The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine where the S300 is used. The machine operator is to be instructed in the use of the device by specialist personnel and must be instructed to read the operating instructions.
Chapter 2 S300 Environmental protection The S300 safety laser scanner is constructed in such a way that it adversely affects the environment as little as possible and uses only a minimum of power and natural resources. At work, always act in an environmentally responsible manner.
Chapter 3 S300 Product description This chapter provides information on the special features and properties of the S300 safety laser scanner. It describes the construction and the operating principle of the device. Please read this chapter before mounting, installing and commissioning the device.
86). If the S300 Advanced or Professional is used in a master/slave system as a slave, the number of monitoring cases depends on the master connected (There can be up to 16 monitoring cases, the max. number of field sets for the S300 remains unchanged).
After integration in the control it must be possible to transfer the dangerous machine, system or vehicle state to a safe state using the OSSDs on the S300 at any time, i.e. before a person has reached the hazardous point or hazardous area.
Page 18
Fig. 3: Principle of operation, rotation of the S300 In the S300 there is also a mirror rotating at constant speed that deflects the light pulses such that they cover an arc of 270° . In this way an object can be detected in the protective field within 270°.
(see section 3.3.3 “Monitoring cases” on page 20). You can configure and transfer these field sets to the with the aid of the CDS S300. If the hazardous area to be monitored changes, then you can re-configure the S300 in software without additional mounting effort.
3.3.3 Monitoring cases Depending on the variant used (see section “S300 variants” on page 16) up to four monitoring cases can be defined and selected during operation using static or dynamic control inputs. In this way, for instance, it is possible to monitor vehicles as a function of the velocity.
Protective field On stationary machines, the S300 switches the output signal switching devices (OSSDs) to the OFF state if the protective field is interrupted. The S300 initiates the shutdown of the machine or the shutdown of the dangerous state. Hazardous area protection with multiple monitored areas (position-related protective field switching) Fig.
Page 22
S300 Point-of-operation guarding The S300 safety laser scanner can be used to prevent starting or restarting as long as there are persons in the hazardous area. The machine can only be started or restarted if the S300 does not detect any object in the protective field. This is particularly important for system interiors that can only be seen with difficulty from the outside, or cannot be seen at all.
(AGV) or trolleys. You can use the S300 on vehicles, e.g. to protect the route of a vehicle through a factory building. If there is a person or an obstacle in the hazardous area, the S300 ensures that the vehicle reduces the velocity and stops if necessary.
During this process you configure the shape and size of the protective field and the warning field. You can realise any field shape required. The area to be monitored is scanned radially by the S300. The S300 cannot see through Note objects during this process.
3.5.2 Application and resolution With the aid of the CDS you can configure the S300 for use on a stationary or mobile application. Also set the resolution of the S300. The maximum protective field range depends on the resolution set. The following table shows the related maximum protective field range at the resolutions that can be set: Tab.
Page 26
Use lateral, vertical boundaries of the opening (e.g. door frame) and the floor as reference. Recommendation If in this case the position of the S300 is changed in one or more planes, the distance to the reference changes and the S300 switches its OSSDs to the OFF state.
The machine is only allowed to start if both contactors are in the OFF state, that is they are deactivated. The table shows how the S300 reacts if the external device monitoring detects a contactor malfunction: Tab. 5: Behaviour of the Without internal restart The system locks completely (lock-out).
Configuration of the S300 without restart interlock After the OSSDs on the S300 have been switched to the OFF state due to an object in the protective field, the OSSDs are re-enabled again immediately when there is no longer an object in the active protective field.
Page 29
Note instructions the term reset is used. If you want to activate the restart interlock on the S300 (internal) and also a restart interlock on the machine (external), then each restart interlock has its own control switch. After operating the control switch for the internal restart interlock (with protective field unoccupied) …...
Monitoring cases on the S300 Advanced and Professional If you use the S300 Advanced, you can define up to two monitoring cases, if you use the S300 Professional, you can define up to four monitoring cases. You allocate a field set to each monitoring case.
