S300 Mini safety laser scanners. They also address people who integrate the S300 Mini into a machine, a system or a vehicle, initialize its use, or who are in charge of servicing and maintaining the device.
Planning and using protective devices such as the S300 Mini also require specific tech- nical skills which are not detailed in this documentation. General information on accident prevention using opto-electronic protective devices can be found in the competence brochure “Guidelines Safe Machinery”.
Refer to notes for special features of the device. Note Display indicators show the status of the 7<segment display on the S300 Mini: Constant indication of characters, e.g. 8 Flashing indication of characters, e.g. 8 Alternating indication of characters, e.g.
ESPE and are allocated the task by the organization operating the ESPE. Applications of the device The S300 Mini safety laser scanner is used to protect persons and systems. It is intended to be used to monitor hazardous areas indoors. It is not allowed to use the S300 Mini outdoors.
S300 Mini Correct use The S300 Mini safety laser scanner must be used only as defined in section 2.2 “Applica- tions of the device” on page 10. It must be used only by qualified personnel and only on the machine where it has been installed and initialized by qualified safety personnel in accordance with these operating instructions.
Page 12
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine where the S300 Mini is used. The machine operator is to be instructed in the use of the device by qualified safety personnel and must be instructed to read the operating instructions.
Chapter 2 S300 Mini Environmental protection The S300 Mini 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.
Operating instructions Chapter 3 S300 Mini Product description This chapter provides information on the special features and properties of the S300 Mini safety laser scanner. It describes the construction and the operating principle of the device. Special features small design 270°...
It must be possible to transfer the dangerous machine, system or vehicle state to a safe state using the OSSDs on the S300 Mini Standard at any time, i.e. before a person has reached the hazardous point or hazardous area.
Page 17
90° 0° In the S300 Mini 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°. The first beam of a scan starts at –45° relative to the back of the safety laser scanner.
In this way the wear on the brakes on an AGV can be reduced. Warning field 2 can also be used to trigger a warning signal. A warning field on all S300 Mini variants is not allowed to be used for tasks related to the Note protection of people.
3.2.3 Monitoring cases of the S300 Mini Remote On the S300 Mini Remote up to 32 monitoring cases can be defined and selected via EFI during operation. In this way process-dependent hazardous area protection or velocity- dependent vehicle monitoring is possible for example.
So that different applications can be covered, two S300 Mini variants each with two or three different scanning ranges are available. Scanning ranges The S300 Mini variants differ in the maximum scanning range and the resulting size of the protective field. Fig. 6: Protective field ranges Max.
Status indicators 3.4.1 LEDs and 7?segment display The LEDs and the 7<segment display indicate the operational status of the S300 Mini. They are on the front face of the safety laser scanner. Fig. 7: Status indicators on the S300 Mini The symbols have the following meaning: Tab.
7<segment display: on the S300 Mini host on the S300 Mini guest In an EFI system with an S3000 or S300 the S300 Mini must be configured as a guest, it Note is never allowed to be configured as host.
Four safety laser scanners in combination with a Flexi Soft safety controller: in the EFI string at the top in the example, the address of one S300 Mini is set to host, the other as the guest. In the EFI string at the bottom the address of the S3000 must be set to host, the S300 Mini to guest.
Interoperability with safety laser scanners in compatibility mode The S300 Mini cannot form an EFI system with an S3000 or S300 that is operated in the compatibility mode, (for details on the compatibility mode in the S3000 and S300 safety laser scanners see their operating instructions.
The Flexi Soft safety controller provides two EFI strings; up to two safety laser scanners (S3000, S300, S300 Mini) can be connected to each of these strings. It is therefore possible to realize applications with up to four safety laser scanners (see also section 7.2.2 on page 85 and section 7.3.6 on page 89).
Chapter 3 Operating instructions S300 Mini To configure and perform diagnostics on the S300 Mini Remote connect the PC to the configuration connection on the Flexi Soft safety controller, the related EFI partner device, or directly to the S300 Mini Remote.
