Warning sounds
When the robot drives with muted protective fields, it displays a sound. In System > Settings
> Safety system, you can choose which sound the robot makes and the volume of the sound.
CAUTION
Changing in the Safety system can cause the robot not to comply with safety
standards.
It is the responsibility of the commissioner that the warning sounds are audible in the robot's
work environment.
3.10 Limiting safety-related functions
MiR500 has several built-in safety-related functions that are used to ensure safe operation in
the environment it is designed to be used in.
Advanced control software ensures that the drive patterns are within safety related limits
and thereby avoid triggering a safety function. Violations of limits will hence only occur in
exceptional cases. Nevertheless, if a limit is violated, the safety system issues a category 0
stop (stopping by “immediate removal of power to the machine actuators according to IEC
60204-1”) followed by a controlled brake which brings MiR500 to a stop.
See Technical specifications on our website for more details.
Collision avoidance
The collision avoidance safety function ensures that the robot will come to a stop before it
collides with a human or object.
