Automated Guided Vehicle
Removing the AGV out of the critical area when power supply stops.
Situation

In case of a power failure, AGV are not supplied with energy anymore and stop. Safety standards require that the AGV does not stop in fire protection doors.

Problem

In case of a power failure, fire protection doors cannot be shut if an AGV blocks the doors.

Goal

Removing the AGV out of the critical area when power supply stops.

Solution

Use of PxtFX with PxtEX via “Plug&Play” – Supplying the drive with the energy that is necessary to leave the critical area.

Advantages

Controlled stops in case of a power failure

The AGV is supplied with energy from the PxtFX to leave the critical are without needing an UPS

Bridging power failures

Power failures are bypassed
