Chapter 2: Operational Safety ! WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY RISK. Do not wire user-supplied Manual/Automatic contacts in parallel with the Front Panel switch contact. This would violate the “Single Point of Control” principle and might allow Automatic (high speed) mode to be selected while an operator is in the cell. ! WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY RISK. To fulfill the “Single Point of Control” requirement, do not place the Manu- al/Automatic and High Power On controls in multiple locations. After putting the robot into Manual mode, the operator should remove and keep the key until the cell is ready to be put back into automatic mode.
The system should not be wired so that a PLC or another operator can put the system back into Automatic mode. ! WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY RISK. Disconnect robot air lines before running the Commissioning wizard until the procedure is complete to prevent unsecured pneumatic lines from accidentally injuring personnel. ! WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK. Not only the robot, but all equipment that operates in conjunction with the robot must be stopped by the same emergency stop switch. ! WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK. The enable switch of the robot and the equipment must be located outside of the safety barrier.
The operator must carefully check the entire work cell when operating the enable switch. ! WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY RISK. Before starting work in the safety barrier when the robot is activated, create a procedure to secure safety and operation under abnormal conditions. Educate all the operators to understand the procedure before they enter the workspace. When more than one robot is installed in the safety barrier, the power to the other robots should be locked out to prevent any except the active robot from being turned on. ! WARNING: The mounting structure for the robot must be rigid enough to pre- vent vibration and flexing during robot operation. IMPORTANT:
Avoid applying excessive power, pressure, or strain to the wir- ing, pneumatic tubing, and connections to prevent damaging them. 18304-000 Rev. F Robot Safety Guide 17
