FR series option Robot Safety Solutions
Introduction
This "Robot Safety Solutions" makes it available to use industrial robots without installing safety fences and construct a safe robot system with high productivity.
*Conduct a risk assessment and check that the risk is sufficiently reduced before using these features.
Please refer to the Catalog for details.
Features
Safely limited position function
The safely limited position function (SLP) allows for the operating range to be limited, and prevents the robot from entering areas where people exist.
Safely limited speed function
The safely limited speed function (SLS) allows for the robot's operating speed to be limited and the robot to decelerate or stop if a person nears the robot.
Safe operating stop function, Safety I/O, Safety communication function, Safety logic edit
- Safe operating stop function:
This function checks that the robot has stopped without shutting off power to the motors in the robot. This makes it possible to make automatic and fast operation recovery from stops. - Safety IO:
The duplicate safety I/O (input: 8 points, output: 4 points) supports connection to safety devices. - Safe communication function:
The safety devices connected to the safety remote I/O module of the safety CPU are available via CC-Link IE TSN. - Safety logic edit:
Safety logic edit facilitates the construction and operation of safety systems. Safety I/O or other states can be used to set whether to activate safety functions.
How to get a safety solution
There are two types of methods to get a safety solution. Select a method that is relevant to your needs.
Robot safety option
CC-Link IE TSN safety communication function
System configurations
Select a method that is relevant to your needs.
Using the robot safety option
A simple configuration of a robot and robot safety option allows for robot safety functions to be used.
(Applicable robot controllers: CR800-D/R/Q)
- Safety devices can be directly connected to the robot controller with safety I/O.
- The robot safety option is required for each robot.
Using the CC-Link IE TSN safety communication function
The safety devices connected to the safety remote I/O module of the safety CPU can be used with multiple robots.
(Applicable robot controller: CR800-R)
- Using safety communication and safety CPU can reduce the number of safety I/Os and safety relays.
This helps construct a safety system with less wiring and reduced costs. - The safety communication function achieves flexible safety system control in association with the safety CPU.
- The robot safety option is not required.
