•
Make sure that the following types of light sources are not present on the scanning
plane:
-
Laser light from one or more other scanners or sensors
-
Infrared light
-
Fluorescent light
-
Stroboscopic light
Please consider as well Chapter 5.2.
•
It must not be used with internal combustion engines.
•
The SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner is conceived for use inside enclosed spaces
and with the operating parameters listed in the technical specifications
(temperature, humidity, shock, vibration, etc.). Please refer to the list of parameters
in Chapter 14.
•
Avoid having reflective surfaces (such as glass, mirrors, retro-reflectors, etc.) at
fixed contours in the scanning plane. If this is not possible, an additional detection
zone must be provided.

Information Related to Detection Zone Changeover
If alternating operation is included in the design, and thus detection zone changeover,
the activation and effect of the detection zone in question must match the alternating
operating mode.
•
The new detection zone must be activated before turning off the previous detection
zone. The time at which the changeover is made must be based on a risk analysis.
•
Braking paths, response and coast-down times must be taken into consideration
(for example overlapping detection zones).
•
A "Start interlock" function is provided.
•
If the machine has a restart key, it must not be possible to operate it from inside the
detection zones. All danger areas must be visible from the position of the button.
Before releasing the start/restart interlock, all detection zones must be tested. No
one is permitted inside the danger areas.
•
There must be no unmonitored zones inside the danger areas.
•
There must be no possibility for direct access to the danger area that shortens the
necessary safety distance (use a protective grid, for example).
•
The information on required detection zone additions in Chapter 5 must be
observed.
