Integration in the control
The safety laser scanner communicates with the machine controller as follows:
• PROFINET PROFIsafe
Protective field range
The safety laser scanner is available in variants with the following maximum protec‐
tive field range:
• 4.0 m

• "Variant overview", page 136
3.3.2 Connections
• 1 x male connector, M12, A-coding for voltage supply
• 2 × female connector, M12, D-coding for Ethernet (PROFINET PROFIsafe, data
output, configuration, and diagnostics)
• 1 × female connector, USB 2.0 Mini-B for configuration and diagnosis. 1)
3.3.3 System plug
A system plug is required to operate the safety laser scanner.
The metal plate with the connections is the system plug ( see figure 2, page 14 ). The
system plug can either be mounted on the rear side or the underside.
The safety laser scanner’s internal configuration memory is integrated in the system
plug. The system plug and all connecting cables can remain at the installation site
when the safety laser scanner is replaced. The system plug is detached from the
defective safety laser scanner and connected to the new safety laser scanner. The
new safety laser scanner reads the configuration from the configuration memory when
switched on.
3.3.4 Field types
During operation, the safety laser scanner uses its laser beams to continuously check
whether people or objects are present in one or more areas. The areas to be checked
are called fields. A distinction is made between the following field types, depending on
the application type:
• Protective field
• Warning field

Protective field
The protective field is the area in which the test object specified by the manufacturer
is detected by the electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE). As soon as the elec‐
tro-sensitive protective device detects an object in the protective field, it switches the
