Banner AG4 Series Safety Laser Scanner

Note: Due to the timing requirements, it is recommended that the selection of Field Pairs 5, 6, 7, or 8 be

made via PC, PES, or PLC logic. Additional switches or sensors can be used to enable (allow) Field

Pair switchover.



For switching between Field Pairs 1, 2, 3, and 4, the new Field Pair(s) is active before the original Field Pair is

deactivated (Field Pairs ―overlap

‖)

during the one-second switchover time limit. See timing diagram Figure 1-9.



If no Field Pairs are selected (active) after the switchover time, a lockout will occur (i.e., all FP inputs are 0V dc

or an open connection).



Selecting an invalid Field Pair(s) or not completing the selection within the switchover time will result in a

lockout.



Selecting Field Pairs that are not configured will result in a lockout.



Switching between Field Pairs that are not allowed per the ―Permitted Field Pair switchove

r‖

table will result in

a lockout. See the AG4Soft Software Manual.



The Scanner is allowed to power up (see Section 1.12.1 Start/Restart (Reset) Interlock) with Field Pair 1

through 7 selected as configured in the Field Pair ―Scanner sta

rt‖

table. See the AG4Soft Software Manual and

―Field Pair 8

‖ b

elow for more information.

In addition, factors dependent on the risk assessment that may affect the safety circuit integrity level include:



The means of selecting Field Pairs must be analyzed in respect of failure modes to ensure that an unintended

switchover does not occur. In higher risk applications, it is highly recommended to use redundant sensors or

switches to initiate or enable a Field Pair change. Diverse technology can minimize the possibility of common

cause or common mode failures.



Ensure that selecting/deselecting Field Pairs does not expose any individual to a hazard. Supplemental

safeguarding may be required.

Field Pair 8

Field pair 8 is pre-configured and is not user-adjustable. Its Protective Field and Warning Field are deactivated and its

OSSD (safety) outputs and ALARM 1 auxiliary output remain ON (unless a lockout occurs).

This Field Pair must only

be used when there is no exposure to any hazard.

Supplemental safeguarding may be required during the selection

of Field Pair 8.
It is not possible to power up (start) when Field Pair 8 is selected. Field pairs 1 through 7 (typically the Field Pair with the

largest Protective Field) must be selected at power-up and then a switchover to Field Pair 8 can be accomplished

according to the conditions stated above. It is allowed to switch over from Field Pair 8 to any configured Field Pair.

WARNING . . . FIELD PAIR 8 FUNCTION

Field Pair 8 deactivates the entire Protective Field and Warning Field monitoring function of the Scanner.

This creates a condition where

the Scanner OSSD safety outputs

are always ON,

even if an individual enters the potentially hazardous area.

Enable (select) Field Pair 8 only when personnel are not exposed to a hazard.
Failure to follow these recommendations can potentially create a dangerous situation that may lead to serious injury or death.
