Checklist for Testing Stationary Applications

The following checklist represents an aid. It helps in, but does not replace the test before
the initial startup as well as the regular tests performed by a trained specialist.
1) Is the mounting position and adjustment of the SIMATIC FS600
Laser Scanner correct and is the possibility of misusing the
SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner (for example to climb on
excluded?
2) Is the external condition of the additional safety equipment and
control devices free of problems?
3) Are all connection pieces and connection cables in flawless
condition?
4) Are the two safety outputs (OSSDs) connected to the following
machine control system in accordance with the corresponding
safety category?
5) Are the following switch elements that are controlled by the
SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner, for example contactors with
forced contacts or safety valves monitored by the feedback loop
(EDM)?
6) Does the actual connection of the SIMATIC FS600 Laser
Scanner to the machine control system match the circuit
diagrams?
7) Was the safety distance calculated according to the applicable
formulas for safeguarding danger areas and is this minimum
distance observed between the detection zone contour and the
danger areas?
8) Is the effect of any potentially reflective surfaces taken into
consideration with an addition in the calculation of the safety-
related distance? As an alternate solution, have the surfaces
been changed (e.g. matted)?
9) Does the risk assessment take into account the fact that
detection zone heights above 300 mm are considered high
enough to crawl under in the Standard (EN 999)?
10) Is access to the danger area only possible through the activated
detection zone of the SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner in
question, or are other entrance or access possibilities
safeguarded with suitable safety parts, for example guard
fences?
11) Is the possibility of being between the activated detection zone
and the danger area reliably ruled out?
12) Is an installed protection to prevent walking behind (e.g.
undercut) in effect?
