4.9.2 Protective field or warning field suggested by the safety laser scanner

The CDS can suggest the protective field or warning field in the field set editor. The safety

laser scanner scans the visible surrounding contour several times. From the data obtained

he CDS suggests the contour and size of the field. The following figure shows an example

for the reading of a protective field:

In those places at which the surrounding contour is smaller than the maximum protective

field range (e.g. at ), the protective field  corresponds to the surrounding contour.

The measuring error tolerances for the S300 are automatically subtracted from the protec-

tive field size. As a result the protective field is slightly smaller than the surface covered .

In those places where the surrounding contour is larger than the protective field range ,

the protective field corresponds to the possible scanning range.

WARNING

Check the protective field suggested!

The protective field suggested by the CDS is not a replacement for the calculation of the

minimum distance. Calculate the minimum distance and check the effectiveness of the

protective fields prior to commissioning the application!

Pay attention to the descriptions in chapter 5 “Mounting” on page 56, the notes in chap-

ter 9 “Commissioning” on page 99 and the checklist on page 140.
