CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Laser Sentinel is an electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE). It employs active opto-electronic protective devices responsive to the diffuse reflection of a radiation (AOPDDRs), according to the definition and requirements of international safety stan- dard IEC 61496-3.
GENERAL INFORMATION REFERENCE STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS The safety laser scanner is a safety system used as an accident-prevention protection device and is manufactured in accordance with the international Standards in force for safety, in particular: STANDARD DESCRIPTION Harmonisation of the laws of the Member States 2014/30/EU EMC Directive relating to electromagnetic compatibility.
As the required knowledge may not be completely included in this manual, we suggest contacting Datalogic Technical Service for any further information relative to the func- tioning of the safety laser scanner and the safety rules that regulate the correct installa-...
This area cannot be used for safety pur- poses. The possible applications to employ the Laser Sentinel are: Horizontal (to monitor an area that must be crossed in order to reach the hazardous point) and Vertical (to moni- tor an access point).
The device uses a horizontal protective field (the red area in the figures) to detect the presence of an object or a person. The Laser Sentinel will scan the environment surrounding the hazardous point to detect approaching objects or people. If someone is detected in the safety zone (with a given detection capability), a stopping signal is sent to the machine by the device.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS VERTICAL APPLICATION CONFIGURATION Figure 3 - Vertical application The device uses a vertical protective field (the red area in the figure) to detect someone passing through it. In this example the only way to reach the hazardous point is to pass through an open- ing: all other access points to the machine are protected by some physical barrier or other sensors.
The Laser Sentinel can effectively solve this situation: irrespective of the use in horizon- tal or vertical position, up to 4 Laser Sentinel units can be easily connected to each other through Ethernet-based safe communication bus, working as a single system.
(e.g. motor power supplies, inverters, etc.). • Do not connect any of the Laser Sentinel inputs to DC power sources outside of the declared range or to any AC power source, to avoid the risk of electric shock. SAFERY LASER SCANNER...
Page 27
• Every access to the configuration tools must be allowed only to restricted and highly qualified personnel. The configuration upload through the GUI is only allowed by password. • Periodically monitor the optical window during the entire product life-cycle check- ing for any damage, scratches or dirt spots.
• The safety laser scanner must be mounted securely and must not be able to be moved. • Make sure that the Laser Sentinel output window is not obstructed by any object. SAFERY LASER SCANNER...
GETTING STARTED Here are the basic steps to start a safety configuration. • Package Contents: Check that the Laser Sentinel and all parts supplied with the equipment are present and intact when opening the packaging (refer to " Package Contents" on page 3 •...
INSTALLATION Light Interference Reflecting surfaces located near the safety device may cause passive reflections. These can affect the detection of an object inside the safety zone. The passive light sources can be an incandescent lamp, sunlight, a fluorescent light, a strobe light or other infra- red light sources (e.g.
If there is a high reflecting background within 3 meters of the safety zone boundary, e.g. a metallic glossy surface, the Laser Sentinel might fail to recognize the exact distance of the detected object because of an increase in the measure error.
INSTALLATION ZONE WITH LIMITED DETECTION CAPABILITY Laser Sentinel may not properly detect an object located at a distance of 10 cm or less from the safety zone origin. This zone is called “zone with limited detection capability.” In this circumstance, a risk assessment is recommended taking into account the possi- bility that an object can cross a zone with limited detection capability.
DEVICE POSITIONING AND MINIMUM DISTANCE CALCULATIONS The Laser Sentinel must be carefully positioned to fulfill its safety function. In fact, access to the dangerous area must only be possible by passing through the safety zone. Under standard operating conditions, starting the machine must not be possible while operators are inside the safety area.
INSTALLATION Minimum Safety Distance Calculations for Horizontal Applications The Minimum Safety Distance cannot exceed the nominal maximum limit of the Safety Zone for the scanner (5.5 m). NOTE If the device is mounted with a detection angle of less than 30° with respect to the hori- zontal plane (floor), the application is considered horizontal (parallel approach).
Page 35
Example of additional distance due to Height: With a given machine stopping time of 0.4 s and a selected Laser Sentinel Response Time of 62 ms, detection capability = 70 mm and without any ambient interference: S = [(1600 mm/s*(0.062 s+0.4 s)] + [(1200 mm –...
