involved in checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organization operating the ESPE.

Note

2.2 Applications of the device

The S300 safety laser scanner is used to protect persons and systems. It is intended to be used to monitor hazardous areas indoors.

It is not allowed to use the S300 outdoors.

The S300 cannot provide protection from parts thrown out of the machine or emitted

radiation.

The S300 complies with the requirements in the standard on the radiated emissions as

defined for class A (industrial application); the S300 is therefore only suitable for use in an industrial environment.

The device is a type 3 ESPE as defined by IEC 61496<1 and IEC 61496<3 and is therefore allowed for use with category 3 PL d controls as per EN ISO 13849<1 or SIL2 as per IEC 61508.

The S300 is suitable for:

 hazardous area protection

 hazardous point protection

 access protection

 vehicle protection (electrically powered industrial trucks)

Depending on the application, other protective devices and measures may be required in addition to the safety laser scanner.

On safety

 The notes, in particular the test notes (see chapter 9 “Commissioning” on page 99) in

these operating instructions (e.g. on use, mounting, installation or integration into the machine control) must be observed.

 Changes to the configuration of the devices can degrade the protective function. After

every change to the configuration you must therefore check the effectiveness of the

protective device. The person who makes the change is also responsible for the correct protective function of the device. When making configuration changes, please always

use the password hierarchy provided by SICK to ensure that only authorized persons make changes to the configuration. The SICK service team is available to provide assis-

tance if required.

 The tests must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qualified and

authorized personnel and must be recorded and documented to ensure that the tests can be reconstructed and retraced at any time.

 The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine where

the S300 is used. The machine operator is to be instructed in the use of the device by

qualified safety personnel and must be instructed to read the operating instructions.

 To meet the requirements of the relevant product standards (e.g. IEC 61496<1), the ex-

ternal voltage supply for the devices (SELV) must be able to bridge a brief mains failure of 20 ms. Power supplies according to EN 60204<1 satisfy this requirement. Suitable

power supplies are available as accessories from SICK (see section 13.3 “Accessories/spare parts” on page 138).

 In case of data cables more than 30 m long, as per EN 61000 either the device itself

must be earthed, or the screen on the data cable must be earthed in the immediate

vicinity of the cable entry in the system plugs.

 Enclosed with these operating instructions is a checklist for checking by the manufactu-

rer and OEM (see section 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 140). Use this checklist when checking the system that is protected with the S300.

It must be possible to transfer the dangerous state of the machine, the system or the vehicle to a safe state at any time using the OSSDs on a safety controller connected to

the S300 or to a further safety laser scanner.

 The S300 must be mounted and configured such that it detects objects as they enter

the hazardous area (see chapter 5 “Mounting” on page 56 and chapter 9 “Commissioning” on page 99).

 The safety laser scanner’s optical path must always remain clear and is not allowed to

be covered by transparent objects such as protective windows, Plexiglas, lenses etc. The

safety laser scanner’s protective function can only be ensured if the contamination measurement function is not bypassed by such measures.

time-of-flight measurement by the S300

3.2.1 Principle of operation

The S300 is an optical sensor that scans its surroundings in two dimensions using infrared

laser beams. It is used to monitor hazardous areas on machines or vehicles.

The S300 works on the principle of time-of-flight measurement. It sends out very short pulses of light (send pulses). At the same time an “electronic stopwatch” is started. When

the light hits an object, it is reflected and received by the safety laser scanner (receive pulses). From the time between sending and reception (t) the S300 calculates the distance

to the object.





In the S300 there is also a mirror rotating at constant speed that deflects the light pulses

such that they cover an arc of 270°. In this way an object can be detected in the protective field within 270°. The first beam of a scan starts at –45° relative to the back of the

safety laser scanner.

The S300 sends a pulse of light with an angular resolution of 0.5° . As a result resolu- tions between 30 mm and 150 mm can be achieved .

Due to its active scanning principle, the S300 does not require receivers or reflectors. This

has the following advantages:

 Your installation effort is lower.

 You can easily adapt the monitored area to the hazardous area on a machine.

 In comparison with contact sensors, electro-sensitive scanning is nearly wear-free.

Product description

3.2.2 Field set comprising of protective field and warning field(s)

Protective fields and warning fields form the so-called field set. You can configure these field sets with the aid of the CDS. The fields can be configured as circular, rectangular or of

rbitrary shape. If the area to be monitored changes, then you can re-configure the S300

a in software without additional mounting effort.

