he safety laser scanner’s display outputs notifications and states. Multiple languages
are available for the display.
Display orientation
If you mount the safety laser scanner with the optics cover downward, you can rotate
the orientation of the display through 180°. The preview shows the selected orientation
of the display.
7.8 Monitoring plane
Overview
Her
e you configure general parameters for the monitoring level.
At first, the object resolution and multiple sampling configured for the monitoring plane
apply for all fields. If necessary, you can make changes to each individually at a later
date.
Resulting values are displayed in the area on the right. A graphic shows how the config‐
uration affects the available ranges.
Name of the monitoring plane
Y
ou can use the name to identify monitoring planes when creating fields and monitor‐
ing cases and also in reports.
Protection task
People approach the monitoring plane parallel or orthogonally, depending on the orien‐
tation of the protective field in your application.
•
Hazardous area protection (horizontal)
Typically, for a horizontal approach, the requirement is to detect the leg. The typical
ob
ject resolution is leg (70 mm).
•
A
ccess protection (vertical)
Typically, for access protection, the requirement is to detect a person. The typical
ob
ject resolution is body (200 mm).
•
H
azardous point protection (vertical)
Typically, for hazardous point protection, the requirement is to detect a hand. The
t
ypical object resolution is hand (40 mm).
Contour as Reference monitoring
If the monitoring plane has a vertical alignment, a contour (such as the floor, a part of
the machine bed, or an access threshold) must typically be defined and monitored as a
reference contour. The reference contour field is used for this purpose.
If reference contour monitoring is activated, the Reference contour field point is displayed
in the navigation. Here you can configure the reference contour field required for your
application.
Object resolution
T
he object resolution defines the size that an object must be to allow it to be reliably
detected. The following object resolutions are available:
•
20 mm = hand detection
•
30 mm = hand detection
•
40 mm = hand detection
•
50 mm = leg detection/arm detection
