SOPAS displays the fields as green if no field breach is present. If objects of a certain
size are located for a certain duration in the part of the visual range that is covered by
fields, the device will recognize this as a field breach. SOPAS displays this separately in
yellow for the individual fields.
Click the Reset button to make SOPAS reset the switching output counters.

Parameter - evaluation cases
Response time, blanking size and switching output holding time
The blanking size is the smallest size from which an object can be detected in a field by
the device and lead to a field breach. All objects that are smaller than the minimum
size are blanked out.
Like the response time and the holding time, the blanking size applies to all field sets
and their fields.
Parameter
Factory setting
Blanking size
Cross-section 200 mm
Response time of the fields
335 ms (5 scans)
Holding time of the switching outputs
335 ms (5 scans)
When selecting the response time, note that the device internal reaction time must also
be added (max. 67 ms).
To test the effects of the changed settings, change to the “Field evaluation monitor”
view.
If the changed fields have been transferred to the device as described, SOPAS will also
display these in the monitor, displaying the infringed fields in yellow. If you wish to
observe another field set, it must first be activated accordingly using the switching
inputs.
