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 avail‐
able. 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 safety laser scanner’s new response time 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 reacts. 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.
A multiple sampling of 2 is the minimum setting.
b
Increase the multiple sampling up to 16.
✓
An object must be this many times.
