The Dual Check Safety is a software function, using dual inputs and dual CPUs to eliminate the need for safety relays. All R-30iA controllers feature .
Benefits:
- Safety zones, manual feed and maintenance stations can be designed with safe electronics replacing limit switches and zone switches.
- System cost and installation time can be reduced while improving the reliability of the systems and cutting system costs
- All setup is done using the Teach Pendant, eliminating the need for an external PC.
- No additional safety hardware is required -- uses dual CPUs already available in R-30iA controller
- A high level of safety can be achieved (CAT 4 safety for Emergency Stop and FENCE, CAT 3 for all other functions)
Features :
- The option J566 DCS Pos./Speed Check utilizes the Dual Check Safety hardware of the R-30iA controller with its TÜV-approved safety and conforms with
- Safety category 3 of EN-954-1 .
- The robot position and speed can be safely monitored and the robot safely stopped to avoid hazards for operators and other persons.
- The Position Check features ensures that the robot stays inside a safe space or it can be locked out of a hazardous area (e.g. a manual feed station)
- The T1-Mode check monitors the safety speed of 250mm/sec.
- The Speed Check feature ensures that the robot cannot move and cause any hazard e.g. when standing at a repair position
- Safe and flexible functionality
- As protection against unauthorized changes the setup screens can be hidden and each setup item is protected by a safety code
- The stop type can be selected to be either a safe "controlled" stop or a safe and minimum distance "emergency "stop.
- 4 safe inputs can be used to connect safety gates, light barriers etc. and enable the Position and Speed Checking, when a person is in a hazardous space.
- Supports multi-robot or robot + auxiliary axes systems
