3. Go to the Scanner menu and select Discovery.
The software searches for any scanner connected to the network. The discovered demo kit SX5-B scanner is listed under
the Discovery window with its assigned IP address.
4. Double-click on the information box listing the demo kit SX5-B scanner.
If this is the first time the scanner is connected to the computer, a warning message appears asking if you want to change
the IP address.
5. Click OK to change the IP address.
6. To match the scanner to the network that the adapter is addressed to (IP Local), change the scanner IP address to
192.168.15.X, where X is a number between 1 and 254, and is not equal to anything else on the subnetwork (subset mask
255.255.255.0).
The scanner uses two IP addresses: the one you assign and the next number up from that address.
7. After changing the scanner's IP address, click OK.
Now that the recognized scanner is configured to communicate with your laptop, this set of instructions will not need to be
repeated if the software is closed and re-opened.
Demo Kit Example Configuration #1
This configuration is a scanner mounted in front of a hazardous machine that should be clear of personnel when in Run Mode. The
configuration includes a Warning Zone and assigned warning status output that turns off if the Warning Zone is blocked.
For a simple demonstration, the scanner is set up to use Auto-Reset.
1. Create a new configuration.
• If the software has just been opened, click New Safety System Configuration.
• If you have already established communication, on the menu bar, go to File > New Configuration.
2. On the left side of the screen, double-click on the SX5-B window.
3. In the right corner, click on the right arrow to advance to the next screen.
The Configuration Settings screen displays.
4. Set the Scenario to Expert. You may also edit the configuration name, author, description, and the scanner name.
After you enter a scanner name, the name and part number display in the SX5-B window.
5. Click on the right arrow to advance to the next screen.
The Output Configuration screen displays. Functions that require an output from the SX5 scanner are listed. Grayed-out
fields cannot be changed, such as the wires used for OSSD 11 and OSSD 12.
6. In the Output Functions section set the following parameters:
a) Warning: Use the drop-down list to select 1 Warning Zone.
b) Muting: Select Disabled from the drop-down list.
The three selectable I/O wires (white, green, and yellow) are reserved for the needed input and/or output signals. More
complex configurations that may include Muting inputs, Override input, Reset Input, a Mute Lamp output, as well as one or
two Warning Zone outputs, are not possible without an additional control module or Safety Controller to perform all needed
functions.
7. Click on the right arrow to advance to the next screen.
The Zone Set Configuration screen displays.
8. From the Zone Set No. drop-down list, select 1.
A Safety Zone with a choice of adding a Warning Zone is considered to be a Zone Set. Having just one Zone Set does not
require the use of the three I/O wires because there is no switching.
When setting up Demo Configuration 3, you will be adding an additional Zone Set, which will require more configuration
instructions. There can be up to 6 Zone Sets in one configuration.
9. Click on the right arrow to advance to the next screen.
The Input Configuration screen displays.
10. In the Input Functions section, set the following parameters:
a) Restart Mode: Select Automatic or Manual. For this demonstration, select Automatic.
b) Recovery Time (msec): Select the length of time to recover after resetting. This field is only available when in Automatic
Restart Mode. For this demonstration, select 200 ms.
c) Muting Type: Select from drop-down list. (Only available if Muting is enabled on the Output Configuration screen.)
d) Max Muting Activation Delay (msec): Select the delay between M1 and M2, in milliseconds.
e) Timeout min): Set the muting timeout, in minutes.

11. Click on the right arrow to advance to the next screen.
The Detection Configuration screen displays. This screen is for the Detection Configuration of the Safety Zone and, if
included, the Warning Zone(s). Make no changes to the default settings on this screen for demo kit configuration 1.
The Number of Scans can be set from 2 to as high as 16 if there are insects or other floating objects that could trip the
scanner outputs. Increasing the number of scans increases the response time needed to stop the hazard.
The choice of Detection Capability refers to the resolution at maximum range. For most horizontal detection applications, a
resolution of 70 mm will reach a safety zone distance of 5.5 meters. If 40 mm is selected, the maximum safety range is 3
meters, which may be adequate for vertical apps. The same settings can be selected for the Warning Zone(s), resulting in a
range of either 40 meters or 22 meters.
