the programmed safety tasks, no reprogramming or manual downloading of configuration data. It’s a plug-and-play process that minimizes machine downtime.

Summary S300 Mini Standard safety laser scanners provide a robust alternative to safety

mats in Industry 4.0 factories, warehouses, and distribution centers that simultaneously maximize safety and productivity. They meet IEC 61508, ISO 13849, and IEC 61496 safety standards and are suitable for fixed installations and mobile platforms like AGVs. Finally, S300 Mini Standard safety laser scanners support flexible and rapid configuration, installation, and maintenance.

software also calculates and saves all configuration and diagnostic data for quick commissioning and/or efficient troubleshooting. Configuration and diagnostics can be implemented during commissioning or maintenance. SICK also offers a choice of mounting kits for physically attaching the S300 Mini safety laser scanners. Kit 1a, model 2034324, is the basic mounting bracket without a protective cover for the optics, and kit 1b, model 2034325, includes optics protection (Figure 5). In addition,

supplemental mounting brackets, including kit 2, model 2039302, and kit 3, model 2039303, can be added to align the scanners in two planes. The maximum adjustment angle is ±11° in both planes. The mounting kits also support quick replacement of damaged scanner heads. The replacement scanner head attaches to the system plug, which is permanently mounted on the machine. The replacement head immediately downloads the configuration data from the system plug and assumes
