2 On safety
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the system operators.
Please read this chapter carefully before working with the S300 Mini or with the
machine protected by the S300 Mini.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
The S300 Mini safety laser scanner must be installed, connected, commissioned and
serviced only by qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined as
persons who
due to their specialist training and experience have adequate knowledge of the power-
driven equipment to be checked
and
have been instructed by the responsible machine owner in the operation of the machine
and the current valid safety guidelines
and
are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and safety regulations, direc-
tives and generally recognized engineering practice (e.g. DIN standards, VDE stipula-
tions, engineering regulations from other EC member states) that they can assess the
work safety aspects of the power-driven equipment
and
have access to these operating instructions and have read them.
As a rule these are qualified safety personnel from the ESPE manufacturer or also those
persons who have been appropriately trained at the ESPE manufacturer, are primarily
involved in checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organization operating the
ESPE.
Note
2.2 Applications of the device
The S300 Mini 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 Mini outdoors.
The S300 Mini cannot provide protection from parts thrown out of the machine or emitted
radiation.
The S300 Mini complies with the requirements in the standard on the radiated emissions
as defined for class A (industrial application); the S300 Mini is therefore only suitable for
use in an industrial environment.
The device is a type 3 ESPE as defined by EN 61496<1 and CLC/TS 61496<3 and is
therefore allowed for use with category 3 PL d controls as per EN ISO 13849<1 or SIL2 as
per IEC 61508.
The S300 Mini 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
S300 Mini
The notes, in particular the test notes (see chapter 9 “Commissioning” on page 92) 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
assistance 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 Mini 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. EN 61496<1), the
external voltage supply for the devices must be able to bridge a brief mains failure of 20
ms. Power supplies according to EN 60204<1 satisfy this requirement. Suitable power
supplies are available as accessories from SICK (see section 13.3 “Accessories/spare
parts” on page 123).
Enclosed with these operating instructions is a checklist for checking by the manufac-
turer and OEM (see section 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 126). Use

3.2 Function
The S300 Mini safety laser scanner operates correctly as a protective device only if the
following conditions are met:
The control of the machine, system or vehicle must be electrical.
It must be possible to transfer the dangerous machine, system or vehicle state to a safe
state using the OSSDs on the S300 Mini Standard at any time, i.e. before a person has
reached the hazardous point or hazardous area.
Or:
It must be possible 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 Mini Remote or a further safety laser scanner,
The S300 Mini must be mounted and configured such that it detects objects as they
enter the hazardous area (see chapter 5 “Mounting” on page 54 and chapter 9
“Commissioning” on page 92).
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 Mini
3.2.1 Principle of operation
The S300 Mini 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.
t
The S300 Mini 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 Mini
calculates the distance to the object.

rotation of the S300 Mini
Product description
In the S300 Mini 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 Mini sends a pulse of light with an angular resolution of 0.5° . As a result
resolutions between 30 mm and 150 mm can be achieved .
Due to its active scanning principle, the S300 Mini 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.

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
arbitrary shape. If the area to be monitored changes, then you can re-configure the
S300 Mini in software without additional mounting effort.
Depending on the variant used (see section 3.3 “S300 Minivariants” on page 19), 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 of the S300 Mini Remote” on page 19).
You can configure field sets comprising one protective field and one or two warning fields.
The S300 Mini secures the hazardous area on a machine or vehicle. As soon as the safety
laser scanner detects an object in the protective field, it switches the OSSDs to the OFF
state 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 Mini 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 Mini can also monitor a contour (e.g. the floor
in vertical applications).

Note
WARNING
Note
Functions such as restart interlock or EDM, and in particular the shutdown of the danger-
ous movement of a machine, a system or a vehicle, must be implemented using the safety
controller or using the other safety laser scanner.
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 identify a S300 Mini in a system, you must set its address to
host or guest. For this purpose pin 1 is connected to 0 V or 24 V DC (see Tab. 20 on
page 81).
On the host connect pin 1 (H/G) to 0 V DC.
On the guest connect pin 1 (H/G) to 24 V DC.
When the S300 Mini is switched on in an EFI system, the following message appears
briefly on the 7<segment display:
on the S300 Mini host
on the S300 Mini guest
In an EFI system with an S3000 or S300 the S300 Mini must be configured as a guest, it
is never allowed to be configured as host.

3.5.3 S300 Mini Remote in combination with a Flexi Soft safety controller
The Flexi Soft safety controller provides two EFI strings; up to two safety laser scanners
(S3000, S300, S300 Mini) can be connected to each of these strings. It is therefore
possible to realize applications with up to four safety laser scanners (see also
section 7.2.2 on page 85 and section 7.3.6 on page 89).
S3000 in combination with a
Flexi Soft safety controller
The status of the protective and warning fields is transmitted using EFI and can be com-
bined in the Flexi Soft safety controller as required. During this process it does not matter
whether the devices are connected using one or various EFI strings. The signal of the
safety outputs on the Flexi Soft safety controller is transferred, e.g., to a machine or
vehicle control.
The monitoring cases that have been configured in the safety laser scanners can be
switched with the aid of the programmed logic blocks in the Flexi Soft safety controller.
If, e.g. incremental encoders are used for the velocity measurement, then these can be
connected e.g. to an S3000 Expert. The velocity signals are distributed to all safety laser
scanners via EFI.

WARNING
3.5.4 Automatic Configuration Recovery (ACR)
ACR is a function of the Flexi Soft main module. With the aid of this function it is possible
to save the configuration of the devices connected via EFI. With the ACR function acti-
vated, the existing configuration is automatically transferred to the newly connected
scanner in the event of device replacement.
To use the ACR function, a replacement device of the same type (same type code) is
required.
Prerequisites for the usage of the ACR function
Flexi Soft main module FX3-CPU2 or higher
Flexi Soft Designer V1.5.0 or higher
Configuration and Diagnostic Software (CDS) V3.6.8 or higher
It is only possible to change the scanner configuration with ACR deactivated.
If a configuration prepared with the aid of the ACR function is detected, a warning is
displayed in CDS. In this case the ACR function on this EFI string must be deactivated in
Flexi Soft Designer so that the configuration can be changed.
This warning also appears if a device with ACR previously activated is to be used in a
new situation or is to be re-configured.
Check the safety function of the devices!
If the ACR function is activated, it will automatically overwrite the configuration of the
scanner with the configuration saved in the Flexi Soft main module.
After setting up the ACR function and after replacing a scanner, check the safety
function of the devices (see chapter 9 “Commissioning” on page 92).

Configurable functions
S300 Mini
4 Configurable functions
4.1 System parameters
A name can be assigned to the application configured as well as to the safety laser
scanner(s). The names are saved in the devices after the configuration is transferred. The
name chosen may be, for example, the identifier for the vehicle, system or the machine.
You enter the application name and the names of the safety laser scanners used in the
CDS.
4.1.1 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.
Recommendation
4.1.2 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.
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.
4.1.3 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
diagnostics report.
4.1.4 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 Mini 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 Mini, the numbers of the 7<segment display are
rotated by 180°.
