Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can the S30B-2011BA detect objects with very low reflectivity?

Yes, the SICK S30B-2011BA detects objects with only 1.8% remission. This includes black clothing and dark machine parts.

2. What is the difference between protective field and warning field?

The protective field stops the machine upon entry. The warning field triggers an alert but does not stop the S30B-2011BA .

3. Can I use this scanner outdoors or in direct sunlight?

This is an indoor model with IP65 rating. Direct sunlight may exceed ambient light limits and affect scanning performance.

4. How do I configure multiple sampling on this device?

Use CDS software to set multiple sampling from 2 to 16. Higher values reduce false trips but increase response time on the S30B-2011BA .

5. Does this model provide distance measurement data?

Yes, the SICK S30B-2011BA outputs measured data via RS-422. You can access distance values for diagnostic and monitoring purposes.
