Communication interface

A communication interface is a physical or software-based connection between two systems or devices, enabling them to communicate and exchange data.

Field Of View (FOV)

Field of View (FOV) refers to the visible area that a sensor or optical system can observe from a specific viewpoint. This area is often expressed in degrees and indicates how wide or narrow the detection range of the sensor is.

Electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE)

ESPE indicates which safety functions an electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) supports. ESPEs, such as light curtains and radar sensors, detect persons or objects in a hazardous area and ensure that a machine stops in time or cannot be started when the protection is interrupted.

Safety

In machine safety, Performance Level (PL) and Category (Cat) are often used to assess the safety of a machine. PL describes the safety performance of a safety system based on the likelihood of dangerous errors. Cat describes the safety measures based on the risk analysis of the machine.

Vertical plane

The vertical plane refers to the area that the radar sensor can detect in the vertical direction. This means that the sensor is capable of detecting movements that occur within a certain angle relative to the sensor in the vertical direction.

Horizontal plane

The horizontal plane refers to the area that the radar sensor can detect in the horizontal direction. This means that the sensor is capable of detecting movements that occur within a certain angle relative to the sensor in the horizontal direction.

Restart time-out

A restart timeout refers to the period of time that elapses before a system or application is automatically restarted following a failure or crash. It is a predetermined interval within which the system or application is automatically started in an attempt to resolve the issue.