The Dust Filter level selection defaults to low. The Low Dust Filter level setting is used in cleaner environments. The High
Dust Filter Level is used in extemely dirty environments to prevent floating particles from being detected. A Medium Dust
Filter setting is for conditions between Low and High. Raising the dust filter level increases the safety distance under
certain lighting conditions.
12. Click on the right arrow to advance to the next screen.
The Zones Configuration screen displays.
The Zones Configuration screen displays the scanner viewed from above. Use this screen to design the shape and
extended distance needed for the correct Safety Zone protection and any Warning Zone(s) needed for a specific
configuration.
In the center is the Area Graph. On the left is a list of zones that can be configured. On the right are the various
configuration icons. To configure Demo Configuration 1, a circular Safety Zone and Warning Zone will be added.
13. Under Configuration > ZoneSet > Zone1, click on Safety to select it.
14. Click on the circle icon tool on the right.
15. Position the mouse pointer over the scanner image. Click and hold down the left button to drag the image to the left to
create a red Safety Zone circle. Release the mouse button after you are close to X=200mm.
To delete the shape and create another, move your mouse over the shape. Right-click and select the shape name. From
the editing choices, click delete.
If no icons display, click on the small arrow at the top right to view all icons. If no Configuration for Zone sets are visible,
click on the arrow at the top left of the page.
16. To create a Warning Zone, click to highlight the Warning 1. Select the circle icon and drag the mouse to the left until you
are close to X=400 mm. Use the + and - icons to change the size of the image if necessary.
17. To view the Safety Zone and the Warning Zone, select both.
The Reference Point is not used for this configuration. A minimum of three assigned reference points are needed for
vertical applications when surfaces are monitored to ensure the scanner doesn't shift from its mounted position.
The configuration up to this point (steps 1-17) may be performed without an attached scanner.
18. To transfer the completed configuration to the attached scanner, click on the Programming function.
If this is your first attempt to program the scanner since the software was launched, the software performs a Discovery
function as it forms a communications link to the attached SX5-B.
19. Double-click on the SX5-B image (with IP address) on the left side, then click on the right arrow to advance to the next
screen.
20. In the Configuration Upload window, click Load.
21. If the program was successfully validated, click OK. If an error message appears, resolve the issue.
22. When the system asks for a password, enter admin and click OK. Click OK for the Off-Duty warning.
The software begins to upload the configuration files to the scanner. Transferring files to or from the scanner may take up
to 60 seconds to complete. During and after the upload, the SX5-B display updates with status information on the
progress. When the upload is complete, the display show inverted colors to indicate the scanner is still in a pre-acceptance
stage. This stage allows you to test in Monitoring mode before you accept the configuration.
23. After transferring the configuration file to the scanner, click Accept in the Validation window. Wait for finalizing to be
completed. The SX5-B display inverts the colors to show a black color background.
The configuration file is loading Before validation After validation
A summary document is available, from this screen, that contains information about the configuration file. The summary
document can be printed or saved to a PDF.
24. To view the scanner's response with the programmed settings, click on the Monitoring function.

25. Demonstrate the reaction of the scanner software as well as the scanner display as you block the two zones. The Demo Kit
box should have the S22 light for the Warning Zone (white wire) turn on when the zone is clear and turn off when the zone
is blocked. The T8 light (OSSD) is green when the Safety Zone is clear and red when the Safety Zone is blocked.
Discussion Topics:
Application examples using up to the full 275 degree zone protection such as:
1. Guarding around all four sides of a stationary machine with openings that expose to hazards. Using two scanners mounted
on opposing corners may be cost effective compared to safety mats.
2. Protecting personnel against a simple moving AGV or mobile apparatus moving back and forth on a rail would also be a
great application for two SX5-B scanners located on two corners of the object.
