Safety-related functions
The following functions are integrated within the robot itself and cannot be
modified or used with other applications. The following list introduces the main
safety-related functions integrated in MiR1350:
•
Personnel detection
This function ensures that the robot stops before it collides with personnel or
an object. If the laser scanners detect an object or person within a defined
Protective field, the robot is brought to a stop. The function determines what
the current speed of the robot is based on data from the motor encoders, and
the function switches between predefined Protective fields accordingly. The
faster the speed, the larger the Protective field is.
•
Overspeed avoidance
The safety system monitors if the motor encoder data indicates that the speed
of either motor is above the limits for maximum speed, or if the speed
difference between the motors exceeds the predefined limits. If a limit is
exceeded, the robot enters Protective stop.
