8.6. Safety I/O
Safety I/O This section describes dedicated safety input (Yellow terminal with red text) and configurable
I/O (Yellow terminals with black text) when configured as safety I/O.
Safety devices and equipment must be installed according to the safety instructions and the
risk assessment in chapterSafety.
All safety I/O are paired (redundant), so a single fault does not cause loss of the safety
function. However, the safety I/Omust be kept as two separate branches.
The permanent safety input types are:
•
Robot Emergency Stop for emergency stop equipment only
•
Safeguard Stop for protective devices
•
3PE Stop for protective devices

Use the configurable I/O to set up additional safety I/O functionality, e.g. Emergency Stop
Output. Use the PolyScope interface to define a set of configurable I/O for safety functions.
CAUTION
Failure to verify and test the safety functions regularly can lead to
hazardous situations.
•
Safety functions shall be verified before putting the robot into
operation.

Safety functions shall be tested regularly.
