Figure 3 - Field Set with One Protective Field and Two Warning Fields
Protective field
Warning field 1
Warning field 2
You can define the warning fields such that the safety laser scanner detects an
object before the actual hazardous area.
Warning field 1 can be used in particular for vehicle protection to detect an
object even before the actual hazardous area and to slow the movement of the
vehicle or bring it to a standstill. In this way, the wear on the brakes on an AGV
can be reduced. Warning field 2 can also be used to trigger a warning signal.
ATTENTION: A warning field on the SafeZone Mini device is not allowed to
be used for tasks that are related to the protection of people.
Contour Monitoring
In addition to the protective field, the SafeZone Mini device can also monitor a
contour (for example, the floor in vertical applications).
