2.5 PLd CAT3 Safety Function
RG2
RG6
A safety-rated function has been designed as two buttons at the two arms of the product, conforming to
ISO 13849-1 PLd CAT3.
This Safety Function has a max response time of 100 ms and a MTTF of 2883 years.
The behavior of the safety system is described below:
If something activates the two Safety Buttons, see picture below, the safety control system stops motion
of the two arms of the product. Motion is then prevented as long as one or both of the two buttons are
activated.
If this happens while running the robot program, user can detect this condition with the help of the
provided status information and execute any necessary step on the robot.
To come back to normal operation with the gripper there are provided commands to reset the gripper.
Before resetting the gripper always make sure that no part will be
dropped due to the loss of gripper power. If Dual Quick Changer is used
it will cycle the power for both sides.