Page 36
INSTALLATION Example of additional distance due to Ambient Interference: From the previous example with a height of 300 mm, but in the presence of high reflec- tive backgrounds and/or direct bright light: Minimum safety distance S - C = [(1600 mm/s*(0.062 s + 0.4 s)] + (1080 mm + 100 mm) = 1919.2 AMBIENT INTERF = 200 mm for “dust filter level”...
K = 1600 mm/s or 2000 mm/s (see Note) T = t C = 8(d -14 mm) or 850 mm (see Note) = Response time of the Laser Sentinel (s) (see " Response Time and Scan Cycle Setting" on page 62...

UNPROTECTED ZONE UNPROTECTED ZONE The unprotected zone (a) must be small enough to ensure that a person cannot approach the danger zone or stay between the danger zone and the safety zone without being detected. This can require additional mechanical protection. Figure 8 - Safety Distance Example (Top View) Figure 9 - Safety Distance Example (Side View) INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
INSTALLATION DISTANCE TO WALL The Safety Zone must maintain a tolerance of at least 40 mm from any wall or fixed object (a and b in the image above). This value is generally enough to guarantee normal operation, however accord- NOTE ing to the real reflectance characteristics of the wall, a higher value may be necessary.
Specific mounting requirements must be followed to prevent a dangerous failure. • Tilt the Laser Sentinel so that the scanning plane does not enter the output win- dow of any other scanner. Figure 10 - Scanner mounted ad different scanning angles •...

INSTALLATION • Install a shielding plate to block scanning signal interference. Figure 12 - Shielding plate between scanners • Make the safety area smaller. SAFERY LASER SCANNER...
To test the detection capability of the device(s), the user can use a suitable test piece, e.g. an optically dark, opaque cylinder. The effective diameter should match the configured resolution. Datalogic suggests adopting the following procedure: Place the test piece on several points at the edges of the safety area. The safety laser scanner must detect the test piece at each position and go to STOP.
Page 44
Test the device by triggering the safety function, e.g. the machine builder can observe the reaction of the OSSDs. • For all device applications: check if the Laser Sentinel shows the interruption of the safety field using the LEDs and/or the display. •...
CHAPTER 5 MECHANICAL MOUNTING For mechanical mounting, the Laser Sentinel has two different procedures depending on the operation necessities. The two mounting possibilities are: • direct mounting, OR • angle adjustment bracket mounting (if the pitch and the roll angles need to be adjusted).
MECHANICAL MOUNTING DIRECT MOUNTING The device has two M5 threaded holes on the back and four M5 threaded holes on the side. For direct mounting, use both M5 threaded holes in the back or all four M5 threaded holes on the two sides, considering the following values: •...
MECHANICAL MOUNTING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT BRACKET MOUNTING First, provide two M5 holes with 73 mm spacing on the intended wall or mounting sur- face. The M5 UNI 5933 screws used for mounting the brackets to a wall are not supplied in the SLS bracket mounting kits; they must be supplied by the user.
ANGLE ADJUSTMENT BRACKET MOUNTING Pitch Angle Adjustment Bracket (SLS-BRACKET-B) Mount the pitch adjustment bracket (3) to the wall or panel by inserting two M5 UNI 5933 screws (not included), and tighten them, repeatedly alternating between one and the other, until they are completely tight. Figure 5 - Pitch Angle Adjustment Bracket INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
MECHANICAL MOUNTING SCANNER MOUNTING AND PITCH ANGLE ADJUSTMENT Make sure to use the specific Torques indicated for the different proce- dures to avoid damaging the device permanently. CAUTION The pitch angle adjustment is a procedure related to both SLS-BRACKET-A and SLS-BRACKET-B. NOTE The Positioning Memory Bracket (one piece) (8) saves the inclination angle set for the installation.

MECHANICAL MOUNTING The memory group is tightened to the scanner with captive screws, so the operator only needs to loosen them to extract it from the scanner. NOTE 4. Connect the power M12 8/12/17-pole connector (according to model). 5. Insert the memory group and tighten the two M3 fixing screws (Torque 1 N/m). 6.
SAFETY INFORMATION REGARDING MOUNTING SAFETY INFORMATION REGARDING MOUNTING Make sure that the protection level assured by the Laser Sentinel is compatible with the danger level of the working machine, according to EN ISO 13849-1 or EN 62061. For further information refer to Chapter 4, Installation .
