Brief Description and Functional Principle of the SIMATIC FS600 Laser
Scanner
The SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner is an optical distance sensor that takes two-
dimensional measurements. It could also be referred to as an optical area radar device.
The sensor uses a rotating deflecting unit to periodically emit light pulses within a
working range of 190°.
If these pulses strike a person or an obstacle, the reflected light is received and
evaluated by the SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner. The scanner calculates the precise
coordinates of the person or object based on the travel time of the reflected light and the
current angle of the deflecting unit. If the person or obstacle is within the bounds of a
previously defined area called a detection zone, a safety-oriented switching function is
performed. This switching function causes the semiconductor outputs to be switched off.
The safety-oriented switching function cannot be reset until the detection zone is clear.
Depending on the operating mode, the reset can be initiated either automatically or
manually.
