The OS2000 combines the hardware and software of the Outdoor Laser Measurement System (LMS) with the safety level of the UE4470 safe programmable logic controller.
The unit can be used for door and gate protection, cranes, manned and unmanned vehicles, waterway structures and rail or conveyor systems.
The monitoring and test signals emitted by up to three LMS units are evaluated by the UE4470 safety network controller.
The controller is certified as Safety Category 4 (EN 954-1) and SIL 3 (IEC 61508). It handles the machine-side connection, controls the LMS units, evaluates their output signals, and controls the cyclical testing of the sensors
The system's LMS sensor is used in outdoor applications such as collision prevention or building security. This means the OS2000 can be used wherever a hazardous area requires outdoor monitoring.
IP67-protected laser scanners with scanning angles of 100 degrees or 180 degrees are available, depending on the application. They can be used in environmental temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees Celsius.
The protective fields can be parameterised and evaluated as desired within the safety-oriented range of 20 metres.
The UE4470 can also carry out additional safety functions such as emergency stops, and process the signals from the automation system of a machine or vehicle. Safe integration in a fieldbus system is also possible.
