6 Configuration Instructions
6.1 System Configuration Settings
The Scanner must be configured by the user to satisfy the requirements of your application.
Use the SX's configuration software to establish the SX operating parameters. Download the configuration software from
The software is the SX's configuration tool, providing several important advantages:
•
Intuitive Graphical User Interface for rapid configuration
•
Defined configuration directly stored in the device
•
Discovery and IP address setting features to facilitate remote configuration
•
Device Monitoring
The software can be used with a SX connected or offline (without a SX). A configuration can be saved and downloaded to a
SX at a later time.
6.1.1 Response Time and Scan Cycle Setting
The response time of the scanner is the time from when an object enters the Safety Zone to when the OSSD goes to the
OFF state. The scanner scans cyclically with a constant speed and it requires 30 ms to complete one rotation.
The minimum response time of the scanner is 62 ms, which is the time needed by the scanner to make two rotations (scans).
Select the number of scans (and therefore the response time) using the configuration software. The user may enter response
times from 62 to 1202 ms (482 ms for the SX5-B model) in 30 ms increments by changing the number of scans from 2 to 40
(16 for the SX5-B model).
Adding remote scanners to the configuration affects the response time. Each remote scanner adds 10 ms to the response
time for that scanner. A system with a Master and one remote scanner results is a best response time of 72 ms for the
remote and 62 ms for the master.
Increase the number of scans if the scanner is operating in a dirty environment caused by floating dust particles (here the
user may need to collect more data, experiment, to prevent inadvertent OSSD off signals from dust).
CAUTION:
If the application requires changing the response time, the configuration may require changes
to the Safety Zone (making it bigger) or changes in the scanner installation.
Default setting: 62 ms (2 scans)
6.1.2 Automatic or Manual Start/Restart
Depending on the number of zone sets being used in the configuration, the Qualified Person can select an Automatic Start/
Restart (trip output) or a Manual Start/Restart (latch output). This setting determines if the SX enters Run mode automatically
or if a manual reset is required first.
Select automatic or manual start/restart using the configuration software.
If Automatic Start/Restart is selected
, the OSSD outputs turn on after power is applied, and the SX passes its internal self-
test and recognizes that the Safety Zone is clear. The OSSD outputs also turn on after the Safety zone clears following a
blockage. When the SX is set for Automatic Start/Restart, other measures must be taken to prevent a pass-through hazard.
For mobile applications, ISO 3691-4 requires a two (2) second restart delay after the Safety Zone becomes clear before the
OSSDs turn back on. This delay is meant to allow an individual to fully clear the area protected by the scanner. For mobile
applications, set the Recovery Time for at least 2000 ms.
If Manual Start/Restart is selected
, the SX requires a manual reset for the OSSD outputs to turn on when power is applied
and the safety zone is clear. The manual Restart switch must be pressed for at least 500 ms.
WARNING:
•
Use of automatic (trip) or manual (latch) start/restart
•
Failure to follow these instructions could result in a serious injury or death.
•
Applying power to the Banner Engineering Corp. device, clearing the defined area, or resetting a
latch condition must not initiate dangerous machine motion. Design the machine control circuitry
so that one or more initiation devices must be engaged to start the machine (a conscious act), in
addition to the Banner Engineering Corp. device going into Run mode.