CHAPTER 6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS LASER SENTINEL STAND ALONE MODEL CONNECTORS The Laser Sentinel Stand Alone model includes: M12 4-pole connector (Programming and monitoring of safety laser scanner with Graphic User Interface) M12 8-pole connector (Machine interface: power supply and inputs/outputs)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MASTER SLAVE SYSTEM CONNECTION The Laser Sentinel series includes various models that differ in some features, such as electrical configuration and connection type. There are two main safety laser scanner models: the Master (that can be used individu- ally or to run other slave devices) and the Slave (that must be connected to a Master and has only a particular connection to be connected to its Ethernet network).
Through the GUI, the user can choose the type of configuration. The operator must fol- low the indications for the type of pin selected and the safety standards. Input and output connected to the Laser Sentinel must be aligned with the features of the used pin.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Master M12 12-Pole Connector The M12 12-pole Master model has various pin typologies. The features of all the elec- trical pins are showed in the chart below. Figure 3 - Connector (M12, 12-pole Male) CATEGORY TYPE COLOR DESCRIPTION PIN OUT POWER SUPPLY BROWN...

Page 66
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Multi In/Out (17 pole and 17+8 pole models) The Multi In/Out are signals that can be configured both as inputs and outputs. Laser Sentinel allows the operator to connect from one to three OSSD pairs; it is possible to assign to the same electrical pin input and output signals defined as Multi In or Multi Out.
LASER SENTINEL: THE SLAVE LASER SENTINEL: THE SLAVE To create the Laser Sentinel network, the operator has to connect the Slave devices. These are equipped with rotatable side connectors for the input and output connection and will receive data and power supply from the previous devices which in turn will send it to the others.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MASTER SLAVE CONNECTION Connection cables are listed in " and " Ethernet Cables" on page 125 Electrical Cables" on page 125 Do not reverse the connections: it may cause malfunctions! CAUTION A label on the rotating connector helps the user identify the right connec- tion.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS All power connections to the Laser Sentinel must strictly comply with standard regula- tions. The device requires a supply voltage of 24 Vdc. Power must be supplied in accor- dance with SELV/PELV (IEC 60204-1) for all the devices electrically connected to the safety laser scanner.
LASER SENTINEL SETUP AND CONFIGURATION This chapter is dedicated to the Laser Sentinel setup and configuration using the DLSen- tinel software. The aim of this chapter is to guide the user through all the fundamental procedures of configuring the device.
When the installation is complete, the DLSentinel entry is created in the Start > All Pro- grams menu under “Datalogic” along with a desktop icon. Double-click the desktop icon to run it. A dedicated computer running DLSentinel must be connected to a Safety Laser Scanner through the Ethernet port to perform the configuration and monitoring features.
Laser Sentinel and no input signals are needed to manage it. Laser Sentinel allows the user to set up a given number of Zone Sets: a maximum of six Zone Sets for the Stand Alone model, a maximum of three Zone Sets for the 8-pole Mas- ter model, a maximum of ten Zone Sets for the 12-pole Master model, and a maximum of seventy Zone Sets for the 17+8 pole Master model.
ZONE SETTING CONFIGURATION AND SELECTION • Define the input combinations. • Make sure that the system, which generates the input combination, can dynami- cally switch the state of the inputs within the required time and without passing through intermediate invalid combination states. It is possible to insert a delay up to 100 ms for the input switching (INPUT DELAY) to guarantee the correct timing during the Area Switching.
Page 74
NOTE 3. Assign each Area Switch to an available Input Signal Pin. The Stand Alone Laser Sentinel has three configurable Inputs. If the user chooses to employ from three to six Zone Sets there will be no available I/ O for other functions. For example, it will not be possible to employ the NOTE Manual Restart or send an electrical warning signal.
Page 75
ZONE SETTING CONFIGURATION AND SELECTION The following figure shows the possible input combinations in case of six Zone Sets. Figure 3 - Six Zone Sets (Stand Alone model) M12 12-pole Master model: 10 Zone Sets The M12 12-pole Master model can monitor up to 10 different areas. To do that, the user must configure the input combination by selecting the signal “Area Switch”, set five inputs as Area Switch and then create a sequence of univocal combinations as described above.
Page 76
FUNCTIONS M12 17+8 pole Master model: 70 Zone Sets The M12 17+8 pole Master model can monitor up to 70 different areas. To do that: 1. Set the Zone Set No. to “70”. 70 Zone Sets will appear with their relative Area Switch combinations.
The detection capability is the ability to detect an object of given dimensions within the detection zone. In particular, for the Laser Sentinel, the test piece taken as reference is an opaque cylinder with at least 300mm height and the diameter equal to the detection capability measured in millimeters.
