Chapter 4 Configurable functions
The OSSDs on the SafeZone Mini change to the OFF state or the SafeZone Mini Remote signals if …
•
There is an object in the protective field.
• The monitored surrounding contour is no longer in the tolerance band (e.g. if the position of the SafeZone Mini is
changed).
Notes • 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, e.g.,
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.
Vertical operation
In vertical operation (for access protection and hazardous point protection) according to CLC/TS 61496­3 you must always
configure the protective fields used with the contour as reference function.

Recommendation Use lateral, vertical boundaries of the opening (e.g. door frame) and the floor as reference. If in this case the position of the
SafeZone Mini is changed in one or more planes, the distance to the reference changes and the SafeZone Mini switches its
OSSDs to the OFF state.
Monitoring cases The SafeZone Mini supports a configuration with monitoring cases.
Ensure for each monitoring case that the minimum distance to the hazardous area is maintained!
See Chapter 5, “Mounting” on page 24.
You can configure the monitoring cases in the SCD software.
Each monitoring case includes …
•
The input conditions, the so-called control signals, that control the activation of the monitoring case.
• A field set, comprising of protective field and warning field or fields.
• The multiple sampling for the field set.
Monitoring cases can be switched with the following input information:
•
Static information
