14.2 Glossary
CANopen is a layer-7 communication protocol based on CAN that is primarily used in
automation engineering.
The monitoring cases are switched using the control inputs. The S100 Professional has
four static control inputs.
Two switching fields form a pair, the so-called field set.
A field set is allocated to a monitoring case. Monitoring case switching is performed using
the control inputs. In this way the S100 can be adapted to the operating mode of the
machine or plant that it monitors.
Plastic part with window for light output. The optics cover is available as a spare part.
Reflection of luminance. A measure of the remission is the level of remission defined as
the ratio of the luminance reflected from a surface in the measuring direction and the
luminance of a completely matt white surface (white standard).
The minimum size of an object that is acquired by the laser scanner and is guaranteed by
the manufacturer.
The switching field protects an area around the machine or a vehicle. As soon as the laser
scanner detects an object in the switching field, it switches the related switching output to
the OFF state.
Contains the configuration memory and all electrical connections. In this way the S100 can be
easily replaced. After re-commissioning the configuration is read from the system plug; the
S100 is then, normally, ready for use.