(see section 4.6 “Time for monitoring case switching” on page 52). S300 Advanced The S300 Advanced has one dual-channel control input via which the two possible monitoring cases can be switched. The control signal must be applied to the connections as a complementary signal.
Control input C on the S300 Professional for mobile applications If, on the S300 Professional in a mobile application, the inputs A and B are connected to incremental encoders, an additional control input C can be formed using the RESET and RES_REQ connections (see Tab.
To unambiguously differentiate between the master device and slave device in a master/slave system, it is possible to define a S300 as a slave. For this purpose a jumper is wired between the connection terminals 13 (ERR) and 7 (A1) (see section 5.1.1 “Pin assignment on the system plug”...
(OSSD) is switched when there is an object in the protective field. Internal OSSDs Defines that the protective field or the protective fields switch the OSSDs on S300. External OSSDs The S300 transmits the status of the field sets (protective field/warning field) over the EFI.
Reset required Optics cover contaminated 3.7.2 Outputs Using the outputs on the S300 you shutdown the dangerous state on a machine, a plant or a vehicle and evaluate the operational status of the S300. The S300 has the following outputs: OSSDs application diagnostic output “Warning field interrupted”...
Mount the S300 in a dry place and protect the device from dirt and damage. Notes Avoid the installation of the S300 in the vicinity of strong electric fields. These can, e.g., be produced by welding cables, induction cables in the immediate vicinity and also by mobile telephones operated nearby.
In such a case you must calculate the protective field size for all protective fields used. You can operate the S300 in stationary horizontal operation with 30, 40, 50 or 70 mm resolution. The maximum protective field range for the S300 is given by the resolution.
Page 40
With a protective field installed horizontally, there is a risk that people may reach over the protective field and in this way reach the hazardous area before the S300 shuts down the dangerous state. For this reason the calculation of the safety distance must take into account a supplement to prevent persons from finding themselves in a hazardous situation by reaching over (see EN 294, table 1) before the S300 triggers.
70 mm or finer are required. To protect the protective device against unadvertent adjustment or manipulation, you must use the contour of the surroundings as a reference for the S300 (see section 3.5.3 “Using the contour as a reference” on page 25).
Page 43
Response time T of the S300 The total response time of the S300 must not be more than 80 ms for access protection! If a critical response time is exceeded (for an object diameter of 70 mm and a speed of WARNING 1.6 m/s that is 90 ms) a person may no longer be detected under certain circumstances.
The S300 must therefore be configured with a resolution of at least 40 mm. Note Never use the S300 for safety applications in which finger protection is required! Due to the finest possible resolution of 30 mm, the S300 is not suitable for finger protection. WARNING To protect the protective device against unadvertent adjustment or manipulation, you must use the contour of the surroundings as a reference for the S300 (see section 3.5.3...
If the dangerous state is produced by a vehicle (e.g. AGV or fork lift), the hazardous area that is produced by the movement of the vehicle is protected by the S300. The S300 may only be used to protect vehicles powered by electric motor.
Protective field length You must configure the protective field such that a safety distance to the vehicle is maintained. This ensures that a vehicle monitored by the S300 comes to a stop before a person or object is reached. If you are using an S300 Advanced or Professional, you can define several monitoring cases with different protective fields.
4.4.3 Height of the scan plane Mount the S300 such that the scan plane is at a maximum height of 200 mm! In this way also persons lying down will be reliably detected. Tilting the protective field, which results in objects with a diameter of 200 mm not being detected, is not allowed. We WARNING recommend aligning the scan plane horizontally at 150 mm.
Chapter 4 Safety Laser Scanner S300 Methods of preventing unprotected areas During mounting the S300, areas may be found that are not covered by the safety laser scanner ( ). Fig. 30: Unprotected areas Prevent or secure unprotected areas! Mount the S300 such that there are no unprotected areas.
2 With two S300 mounted at an angle of 45° on the front corners of a vehicle, you can configure the protective fields so that there are no unprotected areas and the hazardous areas in narrow aisles can also be protected.
