Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device and method for automatically adjusting safety control parameters of a conveyor are disclosed. The safety device may include various sensors and a safety control module. The safety control module may be preprogrammed with a learn-run method configured to learn operational and mechanical characteristics of a conveyor, validate the operational characteristics of the conveyor based on predefined nominal specifications, and determine a safety function with calibrated safety control parameters by which to monitor conveyor operation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for automatically adjusting safety control parameters of a conveyor having a plurality of steps extending between a first platform and a second platform, the steps being interconnected by a step chain and driven by a main drive component, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of sensors configured to output at least a step speed signal and a step detection signal; and a safety control module in communication with the sensors and in communicati…
