1.2 Safety
Introduction
This chapter introduces the safety principles and specifications that should be
followed when operating the robot or robot system. Integrators and users must read this
manual carefully, and the contents with warning signs need to be mastered and strictly
followed. Because the robot system is complex and dangerous, users need to fully
understand the risks of operation and strictly abide by and implement the specifications
and requirements in this manual. Users and integrators need to have sufficient safety
awareness and comply with the industrial robot safety standard ISO 10218.
Elfin robots are equipped with a variety of built‐in safety functions and safety I/O,
digital and analog control signals to and from the electrical interface, used to connect
other machines and additional protection devices. Each safety function and I/O are
constructed in accordance with EN ISO13849‐1:2008. The d performance level (Pld) of the
three types of structures is used to understand the configuration of safety functions,
inputs, and outputs in the user interface. About the connection of safety equipment and
I/O.
Caution:
1. The use and configuration of safety functions and interfaces must follow the risk
assessment procedures of each robot application.
2. If the robot finds a fault or violation in the safety system (for example, a line in the
emergency stop circuit is cut off or a safety limit violation occurs), the robot will
immediately cut off the power and stop.
3. The stop time should be considered as part of the application risk assessment.
Danger:
1. The difference between the safety configuration parameters used and the risk
assessment can lead to risks that cannot be reasonably eliminated or risks that
cannot be sufficiently reduced.
2. Make sure that the tool and jaws are properly connected to avoid danger if the
power supply is interrupted.
3. The end effector is not protected by the security system of Shenzhen Han Robot
Co., Ltd. End effector and/or connection cable function is not monitored.
