1.4.3.2 Area Scanner
The EduCart is provided with a Sick microScan3 laser area scanner for
detecting persons/items entering an area around the EduCart. The
scanner's feedback operates similar to a safety gate - it is used as a safety
function in PLAY Mode. Therefore, in TEACH Mode the status condition of
the safety scanner is not used.
• Red scanner area with minimum radius of 1804 mm from the Robot:
Robot stops when the area is violated in PLAY Mode.
Looking at the scanner it is possible to determine the status. When
the scanner's protected area is violated the indicator is red.
NOTICE
I/O interface for the Functional Safety Unit (FSU) is NOT included.
Only FSU software functions are included. The hardwired interface is
sold as a separate option.
