3.4.2 Field types
Overview
A s
afety camera sensor continuously checks whether people or objects are present in
one or more areas. The areas to be checked are called fields. A distinction is made
between the field types below, depending on the application type.
Protective field

Description The protective field is the area in which the test object specified by the
manuf
acturer is detected by the electro-sensitive protective equipment
(ESPE). As soon as the electro-sensitive protective device detects an
object in the protective field, it switches the associated safety outputs
to the OFF state. This signal can be passed to controllers resulting in
the dangerous state coming to an end, e.g. to stop the machine or the
vehicle.

ple in stationary applications
