6.5.2 Zone Set
A Zone Set is the combination of a configured Safety Zone (SZ) and Warning Zone (WZ). When active, a specific Zone Set
has sole control of the safety outputs (OSSD1 and OSSD2) and the Warning auxiliary output, if set in the configuration. This
function is useful to change the safeguarding area in applications in which a hazard is not continually present or in
applications in which speed and stopping distances varies.

More than one Zone Set can be configured to define either separate or overlapping areas and these can be switched
between using combinations of input signals.
To create a Zone Set, the user must configure it through the Scanner's GUI.
Note: The basic model has only one OSSD pair, so only one safety area can be defined for each Zone Set.
Single Zone Set Configuration
This configuration step allows the user to set the Zone Set parameters. For this example, the configuration includes only
one Zone Set, so it is not necessary to insert or edit any parameters. The Input Wires parameters do not require any
assignments in this situation.
Note: When only one Zone Set is selected, up to two Warning Zones can be configured.

Multiple Zone Sets Configuration
When more than one Zone Set is used, the Zone Set inputs (area switch inputs) are used to select which Zone Set is active.
External logic (e.g., a PLC) is capable of selecting one of up to six configured Zone Sets stored in the scanner at any given
time.
After the scanner is configured, switching over to or activating an individual Zone Set is controlled by the input pins (area
switch inputs) assigned in the configuration software.
The input combination that makes the Zone Sets change (area switch inputs) must be unique and must not be susceptible
to false external signals (at least two inputs must change).
