These operating instructions provide important information on how to
handlePS30patternsensorsfromSICKAG.Adherencetoallthespecied
safety notes and guidelines is a prerequisite for working safely.
You must also comply with any local work safety regulations and general
safetyspecicationsapplicabletotheuseofthepatternsensors.
Ensure that you read through these operating instructions carefully before
starting any work. They constitute an integral part of the product and
should be stored in the direct vicinity of the pattern sensors so they remain
accessible to personnel at all times.
Should the pattern sensor be passed on to a third party, these operating
instructions should be handed over with it.
NOTE!
A machine cycle as the input signal, e.g. via an encoder
or a motor feedback system, is necessary for the opera-
tion of the pattern sensor.

Safety
2 Safety
2.1 Intended use
The PS30 pattern sensor is an opto-electronic sensor intended for non-con-
tact recognition of recurring patterns. A machine cycle as the input signal,
e.g. via an encoder or a motor feedback system, is necessary for the opera-
tion of the pattern sensor.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of
the product, either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of
the product that does not conform to its intended purpose and is neither
described nor mentioned in this documentation.
2.2 Incorrect use
The PS30 pattern sensor does not constitute a safety component accord-
ing to the EC Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
The pattern sensors must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas.
Any other use that is not described as intended use is prohibited.
Never install or connect accessories if their quantity and composition are
notclearlyspecied,oriftheyhavenotbeenapprovedbySICKAG.
WARNING
Danger due to improper use!
Any improper use can result in dangerous situations.
For this reason:
• Pattern sensors should be used only according to
intendedusespecications.
• All information in these operating instructions must be
strictly observed.
2.3 Modicationsandconversions
Modicationsandconversionstothepatternsensorand/ortheinstallation
may result in unforeseeable dangers.
Beforeanytechnicalmodicationstoandexpansionsofthepatternsensor,
the prior written approval of the manufacturer must be obtained.

2.4 Requirements for skilled persons and operating personnel
WARNING
Riskofinjuryduetoinsucienttraining.
Improper handling may result in considerable personal
injury and material damage.
For this reason:
• All work must only ever be carried out by the stipulated
persons.
Theoperatinginstructionsstatethefollowingqualicationrequirementsfor
the various areas of work:
• Instructed personnel
Duringabriengbytheoperator,suchpersonshavebeeninstructed
about tasks assigned to them and about potential dangers in the event
of improper action.
• Qualied personnel
are able to carry out the work assigned to them and independently
recognize potential risks due to their specialist training, knowledge, and
experience, as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations.
• Electrical specialists
are able to carry out work on electrical systems and independently
recognize potential risks due to their specialist training, knowledge, and
experience, as well as knowledge of the relevant standards and regula-
tions.
InGermany,electricalspecialistsmustmeetthespecicationsofthe
work safety regulation BGV A3 (e.g., master electrician). Other relevant
regulations applicable in other countries must be observed.
2.5 Operational safety and particular hazards
Please observe the safety notes and the warnings listed here and in other
chapters of these operating instructions to reduce the possibility of risks to
health and avoid dangerous situations.
2.6 Hazard warnings and operational safety
Light sender The PS30 pattern sensor is equipped with LED illumination. The sensor
meets the criteria of risk group 1 according to IEC 62471:2006.

Operating instructions Pattern sensors PS30
Setup and function
The PS30 pattern sensor is an opto-electronic sensor which detects recur-
ring patterns without making contact.
The principle of operation is based on a line sensor which constantly
searches for contrast differences and sharp edges in the print image (see
gure3).Theseclearareassignicantinthepatternareautomatically
selected by the sensor during the teach-in process. The points are in
exactly the same spot in the same image and contrast pattern. The sensor
evaluates grayscale.
A taught-in image is used as a reference for the subsequent detection of
a recurring contrast pattern. The print marks usually used for determining
positionarenolongernecessary.Theidenticationofapatternmatching
the reference pattern initiates a switching output.
Information about the speed of the material, e.g. from encoder pulses or
a motor feedback system, is necessary for operation of the PS30 pattern
sensor.
4.3 Operating modes
The PS30 pattern sensor can be operated in two operating modes:
a) Endless material
b) Single object.
4.3.1 Endless material operating mode
Exactdeterminationofpositionfordening,forinstance,thecutpositions
isnecessaryforfurtherprocessingofendlessmaterialssuchaslmand
paper webs, for example for creating labels and packaging with constant
repeat length. Typically, the target cut position is selected as the start point
of the reference image which is completed before the end of the repeat
length. The start point of the teach-in area is the position of the switching
signal.Shiftingoftheswitchingpointcanalsobecongured.

4.3.2 Single object operating mode
The position is to be determined by separate, repeating objects with
identicalpatternsbutnotwithxeddistances.Anobjectorasectionof
the object is taught in as a reference. The end of the teach-in area is used
as the position for output of the switching signal. Shifting of the switching
pointcanbedened.

Transport and storage
5 Transport and storage
5.1 Transport
Improper transport
WARNING!
Damage to the pattern sensor due to improper trans-
port.
Substantial material damage may result in the event of
improper transport.
For this reason:
• The distance measuring device should be transported
only by trained specialist staff.
• The utmost care and attention is required at all times
during unloading and transportation on company
premises.
• Note the symbols on the packaging.
• Do not remove packaging until immediately before you
