3.2 Structure and function
The safety laser scanner is an electro-sensitive protective device (ESPE) which scans its
sur
roundings two-dimensionally using infrared laser beams.
The safety laser scanner forms a protective field using the invisible laser beams. This
protective field protects the hazardous area and enables hazardous point protection,
access protection or hazardous area protection. As soon as an object is situated in the
protective field, the safety laser scanner signals the detection by means of a signal
change at the safety output. The machine or its control must safely analyze the signals
(for example using a safe control or safety relays) and stop the dangerous state.
