SICK Safety Assistant vs SLC Assist Usage & Stats
The SICK Safety Assistant reads configuration and diagnostic data from the SICK safety sensors deTec4, deTem4, deTem A/P and scanGrid2 via NFC.
Supported products
deTec4 safety light curtains: www.sick.com/deTec
The new generation of safety light curtains deTec are suitable for safeguarding hazardous areas, access points and danger points. Intelligent and modern technologies such as NFC and IO-Link offer completely new possibilities for comprehensive diagnostics, fast commissioning, and adoption of automation functions.
• deTec4
• deTec4 HG
• deTec4 Ex II 3GD
deTem4 and deTem A/P multiple light beam safety devices: www.sick.com/deTem
The multiple light beam safety devices offer a high degree of flexibility for access protection and entry and exit monitoring (muting).
• deTem4
• deTem4 A/P
• deTem4 Core A/P
• deTem2 Core A/P
• deTem4 LT Muting A/P
Safe multi-beam scanners scanGrid2: www.sick.com/scanGrid
Safe multi-beam scanners from SICK combine the advantages of a safety light curtain with those of a safety laser scanner. Thanks to safe solid-state technology of the LiDAR sensors, transmitter and receiver units are compactly integrated in one device without moving parts. The result: innovation in a new dimension.

Schmersal SLC Assist informs you about the diagnosis and configuration data of your Schmersal safety light curtain via Bluetooth interface.
You do not only have all information about your safety light curtain available, SLC Assist is also an important tool for installation, service and documentation.
Device and configuration data
With the device data you get general information about the light curtain such as the type, the serial number, the protective field resolution and the field height. In device configuration you see the functions which have been parameterized and are enabled.
Device status
With the display of the device status you see the signal strength of each individual beam in real time, the active operation mode, the status of the OSSD outputs and the status of the protective field. It is self-evident that you see if the protective area is interrupted.
Alignment and installation of a light curtain
When you align the light curtain, you will use the display of the signal strength of each beam. One star is shown if the quality of the alignment is to be improved. Three stars are displayed when the alignment is perfect.
Service and maintenance
With a counter you are informed about the number of switching cycles. With this information you will schedule e.g. the service cycles of the safety relay module.
The operating hours are shown to define the intervals for the intermediate checks.
Documentation
To archive the device information and the device data you save the actual status on your smartphone or tablet. This facilitates the documentation e.g. after a functional or intermediate inspection. Additional you may send the actual status via email to store it to your document server.
For an optimal commissioning and best possible use of operation you may download the operation manual directly from the app to your smartphone or tablet.
The light curtain with bluetooth interface and the related Schmersal app is the optimal tool and assists you by
- Condition monitoring
- Optimal alignment
- Preventive maintenance
- Documentation according to national safety regulations
Safety distance calculation
Schmersal SLC Assist calculates the safety distance in accordance with the EN ISO 13885:2010 standard.
The safety distance is carried out for the application areas where the protective field is vertical to the approach direction.
The calculation applies exclusively to industrial applications!
