HORIZONTAL APPLICATION CONFIGURATION
HORIZONTAL APPLICATION CONFIGURATION
Figure 2 - Static horizontal configuration
The device uses a horizontal protective field (the red area in the figures) to detect the
presence of an object or a person.
The Laser Sentinel will scan the environment surrounding the hazardous point to detect
approaching objects or people. If someone is detected in the safety zone (with a given
detection capability), a stopping signal is sent to the machine by the device. This signal
will stop the machine by putting the OSSDs in OFF state.
In this example a Warning Zone has been defined (yellow zone in the figure) in order to
give a preliminary warning if someone is detected, to prevent operators from acciden-
tally stopping the working process of the machine. The warning signals are sent using
non-safe outputs assigned to the area.
