OS32C CONFIGURATION TOOL START UP

Open the “OS32C Configuration Tool”. You will be prompt to select the PC’s Ethernet adapters IP to which the OS32C scanner is connected to. If you are not connected to the scanner then click on cancel, otherwise select the correct IP address.

The initial Ethernet configuration of the OS32C scanner is DHCP (dynamic IP); therefore make sure that you set your Ethernet adapter to dynamic as well for the first time you connect to the OS32C. You must wait for 40 seconds at least before attempting to connect the Configuration Tool to the OS32C unit.

NEW CONFIGURATION FILE

To start a new configuration, click on “File” and then click on “New”

The configuration window will appear. First step is to add a “Configuration Description” (Optional), which can be used as a reference for later or other users. Once you finish click on “Next”

Now you are required to setup the parameters of the sensor. This is divided into two main sections:

Safety-Critical Parameters

• External Device Monitoring (EDM)
  • If enabled, the OS32C can monitor the N.C. contacts of the external control relays (Controlled by the OSSD safety outputs).
• Response Time
  • Configures a time period for OS32C safety output from ON to OFF
• Monitoring Zone
  • For one zone select “Single zone”, otherwise for multiple zones select “Multiple zone”.
• Zone Delay
• Operating Mode
  • A user can select from “Automatic Start”, “Start Interlock” or “Start/Restart Interlock”.
• Minimum Object Resolution
  • Minimum object size to be detected by the scanner (30, 40, 50 or 70 [mm])

Non-Safety-Critical Parameters

• Restart Delay
• Auxiliary Output Mode
• Auxiliary Output Type
• Auxiliary Output Polarity
• Warning Output Mode
• Warning Output Type
• Warning Output Polarity
• Power Reserve Mode
• Seven-segment Display
• ISI Option
• ISI Mode

Next step is to select the configuration of the first zone. This is the same for every consecutive zone created. You are able to download 70 different zones to the OS32C scanner.

Each zone created has 3 areas:

• Safety Zone
  • This will signal a complete stop
• Warning zone 1
  • This will send a signal through the warning or auxiliary output, depending on the “Non-Safety-Critical Parameters” configuration
• Warning zone 2
  • This will send a signal through the warning or auxiliary output, depending on the “Non-Safety-Critical Parameters” configuration

Each zone can be set to either one of the following zone shapes:

• Circular segment
• Polygon
  • Automatically creates a shape with 6 segments
• Semi-circle (180^o)
• Rectangle
• Polygon (180^o)

This is the final step, once you have completed you will see your new configuration appear in the OS32C Configuration Tool.

ZONE INPUTS CONFIGURATION FOR MULTIPLE ZONES

There is one more important property that you must attend to if you are using multiple zones. This is the “Zone Inputs” that is used to configure the pin inputs from the OS32C scanners “Power Control 18-Pin Mini-Type Connector” used to set the current zone layout required. (Refer to page 23 of OS32C manual “Z296-E1-08” for further details).

In the table below you can see what pins from the connector correspond to the zone select inputs

EDIT LAYOUT

In order to edit the layout of the zones you need to carry out the following steps:

Under the main toolbar select the zone and foreground you wish to modify

Once you have made your selection, go to the edit toolbar and click on “Edit zone”

Now you can see that the zone that you have selected has a set of yellow dots located at the perimeter of the zone.

There are 2 methods used to modify the layout. Click and drag the points to modify the layout of the zone or you can right-click in the work area and select “Editing by coordinates”.

NOTE: REMEMBER THAT THE MAXIMUM DISTANCE FOR THE SAFETY ZONE IS 3m AND FOR THE WARING ZONES ITS 10m

ADD NEW ZONE

You can also add new zones if you require. This can be done by going to the edit toolbar and clicking on “Add zone”.

A new zone configuration window will appear on your screen. Just follow the same procedures outlined previously for setting a new zone.

Once you add the new zone you will prompt to verify the “Zone Inputs” configuration. Remember to update the configuration to account for the new zone that you just added

You are able to check the zones that you have currently created in your configuration by going to the “Defined Zones” tab located at the bottom right-hand corner of the OS32C Configuration Tool window

LOG ON TO OS32C UNIT

To connect to the OS32C scanner go to “Utilities” and click on “Log On”

When logging on you are required to select a “User access level”. The available options are:

• Operator
  • No password required. Only verification and monitoring of existing configuration
• Maintenance
  • Password required (default: mainusr). Allows user to modify the non-safety parameters only
• Supervisor
  • Password required (default: supeusr). Allows user to check, change and monitor OS32C configuration

Once you log on to an OS32C unit the configuration will be automatically uploaded to the OS32C Configuration Tool.

To download your configuration onto the OS32C unit, go to the menu bar and click on “Configuration”. Then go to “Send to Sensor/Enter CFG Mode” and finally click on “Entire Configuration”

This will download the entire configuration you have just created through the OS32C Configuration Tool to the OS32C unit. There will be a series of checks that you will prompted too perform before finalizing the download. At the end of the download you will be given 3 “checksum” values. Make sure to record these values as they are used to verify if there have been any modifications done to the configuration of the OS32C unit or not.
