4.10 Monitoring cases
T
he S3000 supports a configuration with multiple monitoring cases. By switching the
monitoring case you can switch to different monitoring conditions in the case of a change
to the monitoring situation.
WARNING
Ensure for each monitoring case that the minimum distance to the hazardous area is
maintained!
See chapter 5 “Mounting” on page 66.
The number of monitoring cases that can be configured is dependent on the variant and
on the control. The following table shows the number of monitoring cases:
Standard Advanced Professional Expert Remote
Applications with local static control inputs on the S3000
141616–
Applications with static control inputs via EFI (e.g. on a Flexi Soft)
32 32 32 32 32
Applications with local dynamic control inputs on the S3000
––3232–
Applications with dynamic control inputs via EFI
32 32 32 32 32
You can configure the monitoring cases in the CDS.
Each monitoring case includes …
the input conditions, the so-called control signals, that control the activation of the
monitoring case.
a field set, comprising of protective field and warning field or fields.
if necessary, a simultaneous field set.
if necessary, a unique follow-on case or two alternative follow-on cases.
the multiple sampling for the field set.
the multiple sampling for the simultaneous field set.
Monitoring cases can be switched with the following input information:
static information
velocity information
a combination of both
monitoring cases per variant
and application
