Product description
3.5.3 Specific features with EFI systems
Input signals
In an EFI system, the input signals for monitoring case switching are applied to the inputs
on the host or to a safety controller. The guest is connected to the host via EFI and re-
ceives from the host the input information for monitoring case switching.
Monitoring case switching
In an EFI system, the host defines the number of possible monitoring cases. If an S3000 is
configured as a guest with a higher level device (S3000 host, sens:Control device), more
monitoring cases may therefore be available depending on the system configuration.
The S3000 Advanced is used on an S3000 Professional as a guest. Eight monitoring
cases are configured for the S3000 Professional. On the S3000 Advanced there are also
eight monitoring cases available in this situation.
Internal or external OSSDs
In an EFI system you define which output signal switching device (OSSD) is switched when
there is an object in the protective field (see section 4.6 on page 46).
Restart interlock/delay
The effectiveness of a restart interlock/delay configured in the S3000 is dependent on the
integration of the EFI status information from the S3000 in the logic of the Flexi Soft safety
controller (see section 4.7 on page 48).
3.5.4 Interoperability with sens:Control devices
The S3000 safety laser scanner can be connected to the following sens:Control devices
and in this way integrated into the related bus systems.
PROFIsafe gateway UE4140-22I0000
PROFIBUS gateway UE1140-22I0000
Ethernet gateway UE1840-22H0000
CANopen gateway UE1940-22I0000
PROFINET IO gateway UE4740-20H0000
