5.2 Stationary vertical operation for access protection
A
ccess protection can be used when the access to the machine can be defined by physical
means. For access protection the S300 detects the entry of an entire body.
To ensure adequate access protection, a response time of 90 ms and a resolution of
150 mm or finer are required.
To protect the protective device against inadvertent adjustment or manipulation, you
must use the contour of the surroundings as a reference for the S300 (see section 4.9.3
“Using the contour as a reference” on page 46).
5.2.1 Minimum distance
For access protection, a minimum distance (S) must be maintained between protective
field and hazardous area. This safety distance ensures that the hazardous point can only
be reached after the dangerous state of the machine has been completely stopped.
The minimum distance S as defined in EN ISO 13855 and EN ISO 13857 depends on:
reach or approach speed
stopping/run-down time of the machine or system
(The stopping/run-down time is shown in the machine documentation or must be
determined by taking a measurement. — On request SICK service can perform a
stoptime measurement on your system.)
response time of the S300
supplement C against reaching through