Depending on the variant used (see section 3.3.2 “Functions of the S300 variants” on page 20), you can define up to 16 field sets and save these in the safety laser scanner. In

this way you can switch to a different field set in case of a change in the monitoring situation (see section 3.2.3 “Monitoring cases” on page 19).

You can configure field sets comprising one protective field and one or two warning fields.

The protective field secures the hazardous area on a machine or vehicle. As soon as the

safety laser scanner detects an object in the protective field, the S300 switches the OSSDs to the off status and thus initiates the shutdown of the machine or stop of the

vehicle.

protective field and two warning fields

field

Note

field 1

field 2

You can define the warning fields such that the safety laser scanner detects an object

before the actual hazardous area.

Warning field 1 can be used in particular for vehicle protection to detect an object even

before the actual hazardous area and to slowly retard the movement of the vehicle or bring it to a standstill. In this way the wear on the brakes on an AGV can be reduced. Warning

field 2 can also be used to trigger a warning signal.

A warning field on all S300 variants is not allowed to be used for tasks related to the

protection of people.

Contour monitoring

In addition to the protective field, the S300 can also monitor a contour (e.g. the floor in vertical applications).

WARNING

Note

Addressing of the guest

If two safety laser scanners are operated on an EFI string, then one is the host, the other the guest. If only one safety laser scanner is operated on an EFI string, then this device is

the host.

All devices involved can be unambiguously identified by the address and information can

be distributed and retrieved using bit assignment (see also Technical Description “EFI — Enhanced Function Interface”, SICK part no. 8012621).

In an EFI system with two safety laser scanners, set the address of one of the scanners to guest!

To be able to unambiguously differentiate between the devices in an EFI system, one S300

must be configured as the guest. For this purpose a jumper is wired between the connection terminals 7 and 13 (see section 6.1.1 “Pin assignment on the system plug” on

page 82).

The jumper always defines the guest device. This jumper is never allowed to be fitted on

the host device.

3.5.3 Specific features with EFI systems

Input signals

In an EFI system, the input signals for monitoring case switching are applied to the inputs

on the host or to a safety controller. The guest is connected to the host via EFI and receives from the host the input information for monitoring case switching.

Example

Monitoring case switching

In an EFI system, the host defines the number of possible monitoring cases. If an S300 is

configured as a guest with a higher level device (S3000 or higher grade S300 or sens:Control device), more monitoring cases may therefore be available depending on the

system configuration.

The S300 Advanced is used on an S300 Professional as a guest. Eight monitoring cases

are configured for the S300 Professional. On the S300 Advanced there are also eight monitoring cases available in this situation.

Internal or external OSSDs

In an EFI system you define which output signal switching device (OSSD) is switched when

there is an object in the protective field (see section 4.6 on page 39).

Restart interlock/delay

The effectiveness of a restart interlock/delay configured in the S300 is dependent on the integration of the EFI status information from the S300 in the logic of the Flexi Soft safety

controller (see section 4.7 on page 40).

3.5.4 Interoperability with sens:Control devices

The S300 safety laser scanner can be connected to the following sens:Control devices and in this way integrated into the related bus systems.

You enter the application name and the names of the safety laser scanners used in the CDS.

4.2.1 Application name

Enter a name for your application. You can enter a name with a maximum of 16

characters.

If you assign unique application names, you may “reserve” the devices for certain duties. A

machine maintenance person comparing exchanged devices with the configuration data saved in the CDS will be notified that the application name does not match. He may then

exchange these devices for those with the correct application name.

4.2.2 Name of the scanner

Enter a device name for each of the safety laser scanners in the system. You can enter names with a maximum of 8 characters.

Recommendation

Use meaningful names, e.g. “front” and “rear” for vehicle monitoring. Unique device names make the subsequent configuration steps easier (for example on allocating the

control inputs or the OSSDs).

On a host/guest system with two safety laser scanners, the device names must always be

different.

4.2.3 User data

You can enter your name in the field Name of the user. You can enter a name with a maximum of 22 characters. This is then added to the configuration protocol and in the diagnos-

4.2.4 Display direction of the 7@segment display

The depiction of numbers on the 7<segment display can be rotated by 180° with the aid of the CDS. This is useful, for example, when the S300 must be rotated by 180° owing to the

specific assembly.

If you rotate the numbers of the 7<segment display, the point in the 7<segment display

goes out.

