• Equation (1) S = K × T + C
S: | Safety distance (mm) Minimum required distance between the sensing area plane and the dangerous part of the machine |
---|---|
K: | Intrusion speed of person or object (mm/sec.) Normally 2,000 (mm/sec.) is used. |
T: | Response time of overall system T = Tm + TSF4D Tm: Maximum response time of machine (sec.) TSF4D: Response time of device (sec.) |
C: | Additional distance calculated from the minimum sensing object of the device (mm) The value of C cannot be less than 0. C = 8 × (d − 14) d: Diameter of minimum sensing object (mm) |
・ | When calculating the safety distance S, the following five cases must be considered. First calculate using K = 2,000 (mm/sec.) in the above equation. Consider these three cases for the result: 1) S < 100, 2) 100 ≤ S ≤ 500, and 3) S > 500. If the result of the calculation is 3) S > 500, calculate again using K = 1,600 (mm/sec.). Consider these two cases for the result: 4) S ≤500 and 5) S > 500. For details, refer to the manual. |
---|---|
・ | When the device is used in "PSDI mode", an appropriate safety distance S must be calculated. For details, refer to the standards and regulations that apply in your region or country. |
• Equation S = K × T + C
S: | Safety distance (mm) Minimum required distance between the sensing area plane and the nearest dangerous part of the machine |

T: | Overall response time of system T = Tm + TSF4D Tm: Maximum response time of machine (sec.) TSF4D: Response time of device (sec.) |
C: | Additional distance calculated from the minimum sensing object of the device (mm) C = 850 (mm) (Constant) |
