How to create the geofence data

Introduction

This article provides a detailed explanation on how to create a geofence to freely set contact danger areas and deviation prevention areas with your 3DMG construction equipment.
By setting up a geofence, you will be alerted when approaching a geofence area and the area can be clearly indicated.
The tablet app emits an audible warning to alert the operator of the danger.

The geofence function may not operate properly depending on the environment and conditions of use.
Please do not overconfidently trust the function and use it only after understanding the function and conditions of use.
Unavailable for 2DMG mdoe,2 Piece Boom and Swing Boom at this moment.

Procedures and Explanation

Activating the geofence mode

1. open "select screen", tap 【"1" common setting button】 with the gear mark, turn on 【"2" Geofence】 and tap the check box.

2. Select 【"1" Machine Guidance】and 【"2"check the notice displayed on the screen.】

Basic settings for geofence mode

1. tap 【"1" menu button】, select【 "2" Geofence Settings】 in the menu, and then select 【"3" Geofence Basic Settings.】

2. Select 【"1" Geofence Type】 and proceed to the next step to make 【"2" Basic settings (Radius, Height, 2D or 3D, Alert type, Detection interval, Transparency, and Color.)】

*For reference, here is the procedure for the circle type

Wall type is only available in 3D, with default settings for thickness and height.
For Line type, only 3D type, you can set the radius to the center line when connecting point A and point B.

3. After the basic settings, set 【"1" Alert Settings】 for geofence intrusion, and 【"2" Detection Range for each part of the construction machine】 for thrust detection settings.

Alert setting: Lights up and sounds on the screen when the machine detects a geofence area created by the machine.

Setting of collision detection: Referring to the illustration, measure and set the detection range of boom, arm, and bucket.
X: Length Y: Width Z: Vertical width
A: Angular area of turning range

B and C: Radius from center of machine body

D: Vertical height with respect to revolving frame

Creating a geofence

1. Tap 【"1" the shortcut icon,】 then select the 【"2"Create Geoid Fence icon,】【"3" choose the type of geoid fence】 you wish to create, and then proceed.

2. Confirm that enter the name, the caution to be set, and the necessary input values (shape dimensions, coordinates, etc.) to create the geofence, then check the geofence you created is reflected in the list.

The following is the procedure for the circle type for reference.

Enter the coordinates of the cutting edge or directly input points and radius R

For 2D: A circle area can be created

For 3D: You can set the height of the circle area

Geofence list

1. Tap 【"1" the menu】 and select 【"2" Project file.】

2. Touch 【"3" the edit icon】 of the selected project.

Tap 【"4" the geoid fence icon】 then the created list will be displayed.

Touch the icon to confirm the view of the shapes you have created.

4. How to check

If a geofence is entered with collision detection set, a caution will be generated and the operator will be alerted.

Supplementation

Geofence Models

For Wall type

After entering coordinates (cutting edge point or direct input), determine length and width.

Enter the height (H) to specify the height of the wall.

Offsetting can be used to adjust the height.

For Line type

Obtain points A and B from the cutting edge points or by direct input, and determine the radius centered on the line between the two points.

Offset is available for height adjustment.

Display function of detection area

Detection area display setting
Select 【”1"Guidance Settings】 from the menu and turn ON 【"3"the detection area Display mode】 on the 【”2"application settings】.
The detection area of the bucket, arm, boom, and body can be displayed.

Geofence data transfer function

You can download geofence areas created in Pilot (WEB) and set them up in the jobsite.

Tap the Download button to download the geofence data and confirm that it appears in the list.

Internet environment is required for downloading.
