3.5 Example applications
Hazardous point protection
In ha
zardous point protection, the approach is detected very close to the hazardous
point.
The advantage of this type of protective device is that it is possible to have a short
minimum distance and the operator can work more ergonomically.
Hazardous area protection
In ha
zardous area protection, people are detected if they stay in a defined area.
This type of protective device is suitable for machines, where it is possible to see a
hazardous area completely from the reset pushbutton. When the hazardous area is
entered, a stop signal is triggered and starting is prevented

Mobile hazardous area protection

zardous area protection is suitable for AGVs to protect people when vehicles
are moving or docking at a fixed station.
