Data source
•
Read from the device: Available only when a device is connected. The data stored
in the device will be read.
•
Load file: You can open a file that stores events that were previously read from a
device.
•
Save Data: You can save the events read from a device to a file for later analysis.
Events
The
Events
view shows a graphical overview of the protective field interruptions that
caused a safety output to be switched to the OFF state.
•
Navigation: You can select the event whose measurement data is displayed in the
right area.
•
Overview of events: The position of each recorded field interruption relative to the
safety laser scanner is displayed. If you hold the mouse pointer on a position, the
set multiple sampling is displayed. When you click a position, the corresponding
measurement data are displayed in the right-hand area.
•
Measurement data for the selected event: The measurement data of the selected
field interruption is displayed. If multiple scans are stored for the selected field
interruption, you can view the individual scans one by one by clicking the icons
next to
Scan
.
Event table
The event table shows detailed information about the events which have led to a safety
output switching to the OFF state.
Based on the measurement data, a probable cause is assigned to each event:
•
Object: The protective field was probably interrupted by an object.
•
Contamination: The shutdown was triggered by a soiling of the optics cover in the
area of the protective field.
•
Dazzling: The shutdown was triggered by an external light source in the scan plane
in the area of the protective field, e.g., sun, halogen light, infrared light source,
stroboscope.
•
Near the edge of the field or particles in the field: The protective field was probably
interrupted at the edge or by particles.
Multiple sampling
The
Multiple sampling
view shows how frequently field interruptions with different dura‐
tions have occurred. All protective field interruptions are taken into account. Therefore,
the number of entries in this view may deviate from the other views.
The duration is specified as the number of successive scans in which a field is inter‐
rupted. For each duration, the diagram shows the corresponding number of field inter‐
ruptions.
