NOTICE
Scanners measure distances to diffuse reflections, which means that
a tolerance is added to the Protective field sets to secure a safe
detection of persons crossing the Protective field sets. The tolerance
distance is 65 mm.
Muted Protective fields
When it is required that the robot moves close to surrounding objects, the robot
can be configured to mute the Protective fields. This muting is by default enabled
in the template missions for docking to known markers such as charging stations
or pallet racks, or it can manually be configured for any customized mission.
CAUTION
Other risk reduction means shall be implemented as muted
Protective fields introduce a risk for collision with personnel in its
path.
•
Areas where Protective fields are muted must be marked as
Operating hazard zones, and personnel must be informed not to
enter the zone while the robot is operating in it—see Using
operating hazard zones on page173.
When the Protective fields are muted, the robot does the following:
•
Disables the Protective fields
•
Decreases and ensures that the maximum speed is set to 0.3 m/s
•
Flashes the yellow signal lights
•
Emits audible warning sounds if configured to do so in the safety system
settings—see Light indicators and speakers on page135.
