Product description
4.5.3 Resolution
With its standard resolution, the S100 achieves a scanning range of up to 10 m.
Due to its radial beam path (see Fig. 3 on page 14) the object resolution of the laser
scanner is highest in the near range. This resolution reduces with increasing distance from
the laser scanner. The detection capability of the S100 is dependent on the remission
value of the object to be detected and its distance from the laser scanner. The resolution
is therefore defined by the object diameter, by the remission value and the distance to the
laser scanner.
For information on the diameter and remission necessary for an object to be detected,
refer to Fig. 30 on page 52.
In addition to the standard resolution, with the aid of the CDS-S100 you can configure the
resolution for varying object diameters to be detected. Then only objects with a diameter
≥ than the resolution set are reliably detected.
If a fixed object resolution is selected, the possible switching field radius for this resolution
is reduced to the following scanning ranges:
Resolution Scanning range for the resolution
30 mm 1.30 m
40 mm 1.70 m
50 mm 2.10 m
70 mm 3.00 m
150 mm 6.60 m
The switching fields that you configure in the field set editor can be larger than the
scanning range stated. However, the resolution can only be guaranteed up to the distance
given.
4.5.4 Application diagnostic output “error/contamination”
The S100 has a configurable application diagnostic output. The following configuration
features are available in the CDS-S100:
 window for light output contaminated
 error
 window for light output contaminated or error
 inactive
4.5.5 Restart
On the S100 you can configure a restart delay of 0 to 60 seconds for the Switching
outputs 1 and 2. The related switching output on the S100 changes to the ON state if
there is no object in the switching field for the period defined.
You can configure the type of restart in the CDS-S100.
