Parameters for the monitoring plane
Overview
Configure a name, the protection task, object resolution, and multiple sampling setting
for the monitoring plane.
At first, the object resolution and multiple sampling configured for the monitoring plane
apply for all fields. If necessary, make changes to each individually at a later date. If you
do this, Safety Designer will indicate this in the settings for the monitoring plane.
Name
You can use the name to identify monitoring planes when creating fields and monitoring
cases and also in reports.
b
Enter a descriptive name for the monitoring plane (e.g., “Hazardous area on the
right hand side”).
✓
The name is used to identify the monitoring planes.
Safety task
•
Hazardous area protection (Horizontal)
Typically, for a horizontal approach, the requirement is to detect the leg. The typical
object resolution is leg (70 mm).
Object resolution
The object resolution defines the size that an object must be to allow it to be reliably
detected. The following object resolutions are available:
•
50 mm = leg detection/arm detection
•
70 mm = leg detection/arm detection
b
Choose the object resolution.
✓
Objects the same size as or larger than the chosen object resolution are reliably
detected.
NOTE
The configurable object resolution has an influence on the protective field range availa‐
ble. The finer the object resolution configured for the safety laser scanner, the shorter
the available protective field range.
The protective field range is shown to you,
see "Parameters for the safety laser scan‐
.
Multiple sampling
DANGER
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons or parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized or not recognized in
time in case of non-observance.
A higher multiple sampling increases the response time.
b
Make a note of the new response time of the safety laser scanner in Safety
Designer.
b
Adjust the minimum distance from the hazardous point to the new response time.
Multiple sampling indicates how often an object has to be scanned before the safety
laser scanner responds. A higher multiple sampling reduces the possibility that insects,
weld sparks or other particles cause the machine to be shut down. You will increase the
machine’s availability.
