Configurable functions
4.9.1 Configuring the protective field and warning field
With the aid of the CDS you can configure the field set, which comprises a protective
field and depending on the selected field mode one or two warning fields (see
section 4.3.4 “Field mode” on page 39). During this process you configure the shape
and size of the protective and warning fields. You can realize any field shape required.
The area to be monitored is scanned radially by the S3000. The S3000 cannot see
through objects during this process. The area behind objects that are in the area to be
monitored (pillars, grilles, etc.) can thus not be monitored.
Protective fields and warning field can cover up an angle of up to 190° and have different
radial scanning ranges depending on the sensor head and the resolution configured (see
section 4.3.1 “Resolution” on page 38).
WARNING
Check the protective fields configured!
Prior to commissioning the machine or vehicle, check the configuration of the protective
fields. Please observe the notes in chapter 9 “Commissioning” on page 120 and in the
checklist on page 169.