How to determine the display direction of the 7@segment display:

 Under 7@segment display, activate the Rotated by 180° option. After the configuration

draft has been transferred to the S300, the numbers of the 7<segment display are rota-

4.4 Incremental encoder

he S300 Professional and the S300 Expert have two dual-channel dynamic control inputs

using which the possible monitoring cases can be switched as a function of the velocity.

For this purpose incremental encoders must be connected to the dynamic control inputs.

Per incremental encoder, one 0°/90° output is required so that the direction of travel can be determined.

If you want to use the inputs A and B as dynamic control inputs, select the Indicate

velocity option.

4.4.1 Pulses per cm travel that are output by the incremental encoders

The result is dependent on the number of pulses the incremental encoder supplies per

revolution, and on the ratio between the wheel on the vehicle and the friction wheel on which the incremental encoder is mounted.

How to calculate the number of pulses per centimeter:

Example:

 The wheel on a forklift truck has a diameter of 35 cm.

 The friction wheel on which the incremental encoder is mounted has a diameter of

3.5 cm.

 The incremental encoder used supplies 1000 pulses per revolution.

Circumference of the forklift truck wheel = d × [ = 35 cm × [ = 109.96 cm

One revolution of the forklift truck wheel corresponds to ten revolutions of the friction wheel and therefore 10,000 pulses from the incremental encoder.

For this information the number of pulses per centimeter of distance covered by the vehicle is:

Pulses/cm = 10,000 : 109.96 = 90.94

On configuring the incremental encoder in the CDS, you must therefore enter the rounded value “91” in Pulses per centimeter in the CDS. The user software calculates from this value the maximum velocity allowed.

4.4.2 Tolerances allowed on the dynamic inputs

As a rule the same pulse frequency is present at the dynamic inputs when a vehicle moves in a straight line. On driving around bends or in case of wear e.g. of the vehicle’s tires, the

alues at the two inputs may, however, vary.

The velocities from the two incremental encoders may only differ from each other by a

tolerance that can be configured. Deviations are allowed only for a certain time window (see Fig. 14) depending on the velocity.

The maximum percentage deviation between the two encoder velocities that can be configured is 45%. During this process the higher of the two velocities (irrespective of whether

with positive or negative sign) is used as the reference for this calculation as well as the vehicle velocity.

Exceeding the tolerance is tolerated for a certain period of time. Then the system switches to a safe state (lock-out). The period of time is dependent on the vehicle velocity. Fig. 14

shows the deviations that are tolerated and for how long.

 If the vehicle velocity is in the range between –10 cm/s and +10 cm/s, then there is no

shut down, irrespective of how long the deviation between the incremental encoders is present.

 If the vehicle velocity is between –30 and –10 cm/s or +10 and +30 cm/s, then the

maximum period of time for which a deviation is tolerated is 60 s.

 If the vehicle velocity is in the range Z–30 cm/s or M+30 cm/s, then the maximum

period of time for which a deviation is tolerated is 20 s.

 If the vehicle velocity is in the range Z–10 cm/s or M+10 cm/s, then different directions

of rotation on the incremental encoders are only tolerated for 0.4 s.

In standalone operation of an S300 use the local inputs of the S300.

The S300 Advanced has two dual-channel static control inputs A and B.

The S300 Professional and the S300 Expert have three dual-channel control inputs. Of these control inputs, the inputs A and B can be used as both static control inputs and also

dynamic control inputs.

The dual-channel control input C is formed by the Universal I/O1 and Universal I/O5

connections.

EFI system

If devices are connected together via EFI, the S300 can receive control commands from

other devices, e.g. a second S300 or Flexi Soft safety controller. Tab. 37 on page 131 shows the possible control commands of the S300.

In an EFI system you configure which device you want to use for obtaining the input information.

If the S300 is connected to a Flexi Soft safety controller, up to five dual-channel control inputs can be configured.

If the control device via which you switch the static control inputs cannot switch within 10 ms to the related input condition (e.g. due to switch bounce times), you must configure

n input delay. For the input delay choose the time in which your defined control device

a can switch to a corresponding input condition.

Also pay attention to the notes in section 5.6 “Time for monitoring case switching” on page 71.

4.5.2 Sampling for the static control inputs

If you are using static sampling, decide between complementary or 1<of<n sampling depen-

Complementary sampling

One control input comprises two connections. For correct switching one connection must be inverted in relation to the other.

