The laser scanner includes a mounting kit for installation. The NS3 MOUNTING KIT 2B not only serves as a mounting solution but also acts as a protective enclosure for the scanner. You can find the technical documentation and dimensions on the website www.sick.de under the designation "NS3 MOUNTING KIT 2B", which is linked to order number 2111770.
Mounting Parts
Tools required
5mm hex key
7mm open-end wrench
Procedure:
Step 1: Installing the safety scanner on the MRB
In the first step, attach the laser scanner to the designated mounting location on the MRB. Refer to the operating manual for the MRB for detailed instructions on this step.
After successfully attaching the bracket to the MRB, proceed to connect the connector to the laser scanner. Connect the pre-assembled cable to the connector and match the markings on the connectors to the mainboard of the control cabinet (refer to the "Connection Plan microScan3 to Control" diagram). You can refer to the connection table for pin assignment, labeling, function, and wire color details.
Configuration of Safety Inputs
To configure the safety inputs, open horstFX and navigate to Settings > IO Configuration > Safety IOs.
Configure the safety input SAFETY_INPUT_2 by setting a 5 ms low-pass filter. This filter is necessary to accurately filter the external OSSD signal from the safety scanner.
Konfiguration der Sicherheitseing�nge in Software horstFX
Zus�tzlich muss der Digitale Eingang INPUT_1 als �Reduzierte Geschwindigkeit� konfiguriert werden.
Configuration of the digital input in the horstFX software
Detailed illustrations of the connections at the Control cabinet can be found in Chapter 3.3 of the manual as a visual representation.
Configuration of the safety scanner
The complete setup and configuration of the laser scanner is detailed in the operational manual of the safety scanner. For a step-by-step guide, refer to the user manual for the microScan3 Core I/O by SICK or download the PDF from the following link:

The following points describe what is important for the HORST-side installation.
Please note that the integration of the scanner is the responsibility of the integrator. This guide is only for connecting the scanner to the HORST interface.
- Connecting the safety scanner via the Micro-USB cable to a laptop for setup.
- Open the SICK Safety Designer App to configure the security scanner.
- Creating a new project (Alternatively: Use a project template, request from fruitcore)
- Connecting the scanner
- Download the configuration file from the USB stick provided and transfer it to your scanner.
Configuring the scanner and setting up the new device
On the attached USB stick, you will find a pre-configured setup file. After transferring this file, only adjustments to the protection fields are required (Step 2)..
If you prefer to configure it yourself, follow these steps.
- Following the steps of reading, identification, application, and monitoring level (refer to SICK manual)
- Anlegen der Schutzfelder: Diese m�ssen anhand der Normen f�r Sicherheitsabst�nde EN ISO 13857 und EN ISO 13855 (siehe auch BA SICK) sowie den Nachlaufzeiten des Roboters (siehe BA HORST) berechnet werden.
- Creating warning fields allows for reduced speed operation within them, serving as an additional warning function. Since this function is not redundantly executed, it does not diminish the protective field.
- Setting up the inputs and outputs locally
- Connect Pin 1 for power supply (24 V) and Pin 3 for ground GND (0 V).
- Connecting the OSSD pair 1 for the protective field (PIN 2 and Pin 4)
- Connect Pin 5 of the universal output and set it to low.
- Assign the warning light as a monitoring result by dragging and dropping.
- Protective field setting assignment for OSSD pair 1 (redundantly safety-critical)
- Warning field setting for assigning the universal output UO1 (single-wired, therefore not safety-critical!)