Chapter 3 S300 Mini 3.5.5 Interoperability with sens:Control devices The S300 Mini Remote safety laser scanner can be connected to the following sens:Control devices and via these devices integrated into the related bus system. PROFIsafe gateway UE4140-22I0000 PROFIBUS gateway UE1140-22I0000...
Display direction of the 7?segment display The depiction of numbers on the 7<segment display can be rotated by 180° with the aid of the CDS. This is useful, for example, when the S300 Mini must be rotated by 180° owing to the specific assembly.
Chapter 4 S300 Mini Application With the help of the CDS you can configure the S300 Mini for the required application. Depending on whether you select a stationary or a mobile application, different configu- ration options are available: Tab. 6: Comparison of mobile...
32), the maximum protective field range of the safety laser scanner is shown in the CDS. The maximum protective field range of the S300 Mini must be sufficient to cover the Note calculated protective field size including the necessary supplements (see section 5.1.1 “Protective field size”...
S300 Mini Inputs Although the S300 Mini Remote does not have any local inputs, if it is operated on a Flexi Soft safety controller or on another safety laser scanner, you must still configure the inputs via which the S300 Mini Remote receives the input conditions via EFI.
WARNING use the signals for controlling the application or for safety-relevant functions. The S300 Mini Standard has two universal I/O connections (see section 6.1.1 “Round plug connector S300 Mini Standard” on page 80). You can configure these two connections for...
If, in mobile applications, vehicles are not moved for a time, the OSSDs can be switched to the OFF state and the laser on the S300 Mini can be switched off. In this way the power consumption of the device is reduced.
You can configure the type of restart in the CDS. The S300 Mini Remote can only be operated on an S3000/S300 safety laser scanner, on Note a Flexi Soft safety controller or on a sens:Control device via EFI. If you need a restart interlock, then you must configure and install it on this device.
Page 38
In mobile applications you can configure a restart delay from 2 to 60 seconds on the S300 Mini. The OSSDs on the S300 Mini switch to the ON state if there is no object in the protective field for the duration given.
Page 39
Note tions the term reset is used. If you want to activate the restart interlock on the S300 Mini (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) …...
Fig. 19: Creating a field set in the CDS The area to be monitored is scanned radially by the S300 Mini. The S300 Mini cannot see Note through objects during this process. The area behind objects that are in the area to be monitored (pillars, grilles, etc.) can thus not be monitored.
(e.g. at ), the protective field corresponds to the surrounding contour. The measuring error tolerances for the S300 Mini are automatically subtracted from the Note protective field size. As a result the protective field is slightly smaller than the surface...
Chapter 4 S300 Mini 4.7.3 Using the contour as a reference In addition to the protective field, the S300 Mini can also monitor a contour (e.g. the floor in vertical applications). Fig. 22: Schematic diagram of contour as reference For contour monitoring you define a contour segment .
Page 44
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 Mini is changed in one or more planes, the distance to the reference changes and the S300 Mini Standard switches its OSSDs to the OFF state or the S300 Mini Remote signals Protective field infringed.
S300 Mini Monitoring cases The S300 Mini supports a configuration with multiple monitoring cases. By switching the monitoring case on the S300 Mini Remote you can switch to different monitoring conditions in the case of a change to the monitoring situation.
Monitoring case 4 (forward movement 3) 101 … 200 cm/s The S300 Mini Remote receives velocity information via EFI. It switches to one of the monitoring cases configured depending on the velocity received. During the configuration of the monitoring cases in the CDS, you must cover all possible or Note allowed velocities of the vehicle.
(see section 12.2 “OSSD response times” on page 106)! On the S300 Mini, a multiple sampling of 2 is the minimum setting. You can set the mul- tiple sampling to up to 16 with the aid of the CDS. The supplement to the basic response time resulting from your setting is displayed in the CDS.
If, in mobile applications, vehicles are not moved for a time (e.g. for battery charging), the OSSDs can be switched to the OFF state and the laser on the S300 Mini can be switched off. In this way the power consumption of the device is reduced.
