4.1 About Visual SafeMove
What is Visual SafeMove
Visual SafeMove is the configuration tool for SafeMove and the functional safety
options. The tool is completely integrated into the RobotStudio user interface and
takes full advantage of the user interface elements such as tabs, browsers, and
3D graphics.
Visual SafeMove is enabled for robots with the safety module option. It offers an
intuitive way to visualize and configure safety zones. Zones can be adjusted by
direct manipulation in the 3D window. Users with previous experience from
SafeMove will recognize the same terminology used as before.
Visual SafeMove works both with the real controller and the virtual controller. For
a virtual controller, a RobotStudio station should be used, which allows zones to
be generated automatically. When not running a RobotStudio station,
