4.1 System planning
4.1.1 EC declaration of conformity and declaration of incorporation
EC declaration of
conformity
The system integrator must issue a declaration of conformity for the overall
system in accordance with Directive 98/37/EC (Machinery Directive). The dec-
laration of conformity forms the basis for the CE mark for the system. The ro-
bot system must be operated in accordance with the applicable national laws,
regulations and standards.
The robot controller has a CE mark in accordance with Directive 89/336/EEC
(EMC Directive) and Directive 73/23/EEC (Low Voltage Directive).
Declaration of incor-
poration
A declaration of incorporation is provided for the robot system. This declara-
tion of incorporation contains the stipulation that the robot system must not be
commissioned until it complies with the provisions of 98/37/EC (Machinery Di-
rective).
4.1.2 Installation site
Robot When planning the system, it must be ensured that the installation site (floor,
wall, ceiling) has the required grade of concrete and load-bearing capacity.
The principal loads acting on the mounting base are indicated in the specifica-
tions.
Robot controller It is imperative to comply with the minimum clearances of the robot controller
from walls, cabinets and other system components.
4.1.3 External safeguards
EMERGENCY STOP Additional Emergency Stop devices can be connected via interface X11 or
linked together by means of higher-level controllers (e.g. PLC).
The input/output signals and any necessary external power supplies must en-
sure a safe state in the case of an Emergency Stop.
Safety fences Requirements on safety fences are:
Safety fences must withstand all forces that are likely to occur in the
course of operation, whether from inside or outside the enclosure.
Safety fences must not, themselves, constitute a hazard.
It is imperative to comply with the minimum clearances from the danger
zone.
