4.4.4 Collision protection
The S100 prevents the collision of AGV. Switching field 2 slows down the movement of the
vehicle, switching field 1 stops the vehicle. The switching fields in the example are at an
angle upward, so that, for example, hanging objects can be detected.
4.5 Configurable functions
4.5.1 Naming applications and laser scanners
A name can be assigned to the application configured and to the laser scanner(s). The
names are saved in the devices after the configuration is transferred. The name chosen
may be, for example, the identifier for the vehicle, system or the machine.
You enter the application name and the name of the laser scanner used in the CDS-S100.
4.5.2 Switching fields
You configure the shape and size of each switching field in the CDS-S100. You can realise
any field shape required.
The area to be monitored is scanned radially by the S100. The S100 cannot see through
objects during this process. The area behind objects that are in the area to be monitored
(pillars, grilles, etc.) can thus not be monitored.
The switching fields can cover an angle of up to 270°.
On the S100 Standard you can configure two switching fields.
On the S100 Professional you can …
– configure 8 switching fields with an angular resolution of 0.5°.
– configure 16 switching fields with an angular resolution of 1.0°.
Two switching fields are always combined in one field set. These switching fields each
switch the switching output 1 or 2.