4.6 OSSDs

n an EFI system you define in the CDS which output signal switching device (OSSD) is

switched when there is an object in the protective field.

 Internal OSSDs

Defines that the protective field or the protective fields switch the OSSDs on S300.

 External OSSDs

The S300 transmits the status of the field sets (protective field/warning fields) via EFI. The OSSDs on another device connected via EFI have switched.

– Connected S300 or S3000: The OSSDs on the second safety laser scanner are

switched.

– Connected safety controller (e.g. Flexi Soft): The OSSDs on the safety controller are

switched depending on its configuration.

– Connected network solution (e.g. safety remote I/O): The information is passed via the

network e.g. to an FPLC that must shutdown the dangerous state.

Do not use the OSSD bit for safety relevant functions!

If the local OSSDs on the S300 are not used, the OSSD state is always transferred as

active via EFI. In this case the OSSD bit in the Flexi Soft safety controller is not allowed to

be used for safety-related functions.

WARNING

The status of the protective fields is transmitted using EFI and can be combined in the safety controller Flexi Soft as required. The signal of the safety outputs on the Flexi Soft

safety controller is transferred, e.g., to a machine or vehicle control.

Pay attention to the logical values for the protective field status information on trans to the Flexi Soft safety controller!

The status of an evaluated protective field is logical 1 if the protective field is unoccupied,

the status is logical 0 if the protective field is infringed (see section 12.5 “EFI status information and control commands” on page 129). The status of a protective field that is

not evaluated is always logical 1.

4.6.1 External device monitoring (EDM)

The EDM checks if the contactors actually de-energize when the protective device is

tripped. If you activate external device monitoring, then the S300 checks the contactors after each interruption of the protective field and prior to the machine restart. The EDM

can so identify if one of the contactors has welded, for instance. In this case the external device monitoring places the system in a safe operational state and the OSSDs are not

switched back to the ON state.

The table shows how the S300 reacts if the external device monitoring detects a contactor

malfunction:

4.7 Restart

You can configure the restart behavior of the S300 as follows:

 without restart interlock

 with restart delay

 with restart interlock

You can configure the type of restart in the CDS.

It is imperative that you configure the S300 with restart interlock if the protective field can be left to approach the hazardous point or if a person cannot be detected at every point in the hazardous area for the S300!

During the assessment, pay attention to whether the protective field can be left in the

direction of the hazardous point, to areas that are unprotected due to the mounting and the unprotected near range of the S300 (see section 5.5 “Methods of preventing unpro-

tected areas” on page 69).

Restart behavior on the integration of the S300 into a Flexi Soft safety controller

The effectiveness of a restart interlock/delay configured in the S300 is dependent on the

integration of the EFI status information from the S300 in the logic of the Flexi Soft safety controller.

 The internal restart interlock/delay acts on the OSSD of the S300. If the status informa-

tion on the OSSDs is used in the Flexi Soft safety controller, then the restart interlock/

delay also acts on the Flexi Soft safety controller.

 If the status information on the protective fields is used in the Flexi Soft safety controller,

the restart interlock/delay does not affect the Flexi Soft safety controller (see section 12.5 “EFI status information and control commands” on page 129). In this case you

must realize a restart interlock/delay in the Flexi Soft safety controller.

Configuration of the S300 without restart interlock

After the OSSDs on the S300 have been switched to the OFF state due to an object in the protective field, the OSSDs are re-enabled again immediately when there is no longer an

object in the active protective field.

This configuration is only allowed …

 if an external restart interlock is realized on the machine controller

 if the protective field cannot be left in the direction of the hazardous point and if people

can be detected by the S300 at every point in the hazardous area!

Restart delay for mobile applications

In mobile applications you can configure a restart delay from 2 to 60 seconds on the

S300. The OSSDs on the S300 switch to the ON state if there is no object in the protective field for the duration given.

Note

Do not confuse the restart interlock with the starting interlock on the machine. The starting

The OSSDs on the S300 switch to the OFF state to initiate a machine  or vehicle stop as soon as there is an object in the protective field . They do not switch to the ON state ,

even if there is no longer an object in the protective field. The OSSDs only switch to the ON state if the operator operates the control switch for restart or reset.

Place the control switch for restart or reset outside the hazardous area in a place where it can clearly be seen from the hazardous area!

