Abstract:
A safety device comprising:a first determining device and a second determining device which separately determine whether or not an object is in a state that causes danger; a power supplying/cutting device which supplies power to a buffer when the first determining device determines that the object is not in the state that causes danger, and which cuts off the power supply to the buffer when the first determining device determines that the object is in the state that causes danger; a controlling device which outputs a controlling signal for operating a driving system to the buffer when the second determining device determines that the object is not in the state that causes danger, and which outputs a controlling signal for stopping the driving system to the buffer when the second determining device determines that the object is in the state that causes danger; and the buffer which outputs a driver controlling signal to the driving system to operate the driving system when the power supplying/cutting device supplies the power to the buffer and the controlling device outputs the controlling signal for operating the driving system to the buffer, and which does not output the driver controlling signal to the driving system to stop the driving system when the power supplying/cutting device cuts off the power supply to the buffer and the controlling device outputs the controlling signal for stopping the driving system to the buffer.
