4.3.14 Fall protection
The safety camera sensor is mounted in a mobile application, e.g., on an AGV. When
used f
or f
all protection, the safety camera sensor detects openings in the floor and
protects the vehicle against falling.
The camera system is mounted at a minimum height of 50cm.
The contour detection field is configured via a teach-in process and corresponds to the
floor level in front of the vehicle.