Place the control switch for restart or reset outside the hazardous area such that it cannot be operated by a person in the hazardous area. Ensure that the person who operates the

Reset

The reset function is often also called “preparation for restart”. In these operating instructions the term reset is used.

If you want to activate the restart interlock on the S300 (internal) and also a restart inter-

lock on the machine (external), then each restart interlock has its own control switch.

4.10.2 Monitoring case switching via velocity information

When switching the monitoring cases using dynamic control inputs, please note the following points:

WARNING

 Ensure that the control — using dynamic control inputs (incremental encoder inputs) —

provides switching between the monitoring cases in the correct time frame. Note that at the time of the switching there may be a person in the protective field. Only by means of

switching in the correct time frame (i.e. before the hazard occurs at this point for the person) is protection provided (see section 5.6 “Time for monitoring case switching” on

page 71).

 Ensure that only one safety laser scanner is connected to an incremental encoder.

 Two incremental encoders are necessary to detect a possible fault in one encoder.

 It is imperative you lay the connecting cables to the incremental encoders separately.

Prerequisites

For dynamic sampling using incremental encoders, configure …

 the Use velocity option (see section 4.4 “Incremental encoder” on page 35).

 for each monitoring case the velocity range for switching to the monitoring case.

Note

Example:

 Monitoring case 1 (standstill) –10 … +10 cm/s

 Monitoring case 2 (forward movement 1) 11 … 50 cm/s

 Monitoring case 3 (forward movement 2) 51 … 100 cm/s

 Monitoring case 4 (forward movement 3) 101 … 200 cm/s

During the configuration of the monitoring cases in the CDS, you must cover all possible or allowed velocities of the vehicle. An undefined velocity will result in the switching of the

OSSDs to the OFF state (useful e.g. for safe maximum velocity monitoring on vehicles).

The “Speed valid” status information is relevant for safety!

Ensure that the Speed valid input signal is connected to the Speed valid output signal.

How to configure the safety laser scanners in the CDS:

 On the Incremental encoder tab for the S300 Expert to which the incremental encoders

are connected, select the Indicate velocity option.

All safety laser scanners, also the sending devices, must use these velocity signals via EFI.

Flexi Soft CPU1.

 Then, select on all safety laser scanners on the Inputs tab the Use velocity option.

4.10.4 Multiple sampling

If multiple sampling is set, an object must be scanned several times before the S300

switches its OSSDs to the OFF state. In this way you can reduce the probability that insects, welding sparks or other particles result in the shutdown of the system.

If a multiple sampling of 3 is configured, for instance, an object must be detected in the protective field three times in succession before the S300 switches the OSSDs to the OFF

state.

You can configure the multiple sampling in the CDS. You can set individual multiple samp-

ling for each monitoring case.

4.10.5 Checking of the monitoring case switching

To check the switching between monitoring cases, configure a series of monitoring cases. Here you can define either an arbitrary sequence, a unique sequence, or two alternative

sequences.

 Arbitrary sequence: It is allowed to switch from one monitoring case to any other defined

monitoring case.

 Unique sequence: It is only allowed to switch from a monitoring case to another specifi-

cally defined monitoring case.

 Alternative sequence: It is allowed to switch from a monitoring case to one of two specifi-

cally defined monitoring cases.

Use the monitoring of the monitoring case switching as an additional check on your con-

trol. For example, in this way deviations of a vehicle from a corridor or a system from the stipulated production process can be detected.

Arbitrary sequence Unique sequence Alternative sequence

You can configure the sequence of monitoring cases in the CDS.

4.10.6 Park/stand-by mode

If, in mobile applications, vehicles are not moved for a time (e.g. for battery charging), the OSSDs can be switched to the OFF state and the laser on the S300 can be switched off. In

this way the power consumption of the device is reduced.

In this way you also prevent the safety laser scanners from dazzling each other and enter-

ing an error condition.

Note

Configurable functions

The function can be realized with the aid of the park mode or the stand-by mode.

If, in an EFI system, you only use the OSSDs on one safety laser scanner (common OSSDs),

hen the OSSDs on this safety laser scanner will switch to the OFF state as soon as either

of the two safety laser scanners is switched to the park/stand-by mode. If, on the other hand, you use the OSSDs on both safety laser scanners (separate OSSDs), then only the

OSSDs on the safety laser scanner that is switched to park/stand-by mode will switch to the OFF state.

Park mode

To switch to the park mode, configure a monitoring case for which the park mode is

defined in the CDS.

