4.5 Area protection (Horizontal application Mobile) Fixed area
UAM can be used for mobile applications such as AGV (Figure 4-10). It is installed on an AGV to
detect objects while travelling along a fixed route. Warning signals in such application can be used for
reducing the speed and stop the AGV. A maximum 32 area sets can be used to match the travel route of the
AGV. Confirm the time and distance required for the AGV to stop completely when configuring the
protection and warning zones. The safety distance for this application is shown in figure 4-11 and 4-12.
Figure 4-10 Example of area protection (Mobile)

In the access protection application, where the angle of the approach exceeds ±30º,
“Reference boundary monitoring” function should be used.

Reference segments should be configured on each sides of reference boundary.

Tolerance of the reference segment should be less than 100mm.

For detection of body parts, minimum detectable width should be configured as 30mm
.

UAM should be mounted in such a way that it is impossible to access the hazardous
point. Use additional protective measures if necessary.


When the S > 500mm, value for K can be replace with 1600mm/s instead of 2000mm/s.

However, minimum value of S will be 500mm in such cases.
