Replacing the safety laser scanner without system plug
Overview
In many cases, you can reuse the existing bracket and the existing system plug. Detach
the defective safety laser scanner from the bracket and the system plug. Then, mount
the new safety laser scanner on the bracket and the system plug. When the new safety
laser scanner is switched on for the first time, it reads the configuration from the
system plug and can be used without having to be reconfigured.
Approach
1.
Make sure that the environment is clean and clear of fog, moisture, and dust.
2.
Unscrew screws in the system plug and remove the system plug from the defective
safety laser scanner.
3.
Unscrew the fixing screws and remove the defective safety laser scanner.
4.
Mount the system plug on the new safety laser scanner,
5.
Mount the new safety laser scanner,
.
6.
Check the effectiveness of the protective device.
°
Generally, the protective device is checked exactly as during commissioning,
see "Check during commissioning and modifications", page 105
.
°
If, during project planning, the possible tolerances of the devices have been
considered and it is ensured that neither the configuration nor the wiring or
the alignment of the safety laser scanner have been changed, a function test
is sufficient,
see "Thorough check of the principal function of the protective
Complementary information
In certain cases, you can no longer log into the device with Safety Designer after device
exchange.
6)
If you would like to log into the device, e.g. to change the configuration,
you have to reset the password with help from SICK. The device works with the existing
configuration even without changing the password.
In certain cases (in the event of dust, high air humidity), it may make sense not
to initially disconnect the system plug and the safety laser scanner. In these cases,
proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect the connecting cables to the system plug.
2.
Unscrew screws from the bracket and remove the defective safety laser scanner
from the bracket.
3.
Move the safety laser scanner with the system plug to a clean location (e.g. office,
maintenance areas).
4.
Unscrew screws in the system plug and remove the system plug from the defective
safety laser scanner.
5.
See above for further steps.

This case can only occur if you replace a device with old rights management with a device with new rights management or vice versa.
Devices with newer functional scope use the new rights management.
