SICK S32B-3011EA S300 Mini Remote Scanner | 3m Protective Field

Description

Product Overview

Part number 1056431 comes from SICK Sensors. Specifically, model S32B-3011EA belongs to the S300 Mini Remote sub family.

However, this safety laser scanner works only in an EFI system network. Therefore, use it with a Flexi Soft safety controller and another S300 or S3000 scanner.

As a result, it offers a 3 m protective field and a 30 m distance measuring range. Additionally, the 270° scanning angle covers wide areas effectively.

Furthermore, this device is for indoor application only. For instance, the housing is aluminum die cast (yellow RAL 1021 and black RAL 9005). Finally, its weight is only 0.8 kg without cables.

Installation Guide

• First, mount on a stable indoor surface using M4 screws.
• Second, keep the 250 mm connection cable free from tight bends.
• Next, connect the M12 7-pin male plug to the EFI network.
• Also, do not block the 270° scanning window.
• Finally, maintain a 100 mm protective field supplement around obstacles.

Commissioning & Maintenance

• For quick setup, use SICK Configuration Software.
• Then, configure resolution, multiple sampling, and field sets easily.
• Moreover, automatic reset delay helps reduce false stops.
• Similarly, clean the polycarbonate optics cover with a soft cloth.
• Consequently, the scratch-resistant coating extends cover life.
• Lastly, aluminum die cast housing resists mechanical stress.

Compatibility

• Importantly, this unit works only inside an EFI system network.
• Likewise, it is compatible with Flexi Soft safety controller.
• Additionally, it pairs with additional S300 or S3000 safety laser scanners.
• However, it is not compatible with non-EFI safety systems.

Certifications

• CE certified
• TÜV approved for functional safety
• IP65 rating for dust and water jet protection
• Type 3 safety laser scanner according to IEC 61496

Package Contents

• SICK S32B-3011EA safety laser scanner (1 unit)
• Pre-attached cable with M12 7-pin male connector (250 mm)
• Quick start guide (digital download available)
• Configuration software link

Warranty & Shipping

We offer a 12-month warranty from the date of shipment. This covers manufacturing defects only.

Furthermore, we ship via Fedex, UPS, and DHL. Thus, express delivery is available worldwide. Consequently, a tracking number is provided within 24 hours.

Typical Applications

• Mobile robot collision avoidance
• Automated guided vehicle (AGV) safety
• Machine guarding at conveyor lines
• Stationary hazard zone protection
• Packaging machine access monitoring

Diagnostic Capabilities

• Onboard status LEDs show operational state clearly.
• Additionally, EFI communication sends diagnostic data to Flexi Soft controller.
• For example, configurable multiple sampling reduces false triggers.
• Also, contour as reference helps detect field violations.
• Finally, monitoring case switching allows real-time safety zone changes.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use this scanner alone without a Flexi Soft controller?

No, you cannot. The S32B-3011EA works only inside an EFI system network. Therefore, you need a Flexi Soft safety controller and another S300 or S3000 scanner.

2. What is the real-world protective field range?

It provides 3 meters at full reliability. However, the warning field reaches 8 meters at 15% reflectivity. Moreover, distance measurement goes up to 30 meters.

3. How fast does the scanner respond?

Response time is 80 ms. Furthermore, you can configure multiple sampling from 2 to 16 times. Thus, you can balance speed and safety as needed.

4. My previous S300 scanner had measured data output. Why is this missing?

This “Remote” version focuses on pure safety functions. Consequently, it does not output measured data. Instead, use the standard S300 series if you need distance data.

5. What resolution should I choose for a pallet detection application?

Start with 70 mm. However, for smaller objects like hands or small boxes, select 40 mm or 30 mm. Keep in mind that higher resolution increases computing load slightly.

6. How do I prevent nuisance trips from dust or insects?

Set multiple sampling to 4 or 8. Also, increase the automatic reset delay to 10 seconds. Additionally, adjust the protective field supplement to 150 mm if needed.

7. Is this scanner suitable for outdoor use?

No, it is not. The datasheet clearly states “Indoor” application. Therefore, rain or direct sunlight can affect performance significantly.

8. Can I connect this scanner to a PLC?

Only via the EFI network and Flexi Soft controller. As a result, there is no direct PLC output like Profinet or Ethernet/IP on this model.

9. What shipping options do you offer?

We use FedEx, UPS, and DHL. Consequently, express shipping typically takes 3 to 7 business days worldwide.

10. I need a replacement for an older S300 Mini. Is this drop-in compatible?

Check your existing part number first. The S32B-3011EA uses the same mounting dimensions (102x116x105 mm). However, it requires EFI network. Thus, older non-EFI systems need an adapter.

Selection Guide

• Choose S32B-3011EA when you already have a Flexi Soft controller and another S300/S3000 scanner.
• Pick this model for indoor mobile robot safety up to 3 meters protective field.
• Select 30 mm resolution for high-risk areas with small object detection.
• Alternatively, use 150 mm resolution for large vehicle detection or dusty environments.
• However, avoid this part if you need measured data output or standalone operation.
• For outdoor use, consider SICK’s outdoor-rated laser scanners instead.
