4.9.2 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. 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 following figure shows an example

for the reading of a protective field:

In those places at which the surrounding contour is smaller than the maximum protective

field range (e.g. at ), the protective field  corresponds to the surrounding contour.

The measuring error tolerances for the S3000 are automatically subtracted from the

protective field size. As a result the protective field is slightly smaller than the surface

covered .

In those places where the surrounding contour is larger than the protective field range ,

the protective field corresponds to the possible scanning range.

WARNING

Check the protective field suggested!

The protective field suggested by the CDS is not a replacement for the calculation of the

minimum distance. Calculate the minimum distance and check the effectiveness of the

protective fields prior to commissioning the application!

Pay attention to the descriptions in chapter 5 “Mounting” on page 66, the notes in

chapter 9 “Commissioning” on page 120 and the checklist on page 169.
