Configuring the safety sensor
Leuze electronic

Prerequisites:
• The safety sensor is mounted (see chapter 7 "Mounting") and connected (see chapter 8 "Electrical
connection") correctly.
• Dangerous process is switched off, outputs of the safety sensor are disconnected, and the system is
protected against being switched back on.
• The size of the protective field is determined on the basis of the mounting location, the calculated
safety distances and additional distances.
• The start/restart operating mode required by the application has been determined.
• The conditions for field pair changeover, if required, have been determined.
• The configuration and diagnostics software for the safety sensor is installed on the PC (see
chapter 4.2 "Installing software").
Procedure
All configuration data is defined using the configuration and diagnostics software.
To configure the safety sensor, proceed as follows:
Connect the PC to the safety sensor
Start the software
• Set up communication
• Determine the configuration project
Configure the protective function using the project wizard
• Protective/warning field configuration
• Resolution and response time
• Start-up behavior
• Contactor monitoring
• Field pair changeover
Save configuration project
Transferring a configuration to the safety sensor
Create a record document for the device configuration and protective field dimensioning. The document
must be signed by the person responsible for the configuration.
To document the configuration, you can create a PDF file of the safety configuration or save the config
-
uration and settings in an *.xml file.
NOTICE
OSSDs will switch off if no reflection signals are being measured!
If the safety sensor is unable to measure any reflection signals in a continuous scanning angle of ≥ 45°
for a long period of time, the safety-related switching outputs switch off. In certain application types (e.g.
in buildings with extremely large distances), the safety sensor may not be able to measure any reflection
signals. For such application types, it is possible to set or deactivate the monitoring times.
In the CONFIGURATION menu, click the
Other
option.
The OTHER dialog box opens.
In the PROTECTION AGAINST MANIPULATION dialog box, define the monitoring time according to
your specific conditions.
If the parking position is active, there will be no manipulation monitoring.
Many safety-relevant parameters are preset for each application in the configuration and diag
-
nostics software. Use these preset values where possible.
The configuration data is stored in the connection unit of the safety sensor and is therefore also
available after replacement or repair of the scanner unit. The configuration data only needs to be
transferred again if changes are made to the configuration.
