Patent Images
1. An automatic safety system comprising:
- a multipurpose compactor including at least one transmitter fixedly coupled thereto; and
a movable unit including a transceiver configured to transmit an identification code at a time interval fixedly coupled thereto, wherein the transceiver utilizes radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate with the at least one transmitter and causes the multipurpose compactor to stop when the identification code is not transmitted;
wherein the at least one transmitter is adapted to emit a spherical propagation of a protective field for a direction independent protection of an operator, andwherein an identification code fault command is generated which is representative of the fact that the identification code of the movable unit is not transmitted correctly or is not received correctly, whereby a first and a second drive stop command is generated to stop the drives in both drive directions via a second shutdown pathway.
