Purpose Fall protection Detection and protection of peo‐
ple in sta
tionary applications
Description The contour detection field can, for
example, protect AGVs from falling.
The contour detection field mon‐
itors a contour of the environ‐
ment. The electro-sensitive protec‐
tive device switches the associated
safety outputs to the OFF state if
a contour does not correspond to
the set specifications, e.g. because
a door or flap is open.
The contour detection field can
detect and protect people in
stationary applications using a
taught-in reference background.
The contour detection field mon‐
itors a contour of the environ‐
ment. The electro-sensitive protec‐
tive device switches the associ‐
ated safety outputs to the OFF
state if a contour does not corre‐
spond to the configured require‐
ments, e.g., because a person is
present in the contour detection
field. The person is obscuring the
taught-in reference background.
In stationary applications, the contour detection field can be used to detect contamina‐
t
ion on the front screens of the device.

Description The ROI determines distance values and checks them for plausibility.
The ROI function can transmit
ab
solute distance values and
quality information via the meas‐
urement data output.
The ROI function can monitor devi‐
ations from a specified distance
value. In the event of a devia‐
tion, the associated safety outputs
switch to the OFF state.
