Product description
To connect two safety laser scanners to one of the EFI strings on a Flexi Soft safety
controller, wire them radially, as shown in Fig. 12.
You will find details on the connection of safety laser scanners in section 7.3.8 “Protective
field switching with a Flexi Soft safety controller” on page 96.
3.5.2 Interoperability of the variants
Due to the further development of the safety laser scanner, additional functions, e.g. triple
field technology, have been implemented in the device. As a result the latest devices are
not 100% compatible with safety laser scanners already in use in the field.
To ensure compatibility, the S300 safety laser scanners with firmware M 02.10 and serial
number > 12210000 can be operated in compatibility mode. The following tables show
which devices can form an EFI system.
