Attachment and Dimensions
For attaching the SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner, four drill holes are located at the back
of the unit. Any laser scanner installation point is possible with mounting. The SIMATIC
FS600 Laser Scanner can, for example, also be mounted on the head or inclined facing
down.
The mounting set 3RG7838-1AA is available as an accessory offering following
advantages:
•
Speeds up the mounting process by providing screws that are accessible from the
front.
•
Allows vertical inclinations of up to 9°, either up or down, infinitely adjustable within
this range.
•
Allows lateral tilting of up to approx. 9° to either side from the midpoint setting,
infinitely adjustable within this range.
•
Enables quick replacement of the scanner without requiring realignment.
For information on which parts and dimensions are required for mounting, please refer
to Chapter 14.13 and 14.14.
5.2
Installing adjacent laser scanners
The SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner has been developed in a way that prevents several
laser scanners from interfering with one other as much as possible.
5.2.1
Constructive measures
The direct external light irradiation from laser scanners of the same kind (905 nm laser
light wavelength) in a line and at the same installation height can be prevented with
shielding plates at scan level. Shielding, as high as the scanner front screen and flush
with the front housing edge, is sufficient. The same also applies with installation in
vertical alignment and overlapping of the scan levels.
WARNING
An increase in the response time can, however, be caused by the installation of several
adjacent laser scanners. If
none
of the constructive measures (section 5.2.1) described
in the following sections or the specific adjustment (section 5.2.2) are implemented,
then the SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner response time set and shown in the
configuration and diagnosis software (SIMATIC FS600 Parameterization
Software LS4soft) is extended by 40 ms.
This extension in the response time MUST
be taken into account when calculating the safety distance!
