Software Safety Configuration

Description

This section covers how to access the robot safety settings. It is made up of items that help you set up the robot Safety Configuration.

Before you configure your robot safety settings, your integrator must conduct a risk assessment to guarantee the safety of personnel and equipment around the robot. A risk assessment is an evaluation of all work procedures throughout the robot lifetime, conducted in order to apply correct safety configuration settings. You must set the following in accordance with the risk assessment.

  1. The integrator must prevent unauthorized persons from changing the safety configuration e.g. installing password protection.

  2. Use and configuration of the safety-related functions and interfaces for a specific robot application.

  3. Safety configuration settings for set-up and teaching before the robot arm is powered on for the first time.

  4. All safety configuration settings accessible on this screen and sub-tabs.

  5. The integrator must ensure that all changes to the safety configuration settings comply with the risk assessment.
