Choose S for Safety Scanning

Select SH27-03S or SH27-05S when the application requires the SH27 protective function and OSSD outputs without Ethernet raw scan data.

Choose D When Raw Scan Data Is Also Required

Select SH27-03D or SH27-05D when the same safety functions are required together with Ethernet raw distance, angle and echo-intensity data.

Important: Ethernet raw scan data on SH27 D models is non-safety-related supplementary information. Safety-related protective functions use the scanner’s PNP OSSD outputs.

SAFETY + NAVIGATION

Safety Protection and AGV Navigation in One Scanner

SH27 D-series models combine the safety functions of the S-series with Ethernet raw scan-data output. This allows the same scanner to support both personnel protection and AGV natural navigation.

SAFETY FUNCTION

Protective Monitoring with OSSD Outputs

The SH27 monitors configurable protective fields and switches the corresponding PNP OSSD safety outputs to the OFF state when an object enters the safety-related protective zone.

  • 3 m or 5 m protective range
  • Configurable protective fields
  • PNP OSSD safety outputs
  • Suitable for AGV/AMR safeguarding and machine safeguarding
D-SERIES ADDITIONAL FUNCTION

Ethernet Raw Scan Data for AGV Navigation

D-series models retain the complete safety functionality of the S-series while additionally providing raw scan data through Ethernet for AGV navigation and higher-level data processing.

  • Distance data
  • Angle data
  • Echo intensity data
  • Raw scan data for higher-level navigation and localization

Ethernet Raw Scan Data For higher-level AGV navigation
Important: Ethernet raw-data output is non-safety-related. Safety functions are implemented through the scanner’s safety outputs.

PROTECTIVE & WARNING FIELDS

Protective Zone vs. Warning Zone

The SH27 series supports configurable protective and warning fields for different safeguarding and signaling requirements. These fields serve different functions and should not be treated as equivalent.

SAFETY-RELATED

Protective Zone

The protective zone is used for safety-related object detection. When an object enters the configured protective field, the corresponding OSSD safety output switches to the OFF state so that the connected control system can initiate the required safe response.

  • Used for personnel safeguarding and collision protection
  • Safety-related monitoring field
  • Detection causes the corresponding OSSD output to switch OFF
  • 3 m or 5 m protective range depending on model
NON-SAFETY-RELATED

Warning Zone

The warning zone provides non-safety-related object detection. It can be used for signaling or pre-warning functions such as warning lights or audible alarms.

  • Used for pre-warning and signaling
  • Non-safety-related monitoring field
  • Can activate warning lights or audible alarms
  • 10 m or 20 m warning zone depending on model
Warning Zone Object detected
Pre-Warning Light / audible signal
Protective Zone Object detected
OSSD OFF Safe response initiated
Important: Warning zones are non-safety-related and must not be used for safety-related applications.
CONFIGURABLE SAFETY FIELDS

Flexible Protective Fields for Changing Operating Conditions

The SH27 series supports up to 64 configurable zone sets, allowing protective and warning fields to be adapted to different machine states, travel directions and AGV operating conditions.

Configurable Zone Sets

Preconfigured field shapes can be stored and selected according to the operating condition of the machine or mobile platform.

STATIC SWITCHING

Switch Fields by Control Inputs

Preconfigured zone sets can be selected through control inputs, allowing the active monitoring field to change with machine states or operating modes.

Control Input Zone Set Active Field
DYNAMIC SWITCHING

Speed-Dependent Protective Field Switching

Dynamic control inputs can be used with incremental encoder signals to select protective fields according to AGV travel speed.

Low Speed Shorter field
Higher Speed Extended field
DUAL PROTECTIVE ZONE MODE

Two Independent Protective Zones

The SH27 can operate with two protective zones, with each zone assigned to its corresponding OSSD output pair for independent safety monitoring.

Protective Zone 1 OSSD1
Protective Zone 2 OSSD2
AGV Application: Protective fields can be selected according to operating conditions such as vehicle speed, helping maintain an appropriate monitored area during mobile operation.

SH27-03 models provide a 3 m protective range and a 10 m warning zone. SH27-05 models provide a 5 m protective range and a 20 m warning zone. The required model should be selected according to the safeguarding distance and application layout.

Is the warning zone a safety-related protective field?

No. The warning zone is non-safety-related and is intended for pre-warning or signaling functions. It must not be used as a safety-related protective field.

Can the SH27 be used on AGVs and AMRs?

Yes. The SH27 can be used for AGV and AMR collision protection and personnel safeguarding. Configurable and speed-dependent protective field switching can be used to adapt the monitored area to different vehicle operating conditions.

Can the SH27 D-series provide scan data for AGV navigation?

How many configurable zone sets does the SH27 support?

The SH27 supports up to 64 configurable zone sets. These can be selected according to machine states, travel direction or AGV operating conditions.

Is the Ethernet output safety-related?

No. The Ethernet raw-data output is non-safety-related. Safety functions are implemented through the scanner’s safety outputs, including the PNP OSSD output pairs.

Can the SH27 monitor two protective zones independently?

Yes. In dual protective zone mode, Protective Zone 1 is assigned to OSSD1 and Protective Zone 2 is assigned to OSSD2 for independent safety monitoring.
