LDI 2016

Saturday, 10/22 The ALICE Project (Augmented Live Interactively Controlled Enviroment) is an interdisciplinary research project, which melds existing technologies to pioneer a new live performance methodology. The project aims to accomplich this by enabling the performers (actor, dancer, musician, etc.) to interact with their stage environment in a dynamic and unique way. By integrating video projection, entertainment automation, motion capture, and virtual reality technologies together, the project enables new possibilities in live performance and enhance the audience's experience. This session focuses on utilizing IEC 61800-5-2 (Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems- Part 5-2: Safety requirements-Functional) components in performer flying applications. Specific attention will be focused on how advanced functional safety features were implemented in this unique performance environment. Upon completing this session, attendees will be able to: Describe Functional Safety and the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration. Recognize functional safety standards and in what systems they are applicable. Differentiate between Enable, Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Stop 1 (SS1), and Safe Stop 2 (SS2). Describe the implementation of Safe Limited Speed (SLS), and Safe Acceleration Range (SAR).  Speaker: Dan Lisowski, For The Stage LLC
