2.8.2 Safety and Warning ZonesThe software makes it easy to establish Safety and Warning Zones. The Safety Zone and the Warning Zone are user-defined areas that the Scanner monitors. An intrusion into the Safety Zone (such as a person walking into a monitored workcell) causes the SX5 to turn its safety outputs off. An intrusion into the Warning Zone causes the SX5 to create a warningsignal.Safety Zone and Warning Zone settings are created and saved as zone sets. Up to 6 configurable zone sets are availablefor the SX5. Zone sets can be enabled or disabled, one set at a time, while the SX5 is operational and actively monitoring awork area. This function is useful when changing machine guarding requirements create the need for changes in SafetyZone and Warning Zone dimensions.2.8.3 Monitored Space DisplayWhen the SX5 is actively monitoring an area, it measures the distance to, and the angular position of, objects in the area.These measurement data are transferred via an Ethernet connection to the PC when the Monitoring function is selected.The software uses this data to constantly update the display to show the Safety Zone and Warning Zone along with themeasured surfaces of the monitored area.Figure 12.
