•
The safety laser scanner must be arranged and configured in such a manner that
it can detect objects entering into the hazardous area.
•
The optical path of the safety laser scanner must be kept clear at all times and
must also not be obscured by transparent objects such as protective screens, plex‐
iglass, lenses, etc. The protective function of the safety laser scanner can only be
guaranteed if the contamination measurement function is not circumvented by
such measures.

Specific features
•
270° scanning angle
•
Increased dust and particle tolerance due to dazzle and particle algorithms
•
Variants with a scanning range up to 2 m or 3 m (maximum radii of the protective
field)
•
Configuration via PC or notebook using the SICK Configuration & Diagnostic soft‐
ware
•
Configuration memory in the system plug. If the device is exchanged, the existing
configuration is automatically transmitted to the newly-connected safety laser
scanner. This considerably reduces downtimes.
•
Field sets comprising one protective field and up to 2 warning fields
•
Contour monitoring of the protective field if using only one warning field
•
•
Integrated external device monitoring (EDM)
•
Integrated configurable restart interlock/restart delay
•
Secure bus connection via Enhanced Function Interface (EFI) for operation in a
system network with other safety laser scanners, with products in the sens:Control
product group, or with a Flexi Soft safety controller
•
Compatibility mode for interoperability with older generation safety laser scanners
S300 Advanced or higher
•
Up to 4 field sets
•
Monitoring case switching via static inputs or EFI
S300 Professional or higher
•
Up to 8 field sets
•
Monitoring case switching via dynamic inputs using incremental encoder
•
Speed routing using a Flexi Soft safety controller
S300 Expert
•
Up to 16 field sets
•
CMS feature for detecting reflectors as artificial landmarks
3.2.2
Device overview
The safety laser scanner comprises 3 components:
•
The sensor with the opto-electronic detection system, the LEDs, and the 7-seg‐
ment display
•
The optics cover with the light emission window
•
The system plug with configuration memory. The system plug has all the electrical
connections except for the configuration interface.
