4.5.8
Flexi Soft safety controller with two S3000 or S300 Mini
The status information from the S3000 or S300 Mini safety laser scanners is received by
the Flexi Soft safety controller (addresses 7 and 8) and evaluated. The protective field
switching on the S3000 is performed via the Flexi Soft safety controller. The control input
signals for this purpose are routed to the S3000 or S300 Mini via the EFI gateway
(address 14).
4.5.9
Flexi Soft safety controller with S3000 or S300 host/guest system (with local
inputs)
Only the status information from the S3000 or S300 is received by the Flexi Soft safety
controller (addresses 7 and 8) and evaluated. The protective field switching is performed
using the local inputs on the host. This information is forwarded to the guest (address 7).