The S300 needs the response time resulting from the configuration to switch from the

park mode to another monitoring case.

Stand-by mode

A dedicated STBY single-channel input is provided for switching to the stand-by mode (see section 6.1.1 “Pin assignment on the system plug” on page 82).

Alternatively it is also possible to switch to the stand-by mode via EFI (see section 12.5 “EFI status information and control commands” on page 129).

A monitoring case is not occupied by the stand-by mode.

4.11 Measured data output

For the measured data output configure the baud rate of the interface.

You configure whether the Silent time is set automatically to 5000 ms or you configure an individual shorter Silent time between 60 and 4980 ms. The silent time defines the time, after sending the silent byte, for which the continuous output of data can be interrupted to

make it possible to access to the interface. In the default delivery status, the Silent time is set to 5000 ms.

With the aid of the Send mode option you can configure whether the measured dataoutput is to be triggered as a Continuous data output or Data output only on request.

You will find further details on this topic in the “Telegram Listing Standard” documentation (part no. 9090807).

CMS functionality on the S300 Expert

On the S300 Expert you can configure additional parameters for the CMS functionality.

With the aid of the Send mode option you can configure whether the measured data output is to be triggered as a Continuous data output, Data output only on request or by an Internal event.

If you have selected Internal event, then you must define this event.

With Continuous data output you must select which data are to be output.

If you also activate Measured data output, then you can select whether the measured data are to be output together with the I/O data in one telegram or in two separate telegrams.

For the measured data output you define one to five segments (which are defined by start and end angles).

You will find further details on this topic in the “Telegram Listing CMS” documentation (part no. 9090806).

Mounting

5 Mounting

his chapter describes the preparation and completion of the mounting of the S300 safety

T laser scanner.

Mounting requires four steps:

 definition of the application and the necessary mounting location for the safety laser

scanner

 calculation of the protective field sizes and minimum distances (see EN ISO 13855)

 definition of the switching point between monitoring cases

 mounting the safety laser scanner with or without mounting kits

No protective function without sufficient minimum distance!



WARNING

Only if you configure the protective field such that there is an adequate minimum distance

to the hazardous area, is protection by the S300 ensured.

Notes

 Mount the S300 in a dry place and protect the device from dirt and damage.

 Avoid the installation of the S300 in the vicinity of strong electric fields. These can, e.g.,

be produced by welding cables, induction cables in the immediate vicinity and also by

mobile telephones operated nearby.

 Ensure that there are no obstacles in the area to be monitored in the field of view of the

S300 that could cause interference or shadowing. Such shadowed areas cannot be monitored by the S300. If there are unavoidable shadowed areas, check whether there

is a risk. Take additional safety precautions as necessary.

 Keep the area to be monitored free of smoke, fog, steam or other forms of air impurities.

There must not be any condensation on the light output window. Otherwise the function of the S300 may be impaired and incorrect switching may occur.

 Avoid placing highly reflective objects in the scan plane of the S300. Examples: Retro-

reflectors can affect the measurement results of the S300. Highly reflective objects

within the protective field can blank part of the area to be monitored in certain circumstances.

 Mount the S300 such that it is not dazzled by incident sunlight. Do not position strobos-

copic and fluorescent lights or other strong light sources directly in the scan plane as

these may affect the S300 in specific circumstances.

 Mark the protective field on the floor, if this is reasonable for the application (see

IEC 61496<1, chapter 7).

The following steps are necessary after mounting:

 completing the electrical connections (chapter 6 “Electrical installation”)

 configuration of the protective field (chapter 8 “Configuration”)

Once you have defined the protective field size, mark the boundaries of the protective field on the floor. In this way you will make the protective field boundaries visible for the opera-

tor and ease subsequent testing of the protective function.

5.1.1 Protective field size

The protective field must be so configured that a minimum distance (S) to the hazardous area is maintained. This safety distance ensures that the hazardous point can only be

reached after the dangerous state of the machine has been completely stopped.

If you are using an S300 Advanced, Professional or Expert, you can define several moni-

toring cases with different protective fields. In such a case you must calculate the protective field size for all protective fields used.

You can operate the S300 in stationary horizontal operation with 30, 40, 50 or 70 mm resolution. The maximum protective field range for the S300 is given by the resolution.

Ensure that a human leg can be detected with 70 mm resolution!

As per EN ISO 13855, mount the scan planes for horizontal stationary applications with 70 mm resolution at least 300 mm above the floor (see “Height of the scan plane at 70

mm resolution” on page 60).

