For additional information, consult the operation instructions of the corresponding sen‐

For high quality of the localization, we recommend to consider the following information
about the sensors.
microScan3
•Protective field range 9 m (64 m warning field range)
The sensors with 64 m measurement range are preferred over the ones with 40 m
measurement range. They can be used in both configurations, 50 ms and 40 ms
scan cycle time. Smaller scan cycle times allow potentially higher velocities, how‐
ever, are primarily dependent on your risk assessment.
•Protective field range 4 m and 5.5 m (40 m warning field range)
When using the sensors with 40 m measurement range, they can be used in both
configurations, 40 ms and 30 ms scan cycle time, with corresponding 0.39° and
0.51° resolution. A smaller scan cycle time allows potentially higher velocities. A
higher resolution allows the detection of smaller objects. However, the configura‐
tion is primarily dependent on your risk assessment.

NOTICE
By default, the localization controller is a programmable device. When using the local‐
ization controller with the application software LiDAR-LOC, the controller is converted
into an application device. This means that the device cannot be programmed any
longer; it is locked for any additional application and cannot be unlocked.

tions 8023299.

5.3.1 Preparations and overview
Preparing the electrical installation
To carry out the electrical installation, you will need:
•Connection cables for the peripheral devices, including the corresponding data
sheets
•Voltage supply cable
•If customers assemble the cables: crimping tool, ferrules, soldering iron, and other
installation material

5.3.2 Pin allocations of the connections
Important information
NOTE
The SIM1000 FXA device is supplied with power from an external power supply unit via
the pins A1 and A2.
Pin allocations of the connections
Only the pins for supply voltage, ground, and input/outputs are used in the LiDAR local‐
ization applica-tion.
For the power supply of the SIM1000 FXA, connect the open ends of the power supply
cable to the pins of the terminal block 1.
When using the CoLa-A synchronization methods, connect the I/O port of the vehicle
controller with IY2 of the terminal block 2 of the SIM1000 FXA.

5.3.3 Network setup
5.3.3.1 Preset Ethernet interfaces
NOTE
Preset IP addresses of the Ethernet interfaces:
•Port 1: 192.168.0.1 (e.g. connection to the service computer)
•Port 2: 192.168.1.1 (e.g. connection to the 2D LiDAR sensor)
•Port 3: 192.168.2.1 (e.g. connection to the vehicle controller)
•Port 4: 192.168.3.1
When expanding the GigE interfaces with one or more Ethernet switches, it is essential
to use only jumbo-frame compatible GigE switches. Switches limited to just 100 MB do
not support the data packet mode used by cameras and can cause transmission
errors.
Changing the IP addresses
The individual IP addresses can be changed using the SICK SOPAS ET PC tool. This is
described in detail in the “SIM Getting Started Guide”, which is available for download
from the SICK AppSpace area of the SICK Support Portal. This guide also includes fur‐
ther notes on how to connect SICK sensors and the SICK picoCam and midiCam cam‐
eras to the Ethernet interfaces.
5.3.3.2 Ethernet connections
Important information
NOTICE
Shielded Ethernet cables must be used. The shielding of the Ethernet cables must be
connected to functional earth.

5.3.3.3 Connecting peripheral devices
The device can be connected to a wide range of sensors and cameras.
The required pin assignments can be found in the data sheets for the peripherals to be
connected as well as in the relevant connection descriptions.
•Connect the cables to peripheral devices.
•Route the cables to the device using installation materials (cable channels, cable
ties, etc.). When doing so, pay attention to cable strain relief.
•Connect cables to the relevant device connections and screw together tightly.

6 MicroScan3 configuration of the data output
6.1 Important notes
Using the safe 2D LiDAR sensor does require the safety-related functions of the sensor
to be fully configured. The configuration needs to be valid and verified and the sensor
must not be in error mode.
When using PROFINET scanners, the inputs have to be configured in the same way as
the scanner is integrated. E.g. if there is an input signal configured, the input source
has to be electrically applied.
6.2 Overview
For more information on the microScan3’s data output via UDP and TCP/IP, refer to the
document with the following SICK part numbers:
•8022706
DANGER
Danger of using data output for safety function
Data output may only be used for general monitoring and control tasks.
bDo not use data output for safety-related applications.
Data output allows for the output of measurement data and other data via the Ethernet
interface. Other network participants, the receivers, can call up and use the data.
The data output works in different send modes:
•On request: Data is output when there is an explicit request from a host computer
via TCP/IP using CoLa2
•Continuous and on request: Data is output continuously via UDP to a defined target
address and also when there is an explicit request from a host computer via
TCP/IP using CoLa2
6.3 Activating and configuring data output
You can activate and configure the data output in two ways:
•With the Safety Designer
•Via the CoLa2 protocol

6.4.1 Configuring with the Safety Designer
Overview
Figure 11: Data output
1Send mode
2Data content
3Angular range
Using Safety Designer, you can configure the safety laser scanner and the data output.
A configuration that is created with the Safety Designer is saved in the device and is
also active after restarting the device.
Send mode
•Deactivated: Data output is deactivated
•On request: Data is output when there is an explicit request from a host computer
via TCP/IP using CoLa2
•Continuous and on request: Data is output continuously via UDP to a defined target
address and also when there is an explicit request from a host computer via
TCP/IP using CoLa2
Data content
•Measurement data: Distance data with reflector detection and RSSI
•Field interruption: Data on the light beams in interrupted fields of the active monitor‐
ing case

Subject to change without notice

•Application data: Status of inputs and outputs that are used in the monitoring case
table
•Device status: Information on the status of the safety laser scanner (e.g., cut-off
paths, errors)
•Configuration of data output: Information on the angular range actually being used
(for technical reasons, data from a slightly larger angular range than the one set
may be output in some cases)
Angular range
You can define the range within which measurement data and data relating to field
interruptions is output.
6.5 Multiple receivers of measurement data via broadcast
Overview
If you want to transmit measurement data from the safety laser scanner to multiple
clients, you must use broadcasting.
For the default Ethernet configuration of the SIM, the port 2 is:
•IP: 192.168.1.1
•Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
The broadcast IP address for this subnet (derived from IP of the SIM) is:
•192.168.1.255
Important information
NOTE
When using multiple LiDARs, a different receiver port for each sensor must be config-
ured (UDP port). For example:
•UDP port Safety Scanner 1: 6060
•UDP port Safety Scanner 2: 6061
If multiple sensors use the same receiver port, the scans may interfere with each other.
This may cause a fault in LiDAR-LOC or any customer application. Setting a receiver port
number in the range between 51000 and 51100 may cause interference with other
sensor configurations and should be avoided.
NOTE
When localizing, please close the SICK Safety Designer. The CoLa-A communication of
the SICK Safety Designer interferes with the CoLa-A communication of LiDAR-LOC.
Approach
1. In the Safety Designer, open Configuration → Addressing.
2. In the section IP address, configure the Ethernet interface IP of the microScan3 to
an unused IP address in the subnet, e.g. 192.168.1.2.
