Reducing Risks Around the Robot

Step

Action

1

Install external safety-related devices in accordance to local regulations and standards.

2

When designing the safety-related devices, assume that the robot cannot be stopped by internal logic and must be stopped by the external safety-related devices.

NOTE: More information about the circuitry of emergency stop and additional protection elements is contained in the document Lexium 52 Hardware Guide, Lexium 62 Hardware Guide, or Lexium 62 ILM Hardware Guide.

3

Only for VRKP4L0R:

If necessary, mount an ILM62-DIO8 module on the rotational axis drive.

NOTE: After assembling a DIO8 module, the performance can be affected due to decreased heat dissipation and possible overheating.