5.4.1 Protective field length

You must configure the protective field such that a minimum distance to the vehicle is maintained. This ensures that a vehicle monitored by the S300 comes to a stop before a

erson or object is reached.

If you are using an S300 Advanced, Professional or Expert, you can define several moni-

toring cases with different protective fields. You can switch these using static control inputs or on the S300 Professional and Expert variants also dynamically.

For dynamic switching, the vehicle velocity is determined by means of incremental encoders connected to the S300 Professional or Expert. S300 Professional and Expert can

therefore switch the protective fields as a function of the velocity. In such an application, the protective field sizes (in particular the protective field length) must be calculated for all

velocities.

5.6 Time for monitoring case switching

dangerous state there is a further safety relevant aspect that you must address.

Set the timing for the switching such that the S300 already detects a person in the

protective field with an adequate minimum distance before the dangerous state occurs!

Note that at the time of the switching there may be a person in the protective field. Only by means of switching in the correct time frame (i.e. before the hazard occurs at this point for

the person) is protection provided.

If you switch the controller within 10 ms, the protective field selected is available within

the basic response time of the S300. For this reason you can initiate the switching at the time at which you actually want to switch from one monitoring case to the other.

However, you must advance the timing of the switching if you …

The system plug pin assignments vary depending on the S300 variant.

Notes

 If the cable gland/blanking plug is missing or not tightened, or if fixing screws are

missing or not tightened on the system plug, the IP 65 enclosure rating is not met.

 All inputs and outputs on the S300 are to be used only in the context specified.

Notes

Wiring in accordance with EMC regulations

The quality of the shield is essentially dependent on the quality of the connection of the

screen. In principle the best screening action can only be achieved with the connection of the screen at both ends using large area connections.

 To connect the screen on the S300 use the EMC cable gland M12 (part no. 5308757).

 Use similar cable glands on the incremental encoders.

 If it is not possible to connect the screen via threaded fittings (e.g. on bus nodes),

connect the screen physically close, e.g. to a control cabinet chassis using a metal

clamp.

 If you want to operate two safety laser scanners in a system (communication via EFI),

then the same earthing method must be used for both safety laser scanners.

 If there is a PE in an installation, it can be used for the connection of the FE. However a

functional earth connection (FE) is never allowed to be used as a PE!

Functional earth

To achieve the specified EMC safety, the functional earth FE must be connected (e.g. to the vehicle’s or system’s central earth star point).

Incremental encoder specification

Never supply both incremental encoders using one supply cable!

 The connection cables for the incremental encoders must each be in a separate plastic-

sheathed cable as otherwise a cable break could cause an error that could remain undetected.

 The power supply to the two incremental encoders must be independent. For this pur-

pose use the connection terminals provided, 19 and 20 as well as 21 and 22.

 Each incremental encoder output (for 0° or 90°) is only allowed to be connected to one

control input, e.g. A1/B1 or A2/B2.

Both incremental encoders must meet the following specifications:

 two-channel rotary encoder with 90° phase offset

 supply voltage: 24 V DC

 outputs: push/pull outputs

 enclosure rating IP 54 or better

WARNING

Control inputs

You can only connect the input signals to one safety laser scanner. Distributed connection

of the input signals to two safety laser scanners is not possible.

EFI systems

Connect EFI with EFI

 Always use screened twisted pair cables!

 If the length of the cable to the safety laser scanner is more than 30 m, the shield is to

be connected as close as possible to the device.

In an EFI system with two safety laser scanners, set the address of one of the scanners to guest!

To differentiate unambiguously between the host and guest device in an EFI system, one S300 must be configured as the guest. For this purpose a jumper is wired between the

connection terminals 7 (A1/INC1_0) and 13 (UNI-I/O3/ERR/WEAK).

The jumper always defines the guest device. This jumper is never allowed to be fitted on

the host device.

(see section 6.3 “Pre-assembled system plugs” on page 86 and section 13.3.2 “System plug S300” on page 136).

The length of the spare cable should be such that the system plug cannot inadvertently be plugged into a neighboring S300!

From experience 20 to 30 cm spare cable at the safety laser scanner have proven to be adequate. In this way you avoid the inadvertent connection of the system plug to a neigh-

boring S300 and operation of an S300 with an incorrect configuration. The spare cable enables you to change the S300 with ease if necessary.

