This manual explains how to set up an Omron OS32C safety laser scanner with any Omron TM collaborative
robot via Omron G9SE-221-T05 safety relay, using the OS32C Configuration Tool software.
For detailed information other aspects of using a TM robot, including but not limited to its hardware installation,
TMflow software, and general safety information, please refer to their respective manuals and quick start
guides.
This manual covers the simplest setting, 2 zones.
About Using the OS32C Safety Laser Scanner
Always take into account the following points when using the OS32C:
Make sure OS32C is handled by a "Responsible Person" who is well aware of and familiar with the machine to be
installed. The term "Responsible Person" used means the person qualified, authorized, and responsible to
secure "safety" in each process of the design, installation, operation, maintenance services, and disposition of
the machine. It is assumed that the OS32C will be used properly according to the installation environment,
performance and function of the machine. A Responsible Person should conduct a risk assessment of the
machine and determine the suitability of this product before installation. Read this guide and “Safety Laser
Scanner OS32C Series User’s Manual” thoroughly and understand its contents.
2. Related Manuals
To ensure system safety, make sure to always read the information provided in all safety precautions and
precautions for safe use of manuals for each device that is used in the system.
Gather the necessary equipment as follows, along with a laptop installed with TMflow and OS32C Configuration
Tool.
Set up the TM robot as you normally would according to the Hardware Installation Manual. Be sure to turn the
switch off at the back of the Control Box while you connect the laser scanner and relay.
2.1. Safety Dual Channels on the TM Control Box
The dual channels of the E-Stop, Safeguard A, or Safeguard B connect to the relay. The relay connectors are
shown in Fig. A-1 in Appendix A. 13/14 and 23/24 react instantaneously, while 37/28 and 47/48 has an off-delay.
Refer to the following sections to understand the differences between E-Stop, Safeguard A, and Safeguard B. A
photo of these connectors are shown in Fig. A-2 in Appendix A.
2.1.1. E-Stop
When E-Stop (Emergency Stop) is triggered (opened),
• The robot will stop movement within 610 ms
• The system will lower the upper limit of the total drive current from 20 to 3 A
• Category 1 safety function is triggered
2.1.2. Safeguard A
When Safeguard A is triggered (opened), the system goes into the Safeguard Pause state. For example, if an
object crosses a safety curtain that is connected to Safeguard A, then the system will:
1. Come to a controlled stop with power still going to the machine actuators.
2. Pause the project.
2.1.3. Safeguard B
When Safeguard B is triggered, the system goes into the Safeguard Collaborative mode. For example, if a person
steps onto a safety mat that is connected to Safeguard B, then the system will enter a collaborative mode
Next, connect power and ground to the relay, and set up an auto reset by connecting T31 and T33 to each other
and connecting power to T32. Refer to Figs. A-1 and A-2 in Appendix A for the connection points.
2.3. OS32C Laser Scanner Connections
Finally, connect the power, ground, and signals to and from the laser scanner. Refer to Figs. A-1 through A-3 in
Appendix A for the connection points.
2. Connect your laptop to the OS32C scanner using the scanner’s Ethernet cable.
3. Set your laptop’s IP on DHCP. To do this, follow these steps.
a. Click the Windows icon, then type “Change Ethernet settings” and press Enter.
b. Click “Change adapter options” on the right-hand column.
c. Double click on the Ethernet icon that the cable is connected to.
d. Click the Properties button.
e. In the list, scroll down to “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and highlight it.
f. Click the Properties button.
g. Click “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”.
h. Click OK to close all windows.
4. Turn off all other wireless network cards such as your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. To do this, follow these
steps.
a. Click the Windows icon, then type “Change Wi-Fi settings”.
b. Turn the Wi-Fi button off.
c. Click the Windows icon, then type “Change Bluetooth and other devices settings”.
d. Turn the Bluetooth button off.
5. Click the Windows icon, type “Command Prompt”, and when the new window opens, type “ipconfig”. It
displays the IPv4 address.
.
The address shown above in the example will likely not be the same address you will see in your setup.
6. Open OS32C Configuration Tool.
7. Wait for about a minute or two to read the IP addresses of the laptop and scanner.
4. Go to Configuration > Send to Sensor > Entire Configuration.
5. When prompted, register your settings to your device, and print your safety checksum and keep it for
future reference.
6. Check that the scanner clicks when there is an object in its safety zone, and also check that the TM is
responding correctly according to which safety inputs the safety relay is connected to.
