2.1 Intended Use
The interpreter is a component of guide wire track guidance systems for Automated
Guided Vehicles. The interpreter detects the deviation from the guide wires laid in
the ground by means of the antennas mentioned in section 3.1 on page 12 and
transmits it to the vehicle controller. Based on the transmitted values the steering in
-
formation can be calculated.
The connected antennas are monitored for correct operation as well as for wire
breakage. The interpreter is only intended for the use in track guidance systems with
a maximum speed of 1 m/s without any passenger transportation.
Main area of application is the steering of automated guided vehicles, thus this is the
application we mainly address from here on.
The track guidance system may only be operated by qualified personnel at the oper
-
ation place (e.g. vehicle) at which it was mounted or initially commissioned by qual
-
ified personnel according to this device description. The operating conditions given
in section 2.4 on page 9 have to be observed.
The track guidance system does not include safety equipment. It may only be used
in applications where the manufacturer and/or the facility operator have ensured
that sufficient measures for ensuring the personal safety and the safe detection of
obstacles have been established. This includes the safe detection of situations like
e.g. the vehicle leaving the track or people or obstacles appearing in front of the ve
-
hicle. In these cases moving parts (e.g. vehicles) have to be stopped immediately to
rule out material damage and personal injuries.
All persons within the range of influence of an automated facility (e.g. automated
guided vehicle, AGV) have to be instructed about the kind of the application and the
associated risks.
2.2 Improper Use
Any use other than that described in the intended use is not intended and therefore
not permitted.
Götting KG does not accept any liability for damage caused by improper use. The
risks of improper use lie solely with the user.