FUNCTIONS AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL RESTART If Laser Sentinel detects an opaque object, the OSSD outputs switch to the OFF-status (the opening of the safety contacts). The restart mode allows the safety laser scanner to return to a normal operating condition.
Page 79
AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL RESTART The Manual Restart input must be connected to a 24 Vdc normally open contact. NOTE If an object is not removed from the Safety zone and the operator attempts to restart the device, by pressing the button for more than 500 ms, the Safety Laser Scanner remains in Interlock OFF status.
The response time of the Laser Sentinel is the time from when an object enters the safety zone to when the OSSD goes to the OFF-status due to the detection of the object. The Laser Sentinel scans cyclically with a constant speed and it employs 30 ms to do one complete rotation.
Example application for movable structure protection When the reference points (minimum 3), are set on the position of a movable structure, such as a door, the OSSD goes to the OFF-state if the Laser Sentinel detects a change in the position of the door.
Page 82
GUI gives a warning message indicating that this configuration is not valid for whole body protection applications (greater than 1.6 m/s). To safely apply the Laser Sentinel in applications with normal approach (i.e. when the monitored plane is vertical), refer to IEC 61496-3 Annex A.12.
SAFETY OUTPUTS (OSSDS) SAFETY OUTPUTS (OSSDs) The OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) is a safety output for safety-related parts of a machine control system. When the device detects an object or a person in the Safety zone, the OSSD goes to the OFF-status (the machine stops). The device generates signals to monitor the OSSD status and these periodically force the OSSD into a temporary OFF condition if the OSSD is ON (when there is no object detected in the Safety zone).
FUNCTIONS OSSD 1/1 must be paired with OSSD 1/2. OSSD 2/1 must be paired with OSSD 2/2. OSSD 3/1 must be paired with OSSD 3/2. NOTE OSSD test The following diagram illustrates the different times needed for OSSD tests. Figure 13 - OSSD test Where: s T1 (Test pulse width) = 115...
MUTING MUTING The Muting feature allows the automatic deactivation of the safety status on the whole (Total Muting) or part (Partial Muting) of the safety area. This feature is particularly suit- able when an object, but not a person, has to pass through the dangerous area. This allows carrying out definite cyclical operations without blocking a working machine.
FUNCTIONS Muting Enable When the Muting feature is implemented (through two Muting inputs), a third input can be used to dynamically control whether Muting will be performed or not. The third input is labeled MUTING ENABLE and works as follows: prior to a valid Muting sequence on the Muting inputs, if the MUTING ENABLE signal is at a high level, the Muting feature is enabled, and Muting will be performed;...
Page 87
MUTING The sensors A1/A2 are connected to Muting 1 input and the sensors B1/B2 are con- nected to Muting 2 input. The user has to mount the sensors A1/A2 or B1/B2 at a “D” distance. “D” depends on the package length (L): D < L; “d1” is the maximum dis- tance between the Muting sensors (this distance depends on the package speed (V): d1max[cm] = V[m/s] * T12[s] * 100);...
FUNCTIONS Unidirectional Muting In Unidirectional type operation, the device enters in Muting if the Muting 2 input goes high after the rising of Muting 1 (or vice versa). The user can set the value of Max Mut- ing Inputs Delay between Muting 1 and Muting 2 from a minimum of 1 sec to a maxi- mum of 16 sec.
MUTING Configuring the Muting Function on DLSentinel To enable the Muting function on DLSentinel and configure the Muting area, follow the procedure below: 1. On the Output Configuration page, set the Muting item to ENABLED. 2. On the Input Configuration page, assign the Muting signals to the available pins. INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
Page 90
FUNCTIONS 3. On the Zones Configuration page, first draw your Safety Area, then click on the Muting 1 label in the panel on the left side. A warning message is displayed informing the user that any change to the Safety Area will remove the Muting zone.
Page 91
MUTING 5. If a Total Muting zone was created, the Muting zone (colored blue) will overlap the Safety Area, as illustrated in the picture below. A Total Muting zone can be turned into a Partial Muting zone by dragging and dropping the points of the shape.
Muting Dependent Override in Stand Alone Model The Override feature is possible when the Laser Sentinel is in the SAFE state (detection in the Safety Zone) and allows the user to force the OSSDs to ON state whenever it is necessary to restart the machine.
Page 93
OVERRIDE Single input line pattern The input sequence to be followed for activation is indicated in the figure below: Level triggered pattern The input sequence to be followed for activation is indicated in the figure below: Edge triggered pattern The input sequence to be followed for activation is indicated in the figure below: The Level and the Edge triggered patterns can be enabled with the M12 12 or 17-pole Master connector only.
