SUPPLEMENTARY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS | AOS502 STS
3.2 System components
All components of the AOS502 STS system are prepared for their use on crane systems
for the handling of goods and containers.
LMS511 laser scanner with weather hood
The LMS511 laser scanners are designed for outdoor use in harsh ambient conditions
and are fitted with a weather protection hood. All input and output signals from the laser
scanners are directly connected to the central Flexi Soft control.
Fig. 2: LMS511 laser scanner with weather hood
The LMS511 laser scanners have a monitoring radius of 80 m / 38 m for black objects
with 10% remission and a scan angle of 190°.
They feature automatic contamination measuring for the front screen. The contamination
signals can be merged using the central Flexi Soft control and can be output via a shared
application diagnostic output.
The laser scanners are also equipped with an internal heater.
The Flexi Soft control
The Flexi Soft control for the AOS502 STS system consists of the CPU0 central main
module with a configuration memory and two XTIO I/O expansion modules.
The two I/O expansion modules provide the input and output signals from the AOS502
STS. The communication with the connected laser scanners and with the higher-level
crane control occurs via the switching signals.
The test target
The self-diagnosis of the object detection system occurs via the continuous detection of
an external test target. During this process, the corresponding scanner monitoring field is
infringed by the test target. Only by using external test targets can the full functional range
of the AOS502 STS system be ensured.
At least one test target is required to continue the self-diagnosis of the system. It is also
possible to use a common test target for several laser scanners.
In crane applications, such as ship-to-shore crane systems, a part of the crane body is
defined as the test target.

Configuration
The configuration file contains all the functions required to evaluate the system based on
the scenarios at the industrial cranes and to cyclically test the laser scanners.
It is located on the USB stick supplied and is loaded onto the Flexi Soft control via file
download.
The size and geometry of the monitoring fields must be adapted to the existing conditions
on-site.
3.3 System functionality
The AOS502 STS is a self-testing object detection system whose functionality as a whole
is monitored by the Flexi Soft control. During later movement by a boom (gantry travel),
the system prevents collisions with exposed ship superstructures, such as the radar
system, and between neighboring cranes.
The AOS502 STS provides protection against collisions by means of two laser scanners,
which are positioned on the right and left sides of the boom. These generate a horizontal
monitored area along the boom, which covers its entire length.
In addition, depending on the mounting process, the system offers protection from
collisions with neighboring cranes during lateral movements through the monitored areas
oriented to the rear.

Note
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 3
If an object is detected in the monitored area, the system sends a slow-down signal
(warning signal) to the crane, followed by a stop signal, in case the crane is to continue
traveling.
For this purpose, the output signals of the laser scanners are evaluated and processed by
the Flexi Soft control.
As an option, relays can be controlled for the purposes of electrical isolation, e.g., the
SICK UE10-3OS safety relay.

4.1 Monitoring fields and evaluation cases
Monitoring fields
Evaluation cases
The scanned area of the laser scanners is divided into different fields, known as
monitoring fields. The size and geometry of the monitoring fields can vary and must be
configured on-site depending on the installation position and the alignment of the laser
scanners.
The monitoring fields are adapted using the SOPAS configuration software supplied.
Each monitoring field is linked to an evaluation case (EVC). An evaluation case determines
the way the monitoring field is evaluated and which switching output is addressed.
Evaluation cases can be activated via input signals depending on the required scenarios.
Ten different evaluation cases can be configured and permanently saved in each laser
scanner. Depending on the input signals that are present for the evaluation case, the
laser scanner switches between the cases.
Fig. 4: Activating an evaluation case
4.1.1 Prepared evaluation cases (EVCs)
Every laser scanner is prepared with eight evaluation cases for use in the AOS502 STS.

4.1.2 Input and output signals
All input and output signals from the laser scanners are directly connected to the
Flexi Soft control.
The Out 1 to Out 5 LMS outputs signal the status of the assigned monitoring field to the
respective inputs of the Flexi Soft control.
The Flexi Soft control analyzes the status signals from the laser scanners based on the
stored monitoring scenarios and transmits corresponding stop and warning signals to
the higher-level crane control.
PROJECT PLANNING 4
Note
Fig. 5: Interaction between the input and output signals
LMS output Out 6 is used to signal the contamination of the laser scanner to the Flexi Soft
control. If contamination is low, a warning is displayed; if contamination is high, an error is
displayed.

4.2 Dimensioning the monitoring fields
With respect to their geometry, all monitoring fields must be adapted to the existing
conditions on-site.
The monitoring fields always start at the relevant laser scanner and span the stored
length and depth.
4.2.1 Size and alignment of the fields for crane-to-ship collision protection
The monitoring fields for the boom (crane-to-ship collision protection) are already predefined as rectangles in the SOPAS configuration software. Typically, you will simply have
to adapt the specific dimensions.
The pre-assignment assumes that the laser scanner is positioned roughly in the center
of the monitored area.
Warning field
Fig. 6: Size and alignment of the fields for crane-to-ship collision protection
By default, the monitoring fields for the booms are pre-defined with the following
dimensions:
Tab. 3: Field sizes for crane-to-ship collision protection
The depth of the fields is generally based on the response time of the crane and its
stopping distance.

