6 Configuration Instructions

6.1 System Configuration Settings

The Scanner must be configured by the user to satisfy the requirements of your application.
Use the SX5's configuration software to establish the SX5 operating parameters. Download the SX5soft software from
www.bannerengineering.com
The software is the SX5's configuration tool, providing several important advantages:
• Intuitive Graphical User Interface for rapid configuration
• Defined configuration directly stored in the device
• Discovery and IP address setting features to facilitate remote configuration
• Device Monitoring
The software can be used with a SX5 connected or offline (without a SX5). A configuration can be saved and downloaded to
a SX5 at a later time.

6.1.1 Response Time and Scan Cycle Setting

The response time of the scanner is the time from when an object enters the Safety Zone to when the OSSD goes to the
OFF state. The scanner scans cyclically with a constant speed and it requires 30 ms to complete one rotation.
The minimum response time of the scanner is 62 ms, which is the time needed by the scanner to make two rotations
(scans).
Select the number of scans (and therefore the response time) using the configuration software. The user may enter
response times from 62 to 482 ms in 30 ms increments (by changing the number of scans from 2 to 16).
Increase the number of scans if the scanner is operating in a dirty environment caused by floating dust particles (here the
user may need to collect more data, experiment, to prevent inadvertent OSSD off signals from dust).
CAUTION: If the application requires changing the response time, the configuration may require changes
to the Safety Zone (making it bigger) or changes in the scanner installation.
Default setting: 62 ms.

6.1.2 Automatic or Manual Start/Restart

Depending on the number of zone sets being used in the configuration, the Qualified Person can select an Automatic Start/
Restart (trip output) or a Manual Start/Restart (latch output). This setting determines if the SX5 enters Run mode
automatically or if a manual reset is required first.
Select automatic or manual start/restart using the configuration software.
If Automatic Start/Restart is selected, the OSSD outputs turn on after power is applied, and the SX5 passes its internal self-
test and recognizes that the Safety Zone is clear. The OSSD outputs also turn on after the Safety zone clears following a
blockage. When the SX5 is set for Automatic Start/Restart, other measures must be taken to prevent a pass-through
hazard.
For mobile applications, BS/DIN EN 1525 requires a two (2) second restart delay after the Safety Zone becomes clear
before the OSSDs turn back on. This delay is meant to allow an individual to fully clear the area protected by the scanner.
For mobile applications, set the Recovery Time for at least 2000 ms.
If Manual Start/Restart is selected, the SX5 requires a manual reset for the OSSD outputs to turn on when power is applied
and the safety zone is clear. The manual Restart switch must be pressed for at least 500 ms.
WARNING: Use of Auto (Trip) or Manual (Latch) Start/Restart
Application of power to the Banner device, the clearing of the sensing field, or the reset of a manual
start/restart (latch) condition MUST NOT initiate dangerous machine motion. Machine control circuitry
must be designed so that one or more initiation devices must be engaged (in a conscious act) to start the
machine – in addition to the Banner device going into Run mode. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
