SICK S300 Standard Safety Laser Scanner: Compact and Versatile Machine Guarding

Core Product Overview

• Brand & Model: This is the SICK S30B-3011BA | S300 Standard safety laser scanner.
• Primary Function: It serves as a Type 3 safety device for creating non-contact protective fields up to 3 meters around hazardous areas.
• Key Advantage: Features integrated safety outputs (OSSDs) and multiple diagnostic outputs for flexible integration without a network.

Key Technical Specifications & Performance

• Monitoring Range: The scanner provides a 3-meter protective field and an 8-meter warning field, with a maximum measuring range of 30 meters.
• Scanning & Resolution: It features a wide 270° scanning angle with configurable resolution from 30mm to 150mm for precise detection.
• Safety Ratings: Certified to high safety standards including Category 3, PL d, and SIL 2, ensuring reliable personnel protection.
• Response Time: Offers a fast 80ms response time for quick reaction to intrusions in the safety field.

Wiring & Connectivity Details

• Power & I/O Connection: Uses a system plug with a male M12 5-pin connector for power and input/output signals.
• Safety Outputs: Includes 1 OSSD pair (2 outputs) capable of switching 250mA each for directly controlling safety relays or contacts.
• Configuration Interface: Configure via PC using the RS-232 interface and SICK's Configuration and Diagnostic Software (CDS).
• Input Functions: Supports external device monitoring (EDM), reset/restart, and standby commands through its universal I/Os.

Electrical & Mechanical Data

• Power Supply: Operates on a standard 24V DC supply (16.8V to 30V DC) with a typical current consumption of 0.33A.
• Output Current: The OSSD safety outputs can handle up to 250mA, while three diagnostic outputs provide 100mA each.
• Build & Protection: Housed in a durable aluminum die-cast enclosure with an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water.
• Compact Design: Features a small footprint measuring 102mm x 152mm x 106mm and weighing only 1.2kg for easy mounting.

Installation & Setup Guide

• Mount the SICK S300 scanner securely to cover the desired hazardous area within its 270° field of view.
• Connect the 24V DC power and I/O signals using the appropriate cable with an M12 5-pin male connector.
• Use the RS-232 interface and SICK CDS software to configure the protective field, warning field, and response parameters.
• Connect the OSSD outputs to your safety controller or relay to complete the safety circuit for your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Does this model require a safety relay? The S300 Standard has built-in OSSD outputs that can directly interface with many safety controllers, but a safety relay may be needed depending on your system architecture.
• What is the maximum cable length for the I/O connection? For safe device communication via EFI, the maximum recommended cable length is 50 meters with a conductor cross-section of 0.22mm².
• Can I configure multiple field sets? This Standard version supports one triple field set (3 fields), making it ideal for applications with one primary monitoring case.
• What is the difference between Standard and Advanced/Profinet versions? The Standard model uses direct I/O wiring, while Advanced versions offer network communication (like PROFINET) for more complex systems.
