How to calculate the minimum distance S (see EN ISO 13855):
First, calculate S using the following formula:
S
= 2000 × (T
M
+
T
S
)
+ 8 × (d – 14) [mm]
Where …
S = Minimum distance [mm]
T
M
=
Stopping/run-down time of the machine or system
T
S
= Response time of the S3000
d = Resolution of the S3000 [mm]
The reach/approach speed is already included in the formula.
If the result S is 500 mm, then use the determined value as the minimum distance.
If the result S is > 500 mm, you may be able to reduce the minimum distance using the
following calculation:
S = 1600 × (T
M
+ T
S
) + 8 × (d – 14) [mm]
If the new value S is > 500 mm, then use the newly calculated value as the minimum
distance.
If the new value S is 500 mm, then use 500 mm as the minimum distance.
Response time of the S3000
The response time T
S
of the S3000 depends on …
the resolution used.
the multiple sampling set.
the transmission speed to external OSSDs over EFI.
See section 12.2 “OSSD response times” on page 144.
