Safeguarding Stationary Danger Zones
Please comply with the safety notes in Chapter 3.
5.4.1
The Purpose of Safeguarding
is for protection:
•
to protect people when entering a danger zone
•
to protect people from reaching a danger point with their extremities
•
to protect objects from the danger of collision due to variable machine or part
movements.
5.4.2
Mounting Position
The SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner can be mounted either in a stationary position (e.g.
on a wall or a machine) or on moving parts (e.g. machine table).
The qualified installer must ensure that the mounting position of the SIMATIC FS600
Laser Scanner allows the danger zone to be monitored completely.
If a restart button is being used, make certain that the entire detection zone area can be
viewed by the person pressing the button. It must not be possible to activate the button
from the danger area.
Refer to the safety notes in Chapter 3.6 with regard to lateral access into the danger
zone.
