Table 21: Propose field
Suggest field
If you propose a protective field, the proposal does not replace calculation of the
minimum dis
tance. You must calculate the minimum distance and check whether the
size of the proposed protective field is sufficient. You must also take into account the
measurement tolerances of the safety laser scanner.
Existing field geometries
•
D
elete existing shapes: The field is redrawn according to the surrounding contour.
•
Refine existing shapes: The existing field is adapted to the surrounding contour.
Measurement method
•
Use e
very single distance value: Each scan of the surrounding contour is used individu‐
ally to draw the field.
•
Use median of distance values: The median of the last 25scans is used to draw the
field.
Type of teach-in
•
Onl
y allow reduction: The shortest measured distance is used at each angle. If you
walk along the borders of the imaginary field and, for example, hold a board or
cardboard into the laser beam, this restricts the surrounding contour.
•
Allow expansion: The surrounding contour is used as it is measured.
Automatic reduction
Y
ou can specify that the proposed field is drawn smaller than the measured surround‐
ing contour so that the field will be at a distance from walls. The default value corre‐
sponds to the TZ value (tolerance zone of the safety laser scanner).
Smoothing by point reduction
T
he proposed contour may initially be uneven and consist of very many points. With the
Smoothing by point reduction option, you can reduce the number of points and simplify the
lines.

7.13 Inputs and outputs
Overview
S
afety Designer provides a selection of the possible signal inputs.
Use one input source
Y
ou can specify that the same source is used for all inputs.
Monitoring case switching
If y
ou want to switch between different monitoring cases, then specify which source is
used.
If the source contains static control inputs, then also define the evaluation of the
static control inputs:
