This example shows a cell that consists of dynamic protection
sensors connected to a Vital with the following functions:
Two charging stations
At each charging station a light curtain checks for anyone
putting their hand into a risk area, and an Eden sensor checks
whether a robot is inside the same risk area. This means that
a stop is only ordered if a robot and a person are in the same
area. When the station is clear, the person presses the reset
button connected to the light curtain.
Fence with Eden-interlocked door
If the door is opened, the robot stops. To reset the robot sys-
tem, the door must be closed and a supervisory reset button
operated.
Three emergency stops with Tina units
If any of the emergency stop buttons is pressed, the robot
performs an immediate emergency stop.
One Vital supervises the entire robot cell!
Vital is available in three versions
