Universal Robots UR30 - Software Safety Limits

Description Under normal conditions, i.e.when no robot stop is in effect, the safety system operates
in a Safety Mode associated with a set of safety limits
1
:
•
Normal mode is the safety mode that is active by default
•
Reduced mode is active when the robot Tool Center Point (TCP) is positioned
beyond a Trigger Reduced mode plane, or when triggered using a configurable
input.
•
Recovery mode activates when a safety limit from the active limit set is violated,
the robot arm performs a Stop Category 0. If an active safety limit, such as a joint
position limit or a safety boundary, is violated already when the robot arm is
powered on, it starts up in Recovery mode. This makes it possible to move the
robot arm back within the safety limits. While in Recovery mode, the movement of
the robot arm is restricted by a fixed limit that you cannot customize.
WARNING
Limits for joint position, tool position and tool orientation are disabled
in Recovery mode, so take caution when moving the robot arm back
within the limits.
The menu of the Safety Configuration screen enables the user to define separate sets of
safety limits for Normal and Reduced mode. For the tool and joints, Reduced mode limits
for speed and momentum are required to be more restrictive than their Normal mode
counterparts.

9.4.6. Software Safety Limits
Description The safety system limits are defined in the Safety Configuration . The safety system
receives values from the input fields and detects any violation if any the values are
exceeded. The robot controller prevents violations by making a robot stop or by reducing
the speed.