SUPPLEMENTARY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS | AOS502 STS
4.2.2 Size and alignment of the fields for crane-to-crane collision protection
The crane-to-crane collision protection can be used when the installation position and the
resulting inclination angle of the laser scanner allow this. Laser scanners with strong
inclination angles can only scan between the neighboring cranes to a certain degree. This
means a necessary stopping field cannot be completely covered.
A suitable layout for a stopping field can therefore not be determined. That is why the
evaluation cases and the stopping fields for the crane-to-crane collision protection are
predefined, but their geometries are not yet defined (empty).
The stopping fields should be wedge-shaped.
Due to the crane movements during operation, a suitable distance of the stopping field
to the crane body must be considered (distance d in the following figure). A minimum
distance of ≥ 0.5 m is recommended.
PROJECT PLANNING 4
Fig. 8: Size and alignment of the fields for crane-to-crane collision protection
If the distance is too small, the monitoring field will impinge on the crane body and trigger
a stop erroneously.

4.2.3 Size and position of the test fields
The system’s self-monitoring test fields are typically aligned with a suitable flat object

crane girders is used as the test target.

The test fields are pre-defined. They are formed as triangles and must be adapted to the
existing conditions on-site.

SUPPLEMENTARY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS | AOS502 STS
The test fields on the right and left must clearly and reliably impinge on the crane girders.
Take into account tolerances resulting from mechanical movements.
In order to avoid reflections on the surface of the external test target, the area of the test
target must not be covered with a glossy coating.
Ideally, the test target should be outside the longest monitoring field (approx. 0.5 m from
the edge of the monitoring field). A standard value for the distance from the laser scanner
is > 0.5 m. The width of the test field on the test target must be at least 100 mm.

4.3.2 Inclination angle of the scan plane
To enable the area below the boom to be fully monitored, the laser scanners are tilted
forward slightly to position the scan plane at an angle.
The extent of the inclination is subject to the selected mounting position. The further the
laser scanner is mounted from the lower edge, the greater the inclination must be.
The figure below illustrates the pre-set field sizes for the warning and stopping fields along
the boom from the side view.

5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting the laser scanners
The aim of the AOS502 STS is to avoid collisions with exposed ship superstructures and
with neighboring cranes.
The reliable and problem-free operation of the system depends primarily on the proper
planning and mounting of the laser scanners.
5.1.1 Position of the laser scanners
In principle, the laser scanners are positioned in the center of the working range. The
advantage of this is that the objects to be detected (such as ship superstructures or radar
systems) are relatively close to laser scanner. This ensures reliable detection.
Fig. 16: Mounting the laser scanners – central position on the boom
Note
Positioning the laser scanners centrally does not impair the lateral crane-to-crane collision
protection, as the crane bodies to be detected are relatively large objects for the laser
scanner and are always reliably detected.
5.1.2 Inclination of the laser scanners
To ensure that monitoring also takes place right up to the lower edge of the boom, it is
advisable to mount, for example, a bracket with extension so that the laser scanner can
be positioned lower down.
The expansion bracket should be able to be swiveled upward to provide better access.
Fig. 17: Mounting of the laser scanner with extended bracket and small inclination angle
Note
As the boom is raised up and down, you must ensure that the bracket demonstrates the
required stability, as the laser scanner will be swung along with it.

5.1.3 Mounting on booms with encompassing trolley
On booms where the trolley travels all the way along, the laser scanners (1) must be
positioned above the rails for the trolley (2).
MOUNTING 5
Fig. 18: Mounting the laser scanners – boom with full-travel trolley
For this type of mounting, the laser scanner (1) must have a greater inclination to enable

Note
The Flexi Soft control and the laser scanners must be connected to the same voltage
supply.
If using multiple power supplies, a 0 V potential equalization between the individual power
supplies must be established.
To do this, establish 0 V connections for all power supply units.

7.1 Configuration
The AOS502 STS is configured using the SOPAS configuration software and the Flexi Soft
Designer.
LMS - SOPAS
The monitoring fields and evaluation cases required to prevent collisions are already
available in the laser scanners. The response times for normal system operation are predefined.
Adapt the geometry of the monitoring fields to the existing conditions on-site.
▸
You can find additional information on configuration of the laser scanners and using the
SOPAS configuration software in the AOS Prime operating instructions.
Flexi Soft
The configuration required to operate the AOS502 STS system is available in the project
file on the USB stick supplied.
With the aid of the Flexi Soft Designer, transfer the configuration via file download to
▸
the Flexi Soft control.
You can find additional information on downloading the configuration files with the
Flexi Soft Designer in the AOS Prime operating instructions or in the separate Flexi Soft
QuickStart instructions on the USB stick.
7.2 Checking the stopping and warning response of the system
During system construction, there will generally be no ship beneath the crane. The system
shutdown behavior can however be checked by placing corresponding objects in the
individual fields.
Checking crane-to-ship collision protection
Use simple equipment, such as lasher bars with an object attached, to actively infringe
▸
the individual monitoring fields.
Checking crane-to-crane collision protection
Use simple equipment, such as lasher bars with an object attached, to actively infringe
▸
the individual monitoring fields.
Recommendation
If possible, move the crane sideways toward the neighboring crane and check that the
▸
behavior is correct.
If the stop signal is too early or too late, adapt the geometry of the stopping field
▸
accordingly.
Checking stop and warning signals
Check whether the behavior of the output signals of the system to the inputs of the
▸
crane control (usually PLC) is correct
