5.4.4.2 Recessed installation within the machine contour
Furthermore, the scanner can be recessed into the contours of a machine. The recess
can have a depth of up to 40 mm without the mounting system 3RG7838-1AA,
or up to 65 mm with the mounting system 3RG7838-1AA. This is in reference to
detection zones that cover an angle range of 180°. If it is not possible to comply with
these values, or if unmonitored zones result due to the shape or movement of the
machine, additional safety measures must be taken.
The effectiveness of the detection zones can be optimized by changing the depth at
which the scanner is installed, or by adjusting the angle range (e.g. from 180° to 190°).
For information on how to configure the scanner in this way, please refer to the
"SIMATIC FS600 Parameterization Software LS4soft" user's manual included with
delivery.