FUNCTIONS The External Device Monitoring (EDM) function controls external devices by verifying the OSSDs status. EDM enabled When EDM is enabled it is necessary to connect the EDM input to a 24 VDC normally- closed contact of the device to be monitored. The figures below show how to connect the EDM input.
Page 95
The function controls the 24VDC normally-closed contact switching according to the changes of the OSSDs status. Figure 17 - EDM timings The EDM status is antivalent with OSSDs: the timing diagram explains the relationship between the cause (OSSDs) and the effect (EDM) with the maximum permissible delay. DLSentinel makes it possible to adjust the maximum permissible delay between 200 and 1000 ms.
FUNCTIONS ENCODERS In dynamic applications, the safety area can change according to the position, direction, and speed of the vehicle. A typical example is the use of the Safety Laser Scanner on an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). If the speed changes, the minimum safety distance changes accordingly (the faster the movement, the longer the distance).
Page 97
ENCODERS To configure the necessary zone sets for a dynamic application, enable the encoder function in the Zone Set configuration page on DLSentinel. Input Delay Max [msec] This parameter is valid when there are at least two Zone Sets. It determines the delay to apply between switching from one Zone Set to the next.
Page 98
FUNCTIONS • If the vehicle speed is in the range between -30 cm/s and -10 cm/s or +10 cm/s and +30 cm/s, the Encoder Δ can be exceeded for max. 60 s. • If the vehicle speed is in the range ≤ -30 cm/s or ≥ +30 cm/s, the Encoder Δ can be exceeded for max.
Page 99
ENCODERS In the example above, the EncR value is 10,000 / 125.66 = 79.58 p/cm. Therefore, on DLSentinel the rounded value “80” must be entered in the relevant Encoder [p/cm] field. The software will calculate the max. allowed speed based on this data. After setting the encoder values, the Zone Sets must be configured.
Page 100
FUNCTIONS Encoder 2 ratio = 60 p/cm 2 = 100,000 / 60 = 1,667 cm/s 2 = - 100,000 / 60 = - 1,667 cm/s Therefore, the maximum and minimum speeds that the Safety Laser Scanner can read equal respectively 1,667 cm/s and -1,667 cm/s. The Speed Ranges of each Zone Set can- not exceed these values.
A High Dust Filter Level is used in dirty environments to filter (ignore) detection of air- borne particles from being confused with objects to detect. The Laser Sentinel is less sensitive to dust and therefore avoids shutting down the machinery unnecessarily.
FUNCTIONS SHUT OFF The Shut Off function allows energy saving, which can be particularly useful when the Safety Laser Scanner is used in battery-powered applications (e.g. AGV). When the Safety Laser Scanner is in Shut Off status, some of its functions are deacti- vated, but the device is still active and ready to restore to normal operation when needed.
RESET RESET Reset is a function that allows restoring normal operation after a failure lockout condi- tion, due to system error, without disconnecting the power supply. The aim of the Reset is to return the system to a power-on phase, by resetting all the variables and starting a new integrity test session.
FUNCTIONS WINK Wink is a function that allows recognizing which device is to be configured from those available on the Network. The Wink function can be activated through the discovery by clicking on the wink but- ton, and then the Wink icon will be displayed.

APPENDIX D GLOSSARY NAME DESCRIPTION Active opto-electronic A device whose sensing function is performed by optoelectronic protective device emitting and receiving elements. These detect the diffuse reflec- responsive to diffuse tion of optical radiations generated within the device by an reflection (AOPDDR) object located in a detection zone (specified in two dimensions).

A High Dust Filter Level is used in dirty environments to filter (ignore) detection of airborne particles from being confused with objects to detect. The Laser Sentinel is less sensitive to Dust Filtering dust and therefore avoids shutting down the machinery unnec- essarily.
Page 147
This number depends on the parameter set in the configuration. State in which the output circuit is interrupted and does not per- mit the flow of current. When Laser Sentinel detects an object in OFF-state the safety zone it switches to this state which causes the dan- gerous machinery to stop working.
Page 148
This is the area around the Safety Zone; the device can signal a Warning Zone warning lamp or siren if it detects an object in this area. This is an area (zone) that is controlled by the Laser Sentinel. Zone Set More than one zone can be defined and therefore switched (set) by a combination of inputs.