If you switch the control within 10 ms, the protective field selected is available within the basic response time of the S300. For this reason you can initiate the switching at the time at which you actually want to switch from one monitoring case to the other.
4.7.1 Direct mounting The S300 has two threaded holes M5 × 8 on the rear. Using them you can mount the S300 directly on the intended mounting surface. To avoid a possible tendency to vibrate, if necessary the reference surface on the rear can be used as the third mounting point Fig.
Fit the centring pin (4 mm) in the central hole on mounting bracket 3. Fit mounting kit 2 to mounting kit 3 and mount it using two fixing screws M4 × 8. Then mount the S300 on mounting kit 2 with the aid of the threaded holes in mounting kit 1a.
S300 4.7.5 Using multiple S300 safety laser scanners The S300 is so designed that mutual interference between several laser scanners is unlikely. To completely exclude erroneous switching, you must mount the laser scanners as shown in the following examples. In any circumstance observe EN 999 when calculating the safety distance.
(see page 64). System connection You will find all inputs and outputs of the S300 on the 24-pin screw terminal connection + FE in the system plug. Fig. 47: Screw terminal strip on the system plug The system connection pin assignments vary depending on the S300 variant.
100 kHz min. number of pulses: 50 pulses per cm You can procure suitable incremental encoders from SICK AG, tel.: +49 211/5301>250 or Recommendation at www.sick.com. Or contact your local SICK representative. Never supply both incremental encoders using one supply cable! The connecting cables for both incremental encoders must be in separate sheaths.

Recommendation ordering information (see section 12.3.4 “Self assembly connecting cables” on page 103). Pre-assembled system plugs To connect the S300 variants, the following pre-assembled system plugs are available (see also section 12.3.2 “System plug” on page 103): For S300 Standard SX0B-B1105G, SX0B-B1110G and SX0B-B1120G –...
The access is monitored permanently. For safety against manipulation on the S300, e.g. the floor is used as a reference. If the alignment of the S300 changes (e.g. due to changes to the bracket), the S300 switches its OSSDs to the OFF state.
S300 Standard with one protective field and warning field The S300 monitors the area in the direction of travel and switches its OSSDs to the OFF state to stop the vehicle as soon as there is an object in the protective field. 8010948/24-12-05...
Using incremental encoders the S300 Professional acquires the velocity of the vehicle via its dynamic control inputs. For different velocities, various field sets with protective fields and warning fields of varying sizes are configured in the S300. The field sets are switched dynamically using the vehicle velocity.

Repeat this test at different points in the danger area and on all S300 devices . If you discover any non-conformance of this function, the machine/plant must be shut down immediately and checked by a specialist.
S300 Re-commissioning If the S300 has already been placed in operation once, however the device has been temporarily replaced in the meantime, the S300 reads the configuration saved from the system connector remaining on the machine or system. In this way acceptance by a specialist is not necessary.
If the optics cover is scratched or damaged, you must replace the optics cover. Order the replacement optics cover from SICK (see section 12.3 “Accessories/spare parts” on page 102). The optics cover on the S300 is an optical part that must not be soiled or scratched on Notes replacement.

The voltage supply must be capable of buffering brief mains voltage failures of 20 ms as specified in EN 60 204. Suitable power supplies are available as accessories from SICK (Siemens series 6 EP 1 — as per DIN 40 839>1, test pulse 5 (Load Dump) limited to 58 V, tested!) The absolute voltage level must not drop below the specified minimum voltage.
System plugs not included. Note System plugs without cable and pre-assembled system plugs are available from SICK AG (see section 12.3.2 “System plug” on page 103). For further information see section 5.2 “System plug assembly” on page 62 and section 5.3 “Pre-assembled system plugs” on page 64.
A field set is allocated to a monitoring case. Monitoring case switching is performed using Monitoring case the control inputs. In this way the S300 can be adapted to the operating mode of the machine or plant that it monitors.
