Chapter 3 Configurable Functions
The OSSDs on the SafeZone Mini device change to the OFF state or the
SafeZone Mini Remote signals in the following situations:
• There is an object in the protective field.
• The monitored surrounding contour is no longer in the tolerance band
(for example, if the position of the SafeZone Mini device is changed).
Vertical Operation
In vertical operation (for access protection and hazardous point protection),
according to CLC/TS 61496-3 you must always configure the protective fields
that are used with the contour as reference function.
Figure 13 - Contour as Reference for Vertical Operation
TIP • You can define any number of contour segments.
• The contour segments must not be narrower than the configured
resolution.
• At the points where a contour has been configured as a reference you
cannot define warning fields. If, for example, you use the floor as a
reference for access protection, you cannot configure a warning field
there. However, you can, for example, configure a warning field to the
left and right of the contour segment to control a warning signal on
approach from the side.
• The contour as reference function and the warning field 2 function are
mutually exclusive.
You define the contour as a reference in the SCD software field set editor.
