Frequently Asked Questions

Can this scanner work in snow or heavy rain?

Yes. The IP67 rating means it is waterproof and dustproof. The built-in filters help ignore rain and snowflakes in the data. The heater also melts snow on the window.

How do I configure the different scanning fields?

Use SICK's free SOPAS ET software on a Windows PC. Connect via Ethernet or the mini-USB service port. You can draw up to 10 different warning or protection zones easily.

What is the main difference between the 25Hz and 100Hz setting?

Speed. 25Hz updates the scan 25 times per second, good for slow-moving vehicles. 100Hz updates 100 times per second. This is needed for fast-moving forklifts or robots to see quick changes.

My environment has lots of dust. Will this be a problem?

Not usually. The LMS511 has a special particle filter to reduce noise from dust or smoke. For very heavy, constant dust, regular lens cleaning is still recommended.

Can I connect it directly to my Siemens PLC?

Yes, easily. The scanner has standard Ethernet (TCP/IP). Your Siemens PLC (like S7-1500) can read the measurement data directly over the network. No special module is needed.
