Sick nanoscan 3 setup

General Application Help: How do I?
1

Hi,

I am trying to configure a sick nanoscan3 pro sensor (Sbot speed package with 1 sensor, no SPLC and no URcap) with a UR5e

The Sick scanner is sending inputs to the cobot’s config inputs:
config_in[0], config_in[1]: needs to be configured to “Automatic Mode safeguard stop”
config_in[2], config_in[3]: configured to “reduced mode”

But 3 Position switch needs to be assigned to a config input pair for “Automatic mode Safeguard stop” option to be available. Is there a workaround? Is this required?

I have wired a two position key switch to “config_in[6], config_in[7]” which is for mode selection (Automatic/Manual).

You shoukdn’t need the 3-position if you connect the safety inputs to the Safeguard Stop terminals instead of the configurable. :slight_smile:

Thanks @efn

But the scanner is always active, so I am not able to program or even start the cobot within the safeguard zone, How can I setup a mode selector to isolate the sensor so I can program the cobot.

Also when I try running a program I get the following error:

Had to save installation file to get rid of this.

Well. I typically just physically bypass the safeguard inputs when I program a robot with a safety scanner or other equipment triggering the safeguard.

But you will indeed have to set up a 3PE device to do this, as the robot is telling you. :slight_smile: There is no workaround.
You can use a rotary switch or something and connect as instructed in the user manual. And then use two configurable inputs as 3PE.

I have seen your exception before, and from what I remember, the only solution is to make a whole new program. Make sure your robot is updated.
