VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUM STEUERN EINER SICHERHEITSRELEVANTEN FUNKTION EINER MASCHINE

摘要

The apparatus has a machine control (19) to control the movement of a machine, and a sensor to sense an object in a monitored zone. An evaluation unit (17) sets a danger zone and triggers a safety-relevant function, on intrusion of the object into the zone. The unit coupled to the control derives parameters for the setting of the zone from control signals used for the movement control of the machine, to enable setting of the zone : An independent claim is also included for a method for control of a safety-relevant function of a machine.
