What can be done by the setting tool
Warning Zone Function
Overview
Detection zone can be divided into original detection zone and warning zone.
Warning zone output is non-safety output. You must not include it to calculation of safety distance.
Otherwise safety distance may be reduced, resulting in serious injury.
A warning zone CANNOT be used for safety applications. Always install your system so that a
detection zone should be passed before reaching a source of danger.
Warning zone function can be used only when F3SJ is installed horizontally. It CANNOT be used when
F3SJ is installed vertically.
A warning zone must be configured based on a safety distance.
See "Safety Distance: If a person approaches the detection zone of the F3SJ perpendicularly p.115 " if
a detection zone is within vertically installed F3SJ as shown left.
See "Safety Distance: In case of horizontal approach of a human body to F3SJ's detection zone p.116
" if a detection zone is within horizontally installed F3SJ as shown right.
Example
•When a person enters, indicator or buzzer should notify warning without stopping a machine.
Functional Description
• Warning Zone Function
Incidence or interruption to a warning zone will not affect safety output operation. When an output
operation mode of auxiliary output or external indicator output is configured as a warning zone, its
unblocked/blocked status can be output.