The SX5-B safety scanner does not have available external device monitoring (EDM). The safety outputs (OSSD1 and OSSD2) will
need to be connected to a safety-rated module or controller that has EDM monitoring (if necessary), such as Banner's UM-FA-FA
module or the SC26/XS26 controllers.
When a configuration includes a Warning Zone, you can select one or two zones with assigned outputs for each. This may be
needed for an application that uses each warning output for separate external controls.
Demo Kit Example Configuration #2 -- Muting Inputs
The SX5 is able to assign muting inputs as well as supply an output to indicate the muting status is active. This Demonstration
Configuration shows the scanner's ability to perform these functions.
As shown, the SX5-B can be mounted and configured to allow
the tray to turn on the M1 and M2 mute sensors, mounted in an
X pattern within the Safety Zone.
The muted state continues operation as the tray moves past the
scanner until the tray clears the monitored X pattern.

1. In the configuration software, go to the Configuration > Zone Set screen and change the following parameters.
•ZoneSetNo: 1
2. Go to the Configuration > Outputs screen and define the following parameters.
•Muting: Enabled
•Muting Lamp: 1
•Output Signals: Assign PIN 4 (yellow) to Muting Lamp 1.
3. Go to the Configuration > Inputs screen and define the following parameters.
•Restart Mode: Automatic
•Muting Type: Bidirectional (travels in both directions through the Safety Zone)
•Max Muting Activation Delay: 4 seconds (sets the maximum delay allowed between the activation of M1 and M2)
•Timeout: 10 seconds
•Override: Disabled
•Input Signals: Assign the remaining two pins to Muting 1 1 and Muting 1 2.
4. Go to the Configuration > Zones screen.
5. Right-click your mouse at any location on the configuration grid to access information about the existing Safety Zone
shape. As you move the mouse to the left, the software shows you where you can click to delete to remove the Safety
Zone shape.

6. Select the rectangle pattern and enter the X, Y coordinates as shown (Start: -300, 0 and End: 300, 300). Click Draw.
The red rectangle pattern for the safety zone is created.
7. Follow the same steps as for Demonstration Configuration #1 to upload the new configuration file to the scanner.
8. On the Monitoring screen, demonstrate how the muting works by activating the M1 and M2 inputs on the Demo Box and
blocking the Safety Zone with and without muting activated. The Mute Lamp output (yellow S22) flashes during the Mute
Mode.
If the Mute Lamp is not responding because of a previous configuration that included the yellow S22 assigned as a
Warning Lamp output, cycle the power to the SX5 and test again for the proper response.
Discussion: Use a bidirectional Muting Type when the Mute sensors are positioned for an X pattern using two Mute sensor inputs,
or a T pattern using four mute sensors as the load passes in either direction through the scanner safety zone during the muted
state.
If the Muting Type is selected as unidirectional, the mute sensors can be arranged in an L pattern allowing for convenient muting
Off-Delay software settings for the one-way mute configuration.
Demo Kit Example Configuration #3 -- Two Zone Sets
This example application is a scanner mounted in front of a hazardous machine with a small robot inside. There is hard guarding
surrounding the cell with two small openings in front used for the operator to place or remove parts. The configuration will have two
zone sets to allowing access to one zone while safeguarding the opposite zone.
You can demonstrate the switching of the zone sets with the
demo box. There will be a restart input used after the Safety
Zone is cleared, and that input will also serve as the reset to clear
a lockout condition.
For this demonstration, make the Configuration changes,
Programming changes, and the Monitoring instructions using
information you learned from the steps you completed in Demo
Kit Configurations 1 and 2 .
1. Go to the Configuration > Outputs screen and disable Muting.
2. Go to the Configuration > Zone Set screen and change the ZoneSetNo to 2.
3. Click OK on the warning that pops up and use the arrow to change the ZoneSetNo to 2.
4. To allow sufficient timing for you to change from one Zone Set to another during the demonstration, increase the Input
Delay Max (ms) from 30 ms to 3000 ms.
If you do not increase the Input Delay Max time, you will experience timing faults when you switch zones.
