SICK safeVisionary2 - Planning the Thorough Check During Commissioning and in Certain Situations; Test Object

Test object
A t
est object is required for some thorough checks. The size of the test object must, if
possible, correspond to the configured resolution. A suitable test object is an opaque
cylinder with a matte black surface.

4.6.1 Planning the thorough check during commissioning and in certain situations
Overview
Be
fore commissioning the machine and after making changes, you must check whether
the safety functions are fulfilling their planned purpose and whether persons are being
adequately protected.
Minimum requirements
T
he protective device and its application must be thoroughly checked in the following
situations:
•
Before commissioning
•
After changes to the configuration or the safety function
•
After changes to the mounting, the alignment, or the electrical connection
•
After exceptional events, such as after manipulation has been detected, after
modification of the machine, or after replacing components
The thorough check ensures the following:
•
All relevant regulations are complied with and the protective device is active for all
of the machine’s operating modes. This includes the following points:
°
compliance with standards
°
correct use of the protective device
°
suitable configuration and safety function
°
correct alignment
•
The documentation accurately reflects the state/condition of the machine, includ‐
ing the protective device.
•
The verified configuration report matches the desired project planning (see "Verify
configuration", page 76).
The thorough checks must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially
qualified and authorized personnel, and must be documented in a traceable manner.
Recommended thorough checks
In man
y cases, it makes sense to carry out the following thorough checks during
commissioning and in certain situations:
•
Test of the relevant points on the checklist, see "Checklist for initial commissioning
and commissioning", page 106
•
"Visual check of the machine and the protective device", page 49
•
"Thorough check of the principal function of the protective device", page 47
•
"Thorough check of the area to be protected", page 48
•
"Test of the contour detection field", page 49
•
Instruction of the operating personnel in the function of the protective device
