3.3.5 PROFIsafe F-Host
Introduction
When using PROFIsafe F-Host, the robot controller acts as a PROFIsafe controller
(
F-Host ) and can host safe I/O devices ( F-Devices) directly. All I/O communication
for the SafeMove functionality is done via PROFIsafe (safe PROFINET).
A RobotWare license with the options PROFINET Controller/Device and PROFIsafe
F-Host&Device is required to run PROFIsafe F-Host on the robot controller.
Limitations
• The PROFIsafe F-Host can communicate with up to 8 safe devices, PROFIsafe
F-Device, with maximum 8 slots (modules) per device, where each slot can
have maximum 8 byte.
Install and configure safe I/O devices
For information on how to connect and configure the safe I/O devices, see
Application manual - PROFINET Controller/Device .
Operator acknowledge
There are two ways to acknowledge a change in the PROFIsafe communication,
for example if the communication cable was disconnected and reconnected:
• By tapping the F-Host Op. Ack. button in the FlexPendant user interface,
see PROFIsafe F-Host operator acknowledge on page 115 .
• By setting the system input ProfiSafeOpAck , see Activate the system inputs
and outputs on page 71 .
