Protective Functions

The robot system is equipped with protective functions operated by the software to protect peripheral devices and the robot system itself. However, these functions are only intended for unexpected events.

  • Low power mode
    This mode keeps a low motor output.
    Execution of a power mode change command allows changing to a restricted state (low power mode) regardless of whether the safeguard is opened or closed and regardless of the operation mode. Low power mode ensures operator safety and reduces the risk of destruction and damage to peripheral equipment due to careless operation.

  • Dynamic braking
    The dynamic brake circuit consists of a relay that short-circuits the motor power wire at the motor side (brake action). When an emergency stop is input, or when the following abnormalities are detected, the dynamic brake is activated to stop motor rotation. (Encoder disconnection detection, overload detection, torque error detection, speed error detection, position deviation overflow detection, speed deviation overflow detection, CPU error detection, memory error detection, overheat detection)

  • Overload detection
    This detects a motor overload state.

  • Torque error detection
    This detects abnormalities in the motor torque.

  • Speed error detection
    This detects abnormalities in the motor speed.

  • Position deviation overflow detection
    This detects abnormalities in the difference between the motion command and the current position.

  • Speed deviation overflow detection
    This detects abnormalities in the difference between the speed command and actual speed.

  • Overheat detection
    This detects temperature abnormalities in the motor driver module.

  • Relay melting detection
    This detects melting or open failure of relay contacts.

  • Overvoltage detection
    This detects overvoltage errors in the Controller.

  • AC power voltage drop detection
    This detects a drop in the power supply voltage.

  • Temperature error detection
    This detects abnormalities in the Controller temperature.

  • Fan error detection
    This detects abnormalities in the fan speed.
