Use Teach In To Assign Safety And Warning Zones; Protecting A Vertical Area (Reference Points); Connect A Scanner To A Pc (Discover The Scanner) - Banner SX5 Instruction Manual

2. Select the zone shape from the options on the right side of the screen.
When modifying an existing zone, you may copy zone shapes between zones (Safety and Warning), move a zone
shape between zones (Safety and Warning), edit a zone shape, or delete a zone shape.
• Free-Hand Zones—Click on the pencil icon to free-hand draw the desired zone shape. Click and hold on the
graph starting point (lowest point on either side of the scanner). Move around the scanner to map the outer edge
of the zone. When the zone is complete release the mouse button.
• Line Zones—Click the line icon to draw a triangular shaped zone whose far edge is defined by the line. Then
click and hold on the graph at the starting point of the line (lowest point on the right side of the shape or lowest
point on the left side of the desired shape). Move up and left (or up and right) to draw the straight line. Release
the left mouse button to finish the line.
• Circular Shaped Zones—Click the circle icon to draw a circular shaped zone. Click and hold the cursor on the
graph. Moving the cursor in and out changes the size of the circle up to the maximum range of the unit. When
the desired diameter is reached, release the mouse button.
• Arc Zones—Click on the cone icon to draw a triangular shaped zone whose far edge is defined by an arc
(rounded not straight). Click and hold on the graph at the lowest left hand starting point of the zone. Move to the
right side ending point of the zone and release the button.
• Polygon Shaped Zones—Click on the polygon icon to draw a polygonal shaped zone. Click at the starting point
of the desired polygonal zone. Move to the next edge transition point and click again. Keep clicking at the
transition points. To finish the zone, double-click at the final point of the shape.
• Numerically Generated Zones—Click on the coordinate icon to numerically enter coordinates to create graphical
zones. Coordinates for circles, lines, arcs, and polygons can be entered.
3. To edit a zone, right-click on the zone in the graph, select Shapes from the menu that opens, select the desired
shape to edit, then select edit. To exit editing mode, repeat this step.
Click the eye icon to show Zone transition points and allow the editing (moving) of those points. After the changes are
complete, click the eye icon again to leave editing mode.

6.5.6 Use TEACH In to Assign Safety and Warning Zones

Note: TEACH IN and draw TEACH in Zone are available only if a scanner is online.
You may use the TEACH In function to outline the space the scanner is guarding, then go back and use shapes. Or you can
use the TEACH In Area Assignment to set the fields in the detected area, up to the maximum range.
1. Click the TEACH icon to enter TEACH In mode.
TEACH In scans and displays the area surrounding the scanner. The white area is free of obstacles and can be
assigned to a Safety or Warning Zone. The gray areas contain detected obstructions.
2. Select the Safety Zone or Warning Zone in the left pane.
3. Click the TEACH In Area Assignment icon to assign the defined area to the selected zone.

6.5.7 Protecting a Vertical Area (Reference Points)

When the scanner is mounted to protect a vertical area (up and down), add Reference Points to an edge.
These reference points are positions where something will always be sensed by the scanner (the surface will always be
present). These points are used by the scanner to ensure that it has not come loose from its mounting surface and is
protecting the correct area. A minimum of three reference points must be added. A maximum of 15 reference points can be
added.
1. To add a reference point, highlight Reference Point at the bottom of the list of Zones on the left.
The reference point icon becomes live.
2. Click on the Reference Point icon on the right.
3. Click the locations of the desired Reference Points.
The maximum distance from the scanner is 5500 mm for 70 mm resolution or 3000 mm for 40 mm resolution. The
Reference Points do not have to be at the edge of the Safety Zone.

6.5.8 Connect a Scanner to a PC (Discover the Scanner)

Enter Discovery mode to have the software search the PC's network for any connected SX5s.
Attach new scanners one at a time to the LAN because they all have the same default IP Address (192.168.0.10). After new
IP addresses have been assigned, multiple units can be attached to the same network.
