Get to know the LBK System
The LBK System is the first radar system certified for SIL2 / PLd safety
applications. EC type examination certificate.
The LBK System has been designed to monitor dangerous areas in

industrial environments. It is suitable for protecting the entire body of
operators.
It provides two safety functions:

• detection: prevents access to dangerous areas, setting the machinery
to safe conditions when someone enters the dangerous area.
• restart prevention: prevents unexpected starting or restarting of the
machinery as long as there are people in the dangerous area.

LBK System: Architecture
● The LBK-C22 control unit
can manage up to 6
LBK-S01 radar sensors
● CAN bus communication
designed according to EN
50325-5
● The Inxpect Safety
Application allows you to
configure the system
parameters
The LBK-C22 controller
Safety Outputs
• dual channel safety output provided by forced guided safety relays for alarms and direct or indirect safety of
the machinery.
Auxiliary Outputs
• two auxiliary output relays, which can be configured via the Inxpect Safety Application, for:
• pre-alarm
• fault/diagnostic
• muting status
Digital inputs
• three dual channel digital inputs:
• Muting: temporary suspension of the safety function of one or more sensors. Up to three groups of sensors
are supported.
• Machinery emergency button.
• Machinery restart button.
The LBK-S01 sensors
• Detect motion in their coverage area.
• Signal motion and diagnostic information to the controller through
CAN bus.
• IP 67

The LBK-S01 sensors
Maximum coverage area
Radar sensor field of vision (FOV) can
be set from the Inxpect Safety
Application:
● 50°/15°: very robust, suitable

for moving applications and
harsh environments
● 110°/30°: better coverage of the

dangerous area
● Installation High: from 0 up to
3mt

What the sensors see
The LBK-S01 is an FMCW radar, operating in the 24Ghz frequency band.

FMCW stands for Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave: it is the most
advanced type of radar in the world, the same used by the military.
It continuously sends low power radio waves, and analyses the returned
signals, as reflected by objects present in the field of view.
As such, it sees every object, still or in motion, in the field of vision of the
antenna.
The LBK System is a motion detection system.
Algorithms that discriminate between moving and still objects.

Factors that influence the reflected signal
(RCS)
The sensor sends ultra low power radio impulses,
which are then reflected by objects.
The return signal depends on several of the
object's property:
• Material: e.g.= metal has very high
reflection rate, paper and plastic a low one.
• Size of the area exposed to the sensor.
• Position with respect to the sensor: an
object in front of the sensor generates a
higher reflection than one far from the
sensor.
• Speed of motion: the faster the motion of
the object, the greater the reflection.
Factors that influence the field of vision
• Sensor installation height
• Sensor tilt
When installing the sensor, consider the risk of a blind spot:

LBK System
Functions and Sensitivity
Detection Function
When someone enters the alarm area the system places the machine in safety mode: it
de-energizes the safety relays.
A pre-alarm area can also be configured.
Sensitivity: is lower to filter out optical disturb
Field of view configurable: 110°/30° - 50°/15°
Restart Prevention
After motion is detected, further motion of only a few millimeters is sufficient to
prevent the machinery from restarting (e.g. a person breathing)
Sensitivity: it’s very hight to detect micro movement
Field of view: 110°/50°

Monitoring

Configuration
Calculate the size of the dangerous (alarm) area
The dangerous area must be calculated according to ISO 13885 and ISO 13857.
The two fundamental factors for its calculation are sensor height (H) and sensor tilt (I).

Configuration
Linear Configuration (Linear Barrier)
The max depth of the alarm area is 4 meters.

Configuration
Manual configuration and Muting
Manual configuration allows:

• the coverage of free-shaped areas;
• movement, rotation and adjustment of the field of view
of any sensor, so as to optimize its coverage area;
• importing the lay-outs of machinery, robotic cells, etc.
Muting
• temporary suspension of the safety function of one or
more sensors
• Up to three digital inputs can be used to enable it,
grouping sensors in up to three muting group

LBK System - Diagnostic
C22 controller: one LED for each sensor which indicates the following status:
• green -> Normal functioning and no motion detected
• orange -> Normal functioning and motion detected
• red -> error
LBK-S01 sensors: BLINKING

• Steady ON -> Normal functioning and no motion detected
• Rapid flashing ON (100ms) -> Normal functioning and motion detected
• Other conditions -> Error
Software
• Activity history of the System -> 520 events

Key benefits
• Robust to optical and environmental
disturbances: smoke, dust, sawdust,
machine waste, drops of water, light,
radio interference, oil, moisture,
vapor, scratches (no lenses!),
temperature changes.
• Volumetric detection.
• Robust to vibrations.
• No precise alignment needed.
• Easy and intuitive configuration
interface.
• Not affected by objects left in the
area. Proprietary and confidential - Copyright © 2016-2019 Inxpect S.p.A.
