Setting Description
Behavior of digital
output With the “Switching behavior” setting, you can manually select whether
the output should relate to the Safety-related Zone far (
see figure 20,
page 31 ) or Safety-related Zone near ( see figure 19, page 31 ).
switching point • The switching threshold of the “Distance to object” ( DtO mode ) switch‐
ing mode can be set manually in millimeters via the switching point.
•
The teach function can be used to teach a simple switching point for
the “Distance to object” (
DtO mode ) switching mode.
Hysteresis With the “Hysteresis” setting, the switching hysteresis can be manually
set to
10 mm , 25 mm or 50 mm .
Example DtO mode parameterization for Q1:
1. Connect to the device and switch to the Outputs settings page in SOPAS ET.
2. Set the Q1 switching function to DtO mode .
3. Set the Q1 output behavior according to the desired function: Safety-related Zone
near
4. Enter the distance to the switching point in the input window (optional: position the
object at switching point 1 and perform a
Teach ).
5. Select a suitable Q1 hysteresis according to the application properties ( see
"Project planning", page 48 ): 25 mm
6. Transfer parameters the device using the “Write all parameters” button.
7. Check whether the function works appropriately for the configured parameters!
7.3.3.2 Window mode
The window mode can be configured via the switching function for Q1 and Q2. The
digital output can be parameterized for the
Double safety-related zone or Observation window
behavior. The necessary settings can either be taught-in or set manually. These are
described in the following.
For a detailed functional description, see "Safety-related functions", page 16 .
NOTE
The switching point can only be set in the valid measuring range from 50 mm to
15,000 mm.
For proper functioning, the distance between switching point 1 and switching point 2
must be greater than twice the hysteresis.
When switching between the “Switching window” ( Window mode ) switching function and
the “Distance to object” ( DtO mode ) switching function, it is possible for the setting of
the previously selected switching behavior and/or the switching point setting to change.
