The first safe camera system for three-dimensional zone monitoring
SafetyEYE is the first safe camera system to safely monitor and control potentially hazardous processes for safeguarding man and machine (safety) and to protect objects from unauthorised access (security).

Sensing device
The sensing device comprises three different cameras. These observe what's happening and transmit greyscale images. Unlike existing systems that use several cameras, in this case there is no need to calibrate the camera.
Users merely have to install the sensing device above the zone that requires monitoring. So compared with the time it takes to position, set up and check conventional safety devices, SafetyEYE is ready for operation after a very short period of time.

Control unit
The control unit consists of an analysis unit and an integrated programmable safety and control system.
The analysis unit receives and processes the image data. In doing so it generates the signals - detection zone violations for example - for the integrated programmable safety and control system.
This in turn forms the interface with the actuator technology. As soon as the safety and control system receives the signal that the closest detection zone has been violated, it immediately shuts down the relevant machine. Other reactions are also a possibility in the area of security.
The programmable safety and control system is part of the analysis unit, with an optional SafetyBUS p/Safety NET p interface. So you can benefit from decentralised, safe networking of all components, fast reaction times for your plant, user-friendly diagnostics and therefore high availability.

Software: SafetyEYE Configurator
As complex as the safe camera system may appear at first glance, it's not at all difficult to use SafetyEYE. As the software works intuitively, warning zones and detection zones can be configured quickly and easily on the PC via the SafetyEYE Configurator.
The user is guided through the whole project step by step. Warning and detection zones are set up at the click of a mouse. As well as assigning properties to the 3D zones, it is also possible to assign actions to the inputs and outputs on the PSS programmable safety and control system.
