3.1Setup and function
The safety laser scanner is an electro-sensitive protective device (ESPE), which twodimensionall
The safety laser scanner forms a protective field using the invisible laser beams. This
protective field protects the hazardous area and enables hazardous point protection,
access protection or hazardous area protection. As soon as an object is situated in the
protective field, the safety laser scanner signals the detection by means of a signal
change at the safety output (OSSD for example). The machine or its control must safely
analyze the signals (for example using a safe control or safety relays) and stop the dan‐
gerous state.
The safety laser scanner operates on the principle of time-of-flight measurement. It
emits light pulses in regular, very short intervals. If the light strikes an object, it is
reflected. The safety laser scanner receives the reflected light. The safety laser scanner
calculates the distance to the object based on the time interval between the moment of
transmission and moment of receipt (∆t).

Scan cycle time and resolution
T
he time that the mirror requires for one rotation is called the scan cycle time. The
number of light pulses per unit time is constant. A change in the scan cycle time also
changes the number of light pulses per mirror rotation. This results in different angular
resolutions. The range for a given object resolution changes with the angular resolution.
The object resolution indicates the minimum size that an object must be to allow it to
be detected safely. Also, different response times result from a change to the scan
cycle time.
Slightly different scan cycle times can be used to minimize mutual interference in
neighboring safety laser scanners.
The resolution in protective fields can be set between 30 mm and 200 mm, according
to the intended purpose.
Geometry of the scan plane
T
he laser beams emitted cover a sector of a circle, so an object can be detected in an
area of up to 275°.
The sector of a circle covered ranges from –47.5° to 227.5°, where 90° denotes the
axis of the safety laser scanner from the back to the front. When viewing the safety
laser scanner from above, the direction of rotation of the mirror and the deflected light
pulses is counterclockwise, see figure 3.

Protective field
T
he protective field protects the hazardous area of a machine or vehicle. As soon as the
electro-sensitive protective device detects an object in the protective field, it switches
the associated safety outputs to the OFF state. This signal can be passed to controllers
resulting in the dangerous state coming to an end, e.g. to stop the machine or the vehi‐
cle.
18
Figure 6: Protective field, shown in red in this document
Reference contour field
T
he reference contour field monitors a contour of the environment. The safety laser
scanner switches all safety outputs to the OFF state if a contour does not match the set
parameters, because, for example, the mounting situation of the safety laser scanner
were changed.
National and international standards require or recommend that a reference contour is
monitored, if the safety laser scanner is used in vertical operation for hazardous point
protection or for access protection.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 3
The reference contour field detects unintentional and intentional changes to the posi‐
t
ion or alignment of the safety laser scanner. Unintentional changes may be caused by
vibrations for example. An example of an intentional change is deliberate tampering to
disable the safety laser scanner’s functionality.
Figure 7: Reference contour field, shown in blue-green in this document
Contour detection field
T
he contour detection field monitors a contour of the environment. The safety laser
scanner switches the associated safety outputs to the OFF state if a contour does not
match the set parameters, because, for example, a door or flap is open.
The contour detection field is used for detecting changes in the environment and only
switches the outputs in the current monitoring case. By contrast, the reference contour
field is used for detecting changes at the safety laser scanner and switches all safety
outputs.
Warning field
T
he warning field monitors larger areas than the protective field. Simple switching func‐
tions can be triggered with the warning field, e.g. a warning light or an acoustic signal
can be triggered if a person approaches, even before the person enters the protective
field.
The warning field must not be used for safety-relevant tasks.

3.2.7Field set
A field set consists of one or more fields. The fields in a field set are monitored simulta‐
neousl
y.
A field set can contain various types of field.
A typical application is the use of a protective field with one or more warning fields: if a
vehicle approaches a person, a warning field triggers an optical or acoustic signal. If the
person does not react to this and the vehicle continues to approach, the safety laser
scanner detects an object in the protective field and switches the associated safety out‐
puts to the OFF state. The vehicle stops before it reaches the person.

3.2.8Monitoring case
A monitoring case signals the machine status to the safety laser scanner. The safety
la
therefore a particular machine status.
If a machine, e.g., has various operational statuses, a monitoring case can be assigned
to each operational status. The safety laser scanner receives a defined signal for the
current operational status via the safety-related network. If there is a change of signal,
the safety laser scanner switches from one monitoring case to the monitoring case that
is assigned to the new signal (as well as the new operational status). Generally, one
field set is assigned to each monitoring case.

