7.11.3 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. For this
pur
pose, the safety laser scanner scans the visible surrounding contour several times.
From the data obtained, the CDS suggests the contour and size of the field. The follow‐
ing figure shows an example for the reading of a protective field:
Figure 54: Reading the protective field
In t
hose places at which the surrounding contour is smaller than the maximum protec‐
tive field range (e.g., at 1), the protective field 4 corresponds to the surrounding con‐
tour.
NOTE
T
he measuring error tolerances for the device are automatically subtracted from the
protective field size. As a result the protective field is slightly smaller than the surface
covered 2.
In those places where the surrounding contour is larger than the protective field range
3, t
he protective field corresponds to the possible scanning range.
WARNING
P
ersons or parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized or not recognized in
time in case of non-observance.
The protective field suggested by the CDS is not a replacement for the calculation of the
minimum distance, see "Mounting", page 55.
Before commissioning the machine or vehicle, check the configuration of the protective
fields, see "Commissioning", page 91, see "Checklist for initial commissioning and
commissioning", page 129.
