Configuration
The configuration file contains all the functions required to evaluate the system based on
the scenarios at the industrial cranes and to cyclically test the laser scanners.
It is located on the USB stick supplied and is loaded onto the Flexi Soft control via file
download.
The size and geometry of the monitoring fields must be adapted to the existing conditions
on-site.

System functionality
The AOS502 STS is a self-testing object detection system whose functionality as a whole
is monitored by the Flexi Soft control. During later movement by a boom (gantry travel),
the system prevents collisions with exposed ship superstructures, such as the radar
system, and between neighboring cranes.
The AOS502 STS provides protection against collisions by means of two laser scanners,
which are positioned on the right and left sides of the boom. These generate a horizontal
monitored area along the boom, which covers its entire length.
In addition, depending on the mounting process, the system offers protection from
collisions with neighboring cranes during lateral movements through the monitored areas
oriented to the rear.
