Configuring the safety sensor
NOTICE
OSSDs will switch off if no reflection signals are being measured!
If the safety sensor is unable to measure any reflection signals in a continuous scanning angle
of ≥ 90° for a long period of time, the safety-related switching outputs switch off. In certain appli-
cation types (e.g. in buildings with extremely large distances), the safety sensor may not be able
to measure any reflection signals. For such application types, it is possible to set or deactivate
the monitoring times.
Ä In the CONFIGURATION menu, click the Other option.
ð The OTHER dialog box opens.
Ä In the PROTECTION AGAINST MANIPULATION dialog box, define the monitoring time ac-
cording to your specific conditions.
ð If the parking position is active, there will be no manipulation monitoring.
Prerequisites:
• The safety sensor is mounted (see chapter 7 "Mounting") and connected (see chapter 8 "Electrical con-
nection") correctly.
• Dangerous process is switched off, outputs of the safety sensor are disconnected, and the system is
protected against being switched back on.
• The size of the protective field is determined on the basis of the mounting location, the calculated
safety distances and additional distances.
• The start/restart operating mode required by the application has been determined.
• The conditions for field pair changeover, if required, have been determined.
• The configuration and diagnostics software for the safety sensor is installed on the PC (see chapter 4.2
"Installing software").
NOTICE
Many safety-relevant parameters are preset for each application in the configuration and diag-
nostics software. Use these preset values where possible.
Procedure
All configuration data is defined using the configuration and diagnostics software.
To configure the safety sensor, proceed as follows:
Ä Connect the PC to the safety sensor
Ä Start the software
• Set up communication
• Determine the configuration project
Ä Configure the protective function using the project wizard
• Protective/warning field configuration
• Resolution and response time
• Start-up behavior
• Contactor monitoring
• E-stop linkage
• Field pair changeover
• Configuration of the signal outputs
Ä Save configuration project
Ä Transferring a configuration to the safety sensor
Ä Create a record document for the device configuration and protective field dimensioning. The document
must be signed by the person responsible for the configuration.
To document the configuration, you can create a PDF file of the safety configuration or save the config-
uration and settings in an *.xml file.
