SICK S30A-6011CA LiDAR Sensor 5.5 m Range

Product Introduction

The SICK S30A-6011CA belongs to the S3000 Advanced (Medium Range) family. This safety laser scanner uses 2D LiDAR time-of-flight measurement. It provides a 5.5 m protective field and a 49 m radial warning field. The device suits hazardous area safeguarding in industrial environments.

Technical Specifications

The S30A-6011CA scanner operates with a pulsed laser diode at 905 nm. This light source meets Class 1 eye-safe requirements per IEC 60825-1:2014. The average optical power stays below 1 mW. Furthermore, the scanning angle reaches 190° with 0.25° or 0.5° angular resolution.

Object resolution is configurable across five settings: 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 70 mm, and 150 mm. The response time is ≤ 60 ms and can be adjusted from 60 ms to 120 ms via multiple sampling rates. Additionally, the systematic measurement error is typically ± 35 mm.

Safety integrity meets Type 3 per IEC 61496-1 and -3. It also achieves SIL 2 per IEC 61508 and SILCL 2 per EN 62061. The performance level is PL d / Category 3 per EN ISO 13849-1.

Interface and Electrical Parameters

The S30A-6011CA provides one OSSD pair with PNP output at 250 mA. It also includes one warning field output. Safe EFI bus communication enables master/slave networking with other SICK safety devices.

Supply voltage is DC 24 V with a range of 16.8 V to 28.8 V. This device requires SELV or PELV safety extra-low voltage. Power consumption is typically 19 W without external output loads. The electrical connection uses a system plug with cable gland or M12 connectors.

Mechanical and Environmental Data

The housing uses aluminum die-cast with a polycarbonate optical hood. Dimensions are 155 mm x 185 mm x 160 mm. The device weighs approximately 3.3 kg. It operates in temperatures from -10 °C to +50 °C and stores from -20 °C to +70 °C. The enclosure protection rating is IP65 per EN 60529.

Installation Guide

First, mount the scanner securely on a stable bracket. Ensure the scanning plane aligns with the protected area. Next, connect the system plug using the cable gland or M12 connectors. Wire the OSSD pair to the machine safety circuit.

Then, configure the field sets and monitoring cases through the SICK configuration software. The device supports 4 field sets with up to 12 fields total in dual or triple field mode. Dynamic field switching works via local inputs or the EFI bus. Finally, verify the protective field range and response time settings.
