7.2.2 Velocity-dependent vehicle monitoring for unidirectional travel
(S3000 Professional)
Using incremental encoders the S3000 Professional acquires the velocity of the vehicle via
its dynamic control inputs. For different velocities, various field sets with protective fields
and warning fields of varying sizes are configured in the S3000. The field sets are switched
dynamically using the vehicle velocity.
7.2.3 Vehicle monitoring with determination of the surrounding contour and
reflector detection (S3000 Expert)
The S3000 monitors the area in one direction of travel and stops the vehicle as soon as
there is an object in the protective field. In addition, the surrounding contour is measured
and reflectors fitted to the walls detected. Surrounding contour and reflector detection are
output via the RS-422 interface using configurable telegrams.
