5 Configuration
Through the C
onfiguration page, the user can configure the safeRS, choosing between
the linear configuration (i.e. all the sensor placed along a line in order to create a linear
barrier and unique alarm and pre-alarm depths for the whole safeRS) and the manual
configuration (free placement of the sensors and specific alarm and pre-alarm depths for
each sensor).
5.1 Linear configuration
Below, the correct procedure to follow in order to configure the system is described:
1.
Set the Barrier Length in the right side of the Configuration page.
2. Determine the functions of the system needed to protect the area: stopping func‐
tion, restart function or both of them). According to this choice, the blind spots
allowed are different and, consequently, even the position of the sensors change.
3. Determine the installation height (H) and the tilt angle, i.e. the inclination, (I) of the
sensors.
4. Compute the dangerous area and the alarm depth (S) of the system as indicated
in standards ISO 13855 and ISO 13857, using the chosen height and installation
of the sensors:
where
°
K is t
he maximum dangerous area access speed in [mm/s] (always 1600)
°
T is the total system stopping time in [ms] (safeRS, i.e. 100ms, + machinery,
calculated in accordance with standard ISO 13855)
°
Ch is a constant in [mm] that takes into account the sensor installation
height
(H) according to standard ISO 13855
Ch = 1200 - 0.4*H
Its minimum allowed value is 850mm.
°
Ci is a constant in [mm] that takes into account the sensor installation incli‐
nation (I)
if H < 500 → Ci = (20 - I)*16
otherwise → Ci = (-I)*16
Its minimum allowed value is 0 mm.
Please see the operating instructions "safeRS" for more details and examples.
5. Set the Alar
m Depth in the Configuration page, once it has checked that it is not lower
than the value S previously computed with the formula. Please keep in mind that,
in order to ensure the safety of the area, it is not possible to set the alarm depth in
the software without its computation with the certified formula.
6. Set the Pre-Alarm Depth, if used, in the Configuration page.
7. Look at the Result Values on the screen and choose one of the linear configurations
suggested by the application.
8. Click on Apply Changes to commit the new configuration on the controller.
5.2 Manual configuration
With the manual c
onfiguration, it is possible to:

After selecting the image with the pointer of the mouse, you can use the “drag and
dr
op” method to move it into the available space or you can also change the val‐
ues on the right side of the screen to move, rotate and scale it. In order to resize it
correctly, just compare its real dimension with the ruler on the screen and then
scale it properly. Please note that, in case of need, you can even scale the whole
space available by changing the layout values on the right.
At this point, you can add more sensors (up to six) to the configuration and change
t
heir settings (alarm and pre-alarm depths, rotation, …) to better suit your needs.

3. Remember to click on Apply Changes to commit them to the controller.
5.3 The Apply changes button
In order to commit the changes to the controller and have them applied to the safeRS,
it is im
portant to click on Apply changes on the right side of the top bar.
Please note that the button is present only when the the user is logged in to the system
with the admin password. Have a look at chapter 7, describing the Login page, to have
more details about it.
5.3.1 Apply changes and consequences on Masking
When the environment changes with respect to the one saved by the controller, a mask‐
in
g signal may be generated, for example when a big metallic object is placed in front of
a sensor.
Please take into consideration that, when Apply changes is clicked, the current environ‐
ment in the field of view of the sensors is saved by the system.
So, it is very important to be sure that, when Apply Changes is clicked, there are no
objects obstructing the field of view of the sensors, otherwise the masking signal
could not be generated and the safety of the area is necessarily going to be reduced.

8 The Settings page
The following subchapters describe all the pages accessible through the S
ettings page.
8.1 Settings > General
Through this page, the user can:
•
do
wnload the current system configuration (and save it into a text file) and restore
a previously saved configuration: this functionality can be useful if the same con‐
figuration must be set on more than one system. The configuration can be done
on one controller, saved using the Download button, and loaded on the other con‐
trollers using the Restore button.
•
revert the system to the factory default settings.
WARNING
b
y clicking on Factory reset, all the current configurations will be lost.
8.2 Settings > Sensors
This page can also be reached from the D
ashboard clicking on the shortcut Sensitivity set‐
tings.
Through this page, the user can:
•
choose the sensitivity of the sensors separately for the stopping function (Barrier
sensitivity) and for the restart function (Restart sensitivity), between Normal, High and
Very High, in order to correct the default behaviour of the system
•
set the restart timeout:
°
automatic timeout, the user must set in the Restart time out field the desired
delay interval. Warning: in order to have an automatic restart function that
respects the certified safety requirements, the minimum value for the time‐
out is 10 seconds
°
manual timeout, the user must set in the Restart time out field the value “0”
(zero) and connect the machinery restart enable button conveniently
°
safe manual timeout, the user must set in the Restart time out field the desired
delay interval and connect the machinery restart enable button conveniently.
•
gather together the sensors into (up to a maximum of) three groups to allow selec‐
tive muting on a specific set of sensors:
°
muting disables temporarily the safety function of a sensor, allowing move‐
ment in the sensor detection zone without triggering alarms
8.3 Settings > Sensor ID Nodes
This page can also be reached from the D
ashboard clicking on the shortcut Manage sen‐
sors.
Through this page, the user can configure the node ID for each connected sensor; two
buttons are present:
•
reset all the ID nodes (Reset ID Nodes)
•
assign the node ID (Assign ID Nodes) for each connected sensor that does not have
it, following a configuration wizard.
8.3.1 Procedure to assign an ID Node to a sensor
The following wizard is used to assign an ID node to a sensor that does not have it.
