due to their specialist training and experience have adequate knowledge of the power-
driven equipment to be checked
and
have been instructed by the responsible machine owner in the operation of the machine
and the current valid safety guidelines
and
are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and work safety regulations,
directives and generally recognized engineering practice (e.g. DIN standards, VDE
stipulations, engineering regulations from other EC member states) that they can assess
the work safety aspects of the power-driven equipment
and
who have access to these operating instructions and who have read them.
As a rule these are qualified safety personnel from the ESPE manufacturer or also those
persons who have been appropriately trained at the ESPE manufacturer, are primarily
involved in checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organization operating the
ESPE.

3.2 Function
The S3000 safety laser scanner operates correctly as a protective device only if the
following conditions are met:
The control of the machine, system or vehicle must be electrical.
It must be possible to transfer the dangerous state of the machine, the plant or the
vehicle to a safe state at any time using the OSSDs on the S3000 after integration in the
controller.
The S3000 must be mounted and configured such that it detects objects as they enter
the hazardous area (see chapter 5 “Mounting” on page 56).
3.2.1 Principles of operation
The S3000 is an optical sensor that scans its surroundings in two dimensions using
infrared laser beams. It is used to monitor a hazardous area on a machine or a vehicle.
The S3000 works on the principle of time of flight measurement .It sends out very short
pulses of light (S). At the same time an “electronic stopwatch” is started. When the light
hits an object, it is reflected and received by the safety laser scanner (E). From the time
between sending and reception (t) the S3000 calculates its distance to the object.
In the S3000 there is also a mirror rotating at constant speed that deflects the light
pulses such that they cover an arc of 190°. By determining the angle of rotation of the
mirror, the S3000 determines the direction of the object.
From the measured distance and the direction of the object, the safety laser scanner
determines the exact position of the object.

Product description
The S3000 uses light pulses precisely radiated in specific directions. Thus the safety laser
scanner does not continuously cover the area to be monitored. In this way resolutions of
between 30 mm and 150 mm are achieved.
Due to its active scanning principle, the S3000 does not require receivers or reflectors.
This has the following advantages:
Your installation effort is lower.
You can easily adapt the monitored area to the hazardous area on a machine.
In comparison with contact sensors, there is less wear when electro-sensitive scanning
is used.
3.2.2 Field set comprising of protective field and warning field
Protective field and warning field(s) form the so-called field set. You can configure these
field sets with the aid of the CDS. The fields can be configured as circular, rectangular or of
arbitrary shape. If the area to be monitored changes, then you can re-configure the S3000
in software without additional mounting effort.
Depending on the I/O module used (see section “I/O modules” on page 20) you can define
up to 32 different field sets and save these in the safety laser scanner. As a result you can
(except on the S3000 Standard) switch to a different field set in case of a change in the
monitoring situation (see section 3.2.3 “Monitoring cases” on page 18).

Product description
Dual field mode
On all S3000 you can configure field sets that comprise two fields, aprotective field and a
warning field.
The protective field secures the hazardous area on a machine or vehicle. As soon as the
safety laser scanner detects an object in the protective field, the S3000 switches the
OSSDs to the off status and thus initiates the shutdown of the machine or stop of the
vehicle.
You can define the warning field such that the safety laser scanner detects an object
before the actual hazardous area and e.g. triggers a warning signal.
Triple field mode of the S3000 Expert and S3000 Remote
On the Expert and Remote variants you can define field sets with three fields. These field
sets comprise one protective field and two warning fields.Warning field 1 can be used in
particular for vehicle protection to detect an object even before the actual hazardous area
and to slowly retard the movement of the vehicle or bring it to a standstill. In this way the
wear on the brakes on an AGV can be reduced. Warning field 2 can also be used to trigger
awarning signal. The protective field secures the hazardous area of the vehicle.

3.2.3 Monitoring cases
Depending on the I/O module used (see section “I/O modules” on page 20) up to 32
monitoring cases can be defined and selected during operation using local static or
dynamic control inputs or via EFI. In this way process-dependent hazardous area
protection or velocity-dependent vehicle monitoring is possible for example.
Simultaneous monitoring
Within a monitoring case, the S3000 can monitor two field sets simultaneously (e.g.
hazardous area on the left and hazardous area on the right). In conjunction with a Flexi
Soft safety controller, which provides two pairs of OSSD, e.g. two machines can be
protected independently of each other using only one S3000.
Monitoring possibilities with the S3000 Expert
Depending on the field mode selected, on the S3000 Expert, it is possible to either
simultaneously monitor two field sets (dual field mode) or monitor one field set with one
protective field and two warning fields (triple field mode).

Product description
Sensor heads
The sensor heads differ in the maximum scanning range and the resulting size of the
protective field.
The protective field ranges are the maximum achievable radial distances from the safety
laser scanner. They are achieved in applications with a resolution of 70 mm and coarser. If
rectangular protective fields are configured, then the maximum protective field range is
reached in the corners of the protective field.
I/O modules
Five I/O modules are available for the S3000. With the aid of these I/O modules, the
S3000 covers the various application areas.
