Complementary information
If a person approaches and then moves away from the robot, the protective fields must
be interrupted and become free again in a specific sequence (safe sequence monitor‐
ing). In the event of a sequence error, it cannot be ensured that the person has left
again. The safety system will switch to the safe state in this event. Automated robot
restart is prevented.

Requirements for the application
•
The robot controller must be a KUKA type KR C4 and support the following
options:
°
KUKA.SafeOperation
°
KUKA.EtherNet/IP
™
M/S
°
CONFIGURATION CIP Safety™
•
Robots and humans perform their work in the same workspace, but at different
times (cooperation,
see "Human-robot interaction", page 13
).
•
The robot works at a fixed position.
•
Access to the hazardous area must be designed so that the protective fields of the
safety laser scanner cover the entire access area of the hazardous area. A person
cannot enter or reach into the hazardous area without interrupting the protective
fields.
•
Bypassing the protective field (e.g. by reaching around or stepping over it) is not
possible and this is ensured by additional measures as necessary.
•
The area to be monitored is free from all airborne particles or process residues in
its operational status.
