1.2.2 Safety in the manipulator system
Validity and responsibility
The information does not cover how to design, install and operate a complete
system, nor does it cover all peripheral equipment that can influence the safety of
the entire system. To protect personnel, the complete system must be designed
and installed in accordance with the safety requirements set forth in the standards
and regulations of the country where the manipulator is installed.
The users of ABB industrial manipulators are responsible for ensuring that the
applicable safety laws and regulations in the country concerned are observed and
that the safety devices necessary to protect people working with the manipulator
system are designed and installed correctly. Personnel working with manipulators
must be familiar with the operation and handling of the industrial manipulator as
described in the applicable documents, for example:
• Operating manual - IRC5 with FlexPendant
• Product manual
Connection of external safety devices
Apart from the built-in safety functions, the manipulator is also supplied with an
interface for the connection of external safety devices. An external safety function
can interact with other machines and peripheral equipment via this interface. This
means that control signals can act on safety signals received from the peripheral
equipment as well as from the manipulator.
Limitation of liability
Any information given in this manual regarding safety must not be construed as a
warranty by ABB that the industrial manipulator will not cause injury or damage
even if all safety instructions are complied with.
