Parameter Meaning
Use
● Display
The protection area element is shown in the graphic view.
The element is only visible if the "Display model" softkey is active.
The element is not monitored for collision.
● Monitoring
The protection area element is used for the collision avoidance.
The element is only visible if the "Monit. model" softkey is active.
● Display + monitoring
The protection area element is used for display in the graphic view
and for collision avoidance.
The element is visible in both display versions.
Height (Z) Height of the cylinder in the
Z direction.
Radius Specification of the radius
Offset (X) X component of the direction vector.
Offset (Y) Y component of the direction vector.
Offset (Z) Z component of the direction vector.
Rotary axis (X) X component of the rotation vector.
Rotary axis (Y) Y component of the rotation vector.
Rotary axis (Z) Z component of the rotation vector.
Angle of rotation The value by which the system rotates around the rotation vector.

14.7.3.6 Protection area element cone and parallel cone
You can specify the dimensions and position as well as values for the display and collision
monitoring of a cone-shaped protection area element in the "Cone" window.
Note
Cone shape
The cone shape may vary between a classic cone and a truncated cone. The following
parameter entries are permissible:
● Only values > 0 are valid for the lower radius.
● Only values > 0 are valid for the height.
● Values ≥ 0 (default value 0) are valid for the upper radius.
To obtain an inverted truncated cone, the lower radius may be less than the upper radius.
