Product description
3.5 Interoperability
T
he S300 safety laser scanner can be integrated in an EFI system. An EFI system can
comprise two safety laser scanners, a sens:Control device with one to two safety laser
scanners or a safety controller Flexi Soft with up to four safety laser scanners.
Addressing of the guest
If two safety laser scanners are operated on an EFI string, then one is the host, the other
the guest. If only one safety laser scanner is operated on an EFI string, then this device is
the host.
All devices involved can be unambiguously identified by the address and information can
be distributed and retrieved using bit assignment (see also Technical Description “EFI —
Enhanced Function Interface”, SICK part no. 8012621).
In an EFI system with two safety laser scanners, set the address of one of the scanners
to guest!
To be able to unambiguously differentiate between the devices in an EFI system, one S300
must be configured as the guest. For this purpose a jumper is wired between the connec-
tion terminals 7 and 13 (see section 6.1.1 “Pin assignment on the system plug” on
page 82).
The jumper always defines the guest device. This jumper is never allowed to be fitted on
the host device.
When the S300 is switched on in an EFI system, the following message appears briefly on
the 7<segment display:
on the S300 host
on the S300 guest
In an EFI system with an S3000 the S300 must be configured as a guest, it is never
allowed to be configured as host.

troller or with another S300