3.2.9Simultaneous monitoring
The safety laser scanner can monitor several field sets in one monitoring case (e.g. haz‐
ar
dous area to the left and hazardous area to the right). The field sets can affect differ‐
ent safety outputs in variants with several safety outputs.
For example, they can protect 2 machines with only one safety laser scanner.
In order to configure simultaneous monitoring, assign several field sets to a monitoring
case in Safety Designer, see "Assigning field sets", page 108.

Hazardous area protection
In ha
zardous area protection, people are detected if they stay in a defined area.
This type of protective device is suitable for machines, where it is possible to see a haz‐
ardous area completely from the reset pushbutton. When the hazardous area is
entered, a stop signal is triggered and starting is prevented.

reflective objects are in the protective field.
The safety laser scanner must be affixed so that no small objects (e.g. cables) are
•
in the protective field, even if the safety outputs do not switch to the OFF state as a
result.
The safety laser scanner must be affixed so that no obstacles disrupt the safety
•
laser scanner’s field of view. Take additional protective measures if a risk arises
due to unavoidable obstacles.
If people can stay between the protective device and the hazardous point without
•
being detected, check if additional protective measures (e.g. restart interlock) are
required.
Reaching under, over and around, crawling beneath and stepping over the safety
•
laser scanner, as well as moving it, must be prevented.

NOTE
ertain optical and electromagnetic ambient conditions can affect the safety laser

scanner. This may impair the machine’s availability. That is to say, the safety laser scan‐
ner switches the machine off, although no people are located in the protective field.
Take note of the following for a high level of availability:
Avoid having strong electric fields in the vicinity of the safety laser scanner. These

4.3.1Protection against interference from systems in close proximity to each other
A safety laser scanner can be influenced by the beams from a different laser source in
close proximity to it, e.g. by another laser scanner. This may impair the machine’s avail‐
ability. That is to say, the affected safety laser scanner switches the machine off,
although no people are situated in the protective field.
You can use the following measures to increase the availability:
The safety laser scanner has a function for interference protection. The scan cycle
•
time is adjusted in small increments. You can increase the availability by choosing
different modes for interference protection in adjacent safety laser scanners, see
"Additional interference protection", page 93.
Higher multiple sampling reduces the likelihood of a laser source influencing the
•
safety laser scanner. You can increase the availability by setting multiple sampling
to the highest value permitted in your application, while taking minimum distances
into account, see "Multiple sampling", page 91.
You can further increase the availability by choosing a suitable mounting method,
•
see "Mounting methods for protection from interference from systems in close
proximity", page 189.
You can check the safety laser scanner’s beam path using the Scanfinder LS-80L (part
no. 6020756).
NOTE
Y
ou must comply with the standard ISO 13855 when choosing the mounting method.

4.3.2Preventing unprotected areas
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of non-
observance.
Mount the safety laser scanner so that people cannot enter unsecured areas. Take one
or more of the measures described below as required:
Attach deflector plates to prevent anyone standing behind.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner in an undercut.
b
Mount the safety laser scanner in the paneling of the machine or vehicle.
b
Mount a frame to prevent access to the area.
b
Unsecured areas behind the safety laser scanner
epending on the mounting situation, areas may result, which cannot be detected by
D
the safety laser scanner.
The undetected areas become larger if the safety laser scanner is mounted using a
mounting kit.

4.3.3Response time of the safety laser scanner
The safety laser scanner’s response time must be taken into account, among other
t
hings, so that the safety laser scanner can be positioned in a suitable location and the
protective fields can be sized correctly.
The response times are specified in the technical data, see "Response times",
page 155.
The response time of the safety laser scanner resulting from current settings is shown
in Safety Designer.
4.3.4Reference contour monitoring
Reference contour field
T
he reference contour field monitors a contour of the environment. The safety laser
scanner switches all safety outputs to the OFF state if a contour does not match the set
parameters, because, for example, the mounting situation of the safety laser scanner
were changed.
National and international standards require or recommend that a reference contour is
monitored, if the safety laser scanner is used in vertical operation for hazardous point
protection or for access protection.
30
The reference contour field detects unintentional and intentional changes to the posi‐
tion or alignment of the safety laser scanner. Unintentional changes may be caused by
vibrations for example. An example of an intentional change is deliberate tampering to
disable the safety laser scanner’s functionality.
Vertical operation
N
ational and international standards require or recommend that a reference contour is
monitored, if the angle between access direction and scan plane exceeds +30°.
