Independent Detection Fields: A Use Case - Leuze electronic LBK SBV Original Operating Instructions

5 Functioning principles
In this example, detection field 1 generates a detection signal for target [A] but target [B] could not be
detected.
In the LBK Designer application, click on Settings > Advanced > Detection field dependency to set the
dependency mode of the detection fields.
5.2.6 Independent detection fields: a use case
It can be useful to set the detection fields as independent, for example, if there is a scheduled temporary
motion of an object in a detection field. An example can be a robotic arm moving from right to left within the
detection field 1 only during a specific phase of the operative cycle.
In this case, it is possible to ignore the detection signal in the detection field 1, thus avoiding unnecessary
downtime.
Evaluate the safety of the monitored area during risk assessment before deciding to ignore
the detection signal of the detection field 1.
The blind area generated by the moving robotic arm can prevent the sensor from detecting
targets in the following other detection fields for an interval of time. This time must be
considered when defining the detection distance for detection field 2.
