Configurable functions
4.8.1 Application diagnostic output in the compatibility mode
The S300 variants have a configurable application diagnostic output in the compatibility
mode. For the application diagnostic output you configure in the CDS …
whether it is deactivated.
whether a signal is only output when the optics cover is contaminated.
whether a signal is only output on errors.
whether a signal is output both for optics cover contamination and on errors.
4.9 Field sets
The number of field sets that can be configured is dependent on the safety laser scanner
variant. The following table shows the number of field sets per variant:
Standard Advanced Professional Expert
Number of field sets 1 4 8 16
4.9.1 Configuring the protective field and warning field
With the aid of the CDS you can configure the field set, which comprises a protective field
and two warning fields . During this process you configure the shape and size of the
protective and warning fields. You can realize any field shape required.
The area to be monitored is scanned radially by the S300. The S300 cannot see through
objects during this process. The area behind objects that are in the area to be monitored
(pillars, grilles, etc.) can thus not be monitored.
Protective fields and warning field can cover up an angle of up to 270° and have different
radial scanning ranges depending on the variant and the resolution configured (see sec-
tion 4.3.1 “Resolution” on page 34).
WARNING
Check the protective fields configured!
Prior to commissioning the machine or vehicle, check the configuration of the protective
fields. Please observe the notes in chapter 9 “Commissioning” on page 99 and in the
checklist on page 140
