ABB FlexLoader, Applications Manual

Page: 15 / 68

The FlexLoader Standard Safety Center used with Eden door switches does not
evaluate door locking in its safety function. This has to be considered in the risk
assessment.
Safe handling
Make sure that the users cannot be exposed to hazards, including slipping, tripping,
and falling hazards.
It must be possible to safely turn off tools, such as milling cutters, etc. Make sure
that the guards remain closed until the cutters stop rotating.
It should be possible to release parts by manual operation.
Safe design
The emergency stop buttons must be positioned in easily accessible places so
that the system can be stopped quickly. If any of the buttons do not stop all the
robot workcell motion, each emergency stop button must be marked (if more than
one is provided) to indicate its designated safety function.
Changes to Pluto program
Applicable for systems with the optional safety center.
WARNING
The Pluto program is a critical part of the automation cell's safety system.
Apart from configuration changes, no other changes may be made without
qualified review and validation regarding safety risks, safety functions and the
overall behavior of the safety system.
