Note
: install the sensor so that the field of view is shifted towards the outside of the
hazardous area to avoid false alarms (see
Position of the field of view on page 56
).
Installation on the machinery.

Connect the control to the sensors
Note
: when replacing a sensor, in the safeRS3 Designer application, click

CHANGES
to confirm the change.
1. With the cable validator tool (downloadable from the site www.sick.com), decide if
the control will be positioned at the end of the chain or inside it (see
).
2. Set the DIP switch of the control based on its position in the chain.
3. Connect the desired sensor directly to the control.
4. To connect another sensor, connect it to the last sensor in the chain or directly to the
control to start a second chain.
5. Repeat step 4 for all the sensors to be installed.
6. Insert the bus terminator (product code: 6073830), into the free connector of the
last sensor of the chain(s).
7.2.9
Assign the Node IDs
Type of assignment
Three types of assignment are possible:
l
Manual: to assign the Node ID to a sensor at a time. Can be performed with all the
sensors already connected or after each connection. Useful for adding a sensor or to
change Node ID to a sensor.
l
Automatic: to assign the Node IDs to all sensors at once. To be performed when all
the sensors are connected.
l
Semi-automatic: wizard for connecting the sensors and assign the Node ID one
sensor at a time.
Procedure
1. Start the application.
2. Click
User
>
Configuration
and verify that the number of sensors in the
configuration is the same of the sensors installed.
