Overspeed detection

The Overspeed function makes the robot enter Protective stop and report an error if it drives or turns faster than pre-defined safety limits. This ensures the robot stops and enters a safe state before it becomes unstable or loses control while driving. Cases that can trigger this safety function are:

If any speed limit is exceeded, the robot reports an error. You must clear the error and press the Restart button before the robot can continue operating.

Turning angleMaximum reverse speed before Overspeed detectionMaximum forward speed before Overspeed detection
0° to 15°0.8 m/s1.5 m/s
15° to 30°0.8 m/s1.1 m/s
30° to 90°0.8 m/s0.8 m/s

When the robot is driving under one of the following conditions, the following limits apply for all driving directions:

  • 0.5 m/s when controlling the robot with the tiller and the forks are above drive height.
  • 0.3 m/s when the robot drives automatically and the forks are above drive height.
  • 0.12 m/s when controlling the robot with the tiller and the tiller is in Home position.