Using incremental encoders the S300 Professional acquires the velocity of the vehicle via

its dynamic control inputs. For different velocities, various field sets with protective fields and warning fields of varying sizes are configured in the S300. The field sets are switched

dynamically using the vehicle velocity.

Using incremental encoders the host acquires the velocity and the direction of the vehicle

via its dynamic control inputs. Various field sets of different sizes are configured in the S300 for the different velocities. The field sets are switched dynamically using the vehicle

velocity.

The guest receives the incremental encoder values from the host over the EFI interface. It

monitors the areas for the second direction of travel as a function of the velocity. As soon as there is an object in the protective field, it switches the OSSDs on the host to the OFF

state over the EFI.

7.3 Connection diagrams

Only use relays/contacts with positively guided contacts. The protection elements



connected in parallel with the relays/contactors are used for arc-suppression.

 Ensure that there is adequate arc-suppression at the relays/contactors. Take into

account that arc-suppressors may lengthen the response time.

 The arc-suppressors must be in parallel with the relays/contactors (not across the

contacts).

 If you want to operate two safety laser scanners in a system (communication via EFI),

then the same earthing method must be used for both safety laser scanners.

Sketch key

 k1 and k2 or k3 and k4 = output circuits

These contacts are to be connected to the controller such that, with the output circuit

open, the dangerous state is disabled. For categories 3 and 4 according to EN ISO 13849<1, the integration must be dual-channel (x/y paths). Observe the

maximum values for the loading of the outputs (see section 12.4 “Data sheet” on page 120).

 FE = functional earth

To achieve the specified EMC safety, the functional earth (FE) must be connected (e.g. to

the vehicle’s or system’s central earth star point).

 H2 = sensor for Error/contamination

9.1 Initial commissioning

Commissioning requires a thorough check by qualified safety personnel!



WARNING

Before you operate a system protected by the S300 safety laser scanner for the first time, make sure that the system is first checked and released by qualified safety personnel. The

result of the test must be documented. Please pay attention to the notes in chapter 2 “On safety” on page 10.

 Prior to releasing the machine, check whether the access to the hazardous area or the

hazardous point is completely monitored by the protective devices. Following approval of

the machine also check at regular intervals (e.g. in the morning at the start of work) whether the S300 correctly switches the OSSDs to the OFF state as soon as there is an

object in the protective field. This test should be performed along all protective field boundaries as per the specific regulations for the application (see section 9.2 “Test

notes” on page 100).

Commissioning

9.2 Test notes

9.2.1 Pre-commissioning tests

Check the protective device as described below and in accordance with the applicable standards and regulations.

Ensure that you do not place anybody at risk during initial commissioning of the

achine!



WARNING

Recommendation

Note

lways expect that the machine, system or the protective device does not yet behave as

A you have planned.

 Ensure that there are no persons in the hazardous area during initial commissioning.

 Check the effectiveness of the protective device mounted to the machine, using all

selectable operating modes as specified in the checklist in the annex (see section 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 140).

 Ensure that the operating personnel of the machine protected by the safety laser scanner

are correctly instructed by qualified safety personnel before being allowed to operate the

machine. Instructing the operating personnel is the responsibility of the machine owner.

 Ensure that the information label Important information, which is included with the

safety laser scanner on delivery, is affixed to the machine in a place where it is clearly visible for the operators. Ensure that the operators have the possibility to perform this

daily check correctly.

 The annex to this document includes a checklist for review by the manufacturer and

OEM. Use this checklist as a reference before commissioning the system for the first time (see section 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 140).

 Document the adjustment of the safety laser scanner and the results of the testing

during initial commissioning in a traceable manner. For this purpose also print out the

complete configuration of the safety laser scanner (including protective field shapes) and include these with the documentation.

 Use the Create development dump... function in the CDS (right click on the COM inter-

face to which the safety laser scanner is connected). You can keep these data as a

backup and in this way document the state during initial commissioning at any time.

Your SICK representative will be pleased to provide you with advice on initial commis-

sioning.

9.2.2 Regular inspection of the protective device by qualified safety personnel

 Check the system following the inspection intervals specified in the national rules and

regulations. This procedure ensures that any changes on the machine or manipulations

of the protective device after the initial commissioning are detected.

 If major changes have been made to the machine or the protective device, or if the

safety laser scanner has been modified or repaired, check the system again as per the checklist in the annex (see section 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 140).
