Chapter 2 – Introduction
2.3 Qualification of the Users
The personnel intended to operate the inductive guidance sensor
has been provided with this documentation.
is familiar with the functionality of the inductive guidance sensor.
is trained sufficiently in mounting and configuring the inductive guidance sen
-
sor and qualified to perform those tasks.
knows the risks posed by driverless vehicles and is trained in the necessary
safety precautions to assess the safe operational state of the system.
All personnel in the area of influence of the inductive guidance sensor is instructed
regarding the kind of the vehicle and the risks resulting from the driverless operation.
2.4 Intended Use
The inductive guidance sensor HG G-19370-B/HG G-19380-B is intended for the
track guidance of automated guided vehicles (AGV) along guide wires or ground in
-
stallations for the contact-less inductive energy transmission (energy track). The
sensor detects the magnetic field above a guide wire or energy track with active cur
-
rent flowing through it and continually calculates the actual deviation from the cen
-
ter of the track. This deviation information is output via the bus.
In case the inductive guidance sensor is used for other purposes than specified
above or is modified all warranties against the Götting KG are null and void.
The sensor is only used according to section 2.2 on page 7. The sensor is only
mounted, configured, commissioned, operated, maintained and dismounted by per
-
sonnel according to section 2.3 on page 8.
DANGER
Missing protection equipment
The inductive guidance sensor does not contain functionality to detect obstacles
or persons in front of a vehicle.
The vehicle manufacturer resp. operator has to include suitable safety
equipment.
DANGER
The vehicle leaving the track
Interferences as specified in section 3.3.1 on page 11 may lead to inaccurate
outputs whereby the vehicle may leave the track.
The vehicle manufacturer resp. operator has to include functionality to detect
this and stop the vehicle if needed
As an aid the
Detect
signal may be used (see below)
