5.1 Safety
Drive Warning Light
For CE compliance, an AIV is required to have a readily-visible warning light, when it is either
ready to move or is moving. The platform comes with light discs on each side, and the HMI
post has a beacon, designed to be higher than a normal payload, to do this.
If you have a payload that blocks the beacon, the core also provides an output, so you can add
your own warning device. This may be necessary for taller payloads, which may make the
beacon not always visible. The core has a Light Pole connector, which is covered in the Con-
nectivity chapter in LD Platform Core Rear, Upper on page 94. This can be used to drive a warn-
ing light in a more prominent location for taller payloads.
Turn Warning Lights
An AIV is also required, for CE compliance, to have readily-visible turn warning lights, when
it is either turning or about to turn. The platform's light discs indicate that the AIV is turning,
and in which direction.
If you have a payload that blocks the beacon, the core also provides an output, so you can add
your own warning device. This may be necessary for taller payloads, which may make the
beacon not always visible. The core has a Light Pole connector, which is covered in the Con-
nectivity chapter in LD Platform Core Rear, Upper on page 94. This can be used to drive a warn-
ing light in a more prominent location for taller payloads.
5.2 Considerations
Dimensions
You must keep your payload no wider and no longer than the LD Platform Cart Transporter.
Take care to keep all of the sensors exposed. If any of the sensors get blocked, the AIV won't be
able to function as intended. This is critical in the case of the lasers.
The payload design must not obstruct the side lasers' field of view.
If you have Acuity localization, you need to make sure that the height of your payload does
not obstruct the camera's field-of-view. The Acuity camera lens has a 140° field-of-view, so
take care that nothing higher than the camera lens is close beside the camera.
Pinch Hazard
There is a potential, with an improperly-designed cart payload, to create a pinch hazard
between the payload and the HMI post.
