T
his chapter provides information on the special features and properties of the S300
safety laser scanner. It describes the construction and the operating principle of the
device.
3.1 Special features
270° scan area
increased dust and particle tolerance due to dazzle and particle algorithms
variants with scanning ranges up to 2 m or 3 m (maximum protective field radii)
configuration using PC or notebook with SICK Configuration & Diagnostic Software
configuration memory in the system plug. In case of device replacement, the existing
configuration is automatically transferred to the S300 newly connected. In this way
downtimes can be significantly reduced.
field sets comprising of one protective field and up to two warning fields
contour monitoring of the protective field if only one warning field is used
5 universal I/O connections
integrated external device monitoring (EDM)
integrated restart interlock/restart interlock delay for which the parameters can be set
safe bus interface via enhanced function interface (EFI) for operation in a system with
other safety laser scanners, with products of the sens:Control product group or with a
Flexi Soft safety controller
compatibility mode for interoperability with safety laser scanners of an older generation
From S300 Advanced
up to 4 field sets
protective field switching via static inputs or EFI
S300 Professional
up to 8 field sets
protective field switching via dynamic inputs using incremental encoders
velocity routing using a Flexi Soft safety controller
S300 Expert
up to 16 field sets
CMS function for the detection of reflectors as artificial landmarks