S300 Mini ensured. WARNING Mount the S300 Mini in a dry place and protect the device from dirt and damage. Notes Avoid the installation of the S300 Mini in the vicinity of strong electric fields. These can, e.g., be produced by welding cables, induction cables in the immediate vicinity and also...
You can operate the S300 Mini in stationary horizontal operation with 30, 40, 50 or 70 mm resolution. The maximum protective field range for the S300 Mini is given by the resolution. Ensure that a human leg can be detected with 70 mm resolution! As per EN ISO 13 855, mount the scan planes for horizontal stationary applications with 70 mm resolution at least 300 mm above the floor (see “Height of the scan plane at...
Page 58
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 Mini shuts down the dangerous state. For this reason the calculation of the minimum distance must take into account a supplement to prevent persons from finding themselves in a hazardous situation by reaching over (see EN ISO 13 857) before the S300 Mini triggers.
150 mm or finer are required. To protect the protective device against inadvertent adjustment or manipulation, you must use the contour of the surroundings as a reference for the S300 Mini (see section 4.7.3 “Using the contour as a reference” on page 43).
Page 61
Response time T of the S300 Mini The total response time of the S300 Mini must not be more than 80 ms for access protection! If a critical response time is exceeded (for an object diameter of 150 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 Mini must therefore be configured with a resolution of at least 40 mm. Note Never use the S300 Mini for safety applications in which finger protection is required! Due to the finest possible resolution of 30 mm, the S300 Mini is not suitable for finger protection. WARNING To protect the protective device against inadvertent adjustment or manipulation, you must use the contour of the surroundings as a reference for the S300 Mini (see section 4.7.3...
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 Mini. The S300 Mini may only be used to protect vehicles powered by electric motor.
Protective field length You must configure the protective field such that a minimum distance to the vehicle is maintained. This ensures that a vehicle monitored by the S300 Mini comes to a stop before a person or object is reached.
5.4.3 Height of the scan plane Mount the S300 Mini 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 so that objects with a diameter of 200 mm are not detected, is not allowed. We recommend WARNING aligning the scan plane horizontally at 150 mm.
Chapter 5 Operating instructions S300 Mini Methods of preventing unprotected areas During mounting the S300 Mini, areas may be found that are not covered by the safety laser scanner ( ). Fig. 39: Unprotected areas Prevent or secure unprotected areas! Mount the S300 Mini such that there are no unprotected areas.
2 With two S300 Mini 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 controller within 10 ms, the protective field selected is available within the basic response time of the S300 Mini. 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.
Fig. 45: Prevent crawling beneath, standing behind, climbing over The origin of the scan plane is 80 mm above the bottom edge of the S300 Mini (see Fig. 78 on page 117). There are three possible ways of fixing the S300 Mini:...
5.7.1 Direct mounting The S300 Mini has two threaded holes M5 × 8 on the rear. Using them you can mount the S300 Mini 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 centering 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 × 10. Then mount the S300 Mini on mounting kit 2 with the aid of the threaded holes in mounting kit 1a.
5.7.5 Using multiple S300 Mini safety laser scanners The S300 Mini is so designed that mutual interference between several safety laser scan- ners is unlikely. To completely exclude erroneous switching, you must mount the safety laser scanners as shown in the following examples.
Page 78
If you use screened cables, lay the screen evenly around the connection terminal. Ensure that the S300 Mini is adequately protected electrically. You will find the electrical data necessary for determining the correct fuse in section 12.4 “Data sheet” on page 110.
S300 Mini System connection You will find all the inputs and outputs on the S300 Mini on the round plug connector on the connecting cable. Connect the S300 Mini using pre-assembled extension cables (see Tab. 19 on page 80 and Tab. 21 on page 81).
The access is monitored permanently. For safety against manipulation on the S300 Mini, e.g. the floor is used as a reference. If the alignment of the S300 Mini changes (e.g. due to changes to the bracket), the S300 Mini switches its OSSDs to the OFF state.
The S300 Mini 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.
