Fields and measuring range of the FLSC The monitoring range of the sensor consists of a protectivefield and a warning field. You can use the applied software todefine the two fields and store them in the memory.The
’Viewed’ area(e.g. plant wall)measuring lengthwarning fieldprotective field4 m max.protectedareaapprox 15 mmax.warning field range protective field protects the hazardous area of a machineor vehicle. As soon as the sensor detects an object in the pro- tective field, it deactivates the safety outputs, thereby switchingoff the machinery or stopping the vehicle.This is a safety function. Its safety integrity corresponds to Cat. 3as per EN 954-1: The test basis is Type 3 as per EN 61496-1You can define the warning field such that the sensor detectson object before it enters the actual hazardous area, and trig- gers an alarm signal, for example.Independent of its evaluation of the protective and warningfields, the sensor continually scans its surroundings for addi-tional measuring tasks, such as to navigate a DTS or measurecontours.
