Safety I/O
This Controller has safety-compliant safety inputs (5ch) and safety outputs (3ch).
- Safety inputs (category 3 PLd)
- Safety outputs (category 3 PLd)
Emergency stop switches, safeguards, laser curtains, and similar devices can be connected to the safety inputs.
Safety PLCs and similar devices can be connected to the safety outputs.
The safety inputs and outputs have a redundant design, and an error occurs if the redundant circuits are mismatched for two seconds. If an error occurs, the Controller must be restarted.
An external power supply is required to use the safety I/O. Also, various settings must be configured using the "Safety Function Manager" to use the safety I/O. For details on the setting procedure, refer to the following manual.
"Robot Controller Safety Function Manual"
Turn off the power before connecting to the safety I/O connectors.
WARNING
Cables should be connected at all times. Use a guard cover to protect the cables. Do not put heavy objects on the cables, bend or pull on the cables forcibly, or allow the cables to be pinched. Damaged cables, broken wires, or contact failure is extremely hazardous and may result in electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot system.
