8.2 Preparation of the configuration
How to prepare the configuration:
Make sure that the safety laser scanner has been correctly mounted and that the
electrical connections are correct and in place.
Have the necessary tools at hand.
To configure the safety laser scanner you need:
CDS (Configuration & Diagnostic Software) on CD<ROM, version M 3.6.7
user manual for CDS on CD<ROM
PC/Notebook with Windows NT 4/2000 Professional/XP/Vista/7 (32 Bit) and a serial
RS<232 interface (PC/notebook not included)
service cable for connecting PC and S300 (not included)
How to configure the S300 with the aid of the CDS:
For configuration and diagnostics using the CDS, connect the PC to the configuration
connection.
Two service cables of different length are available for the connection of the PC/notebook
to the S300 (see 13.3 on page 135).
Ensure that the service cable is not laid in close proximity to high power electrical drives
or cables carrying high power. In this way you will avoid EMC effects on the service cable.
The service cable is only allowed to be connected for configuration and diagnostics. The
service cable must be disconnected and the protective cap fitted in operation.
To configure the device, please read the user manual for the CDS (Configuration & Diag-
nostic Software) and use the online help function of the program.
Use the password function in the CDS and protect the configuration settings from unautho-
rized access. Also ensure that the passwords are stored protected from unauthorized
access.
