Minimum distance to the hazardous area for protective field PF3
Complementary information
The value of 750 mm for the minimum size of the protective field PF3 has been derived
from the ISO 13855 standard. In this standard, 750 mm is the minimum width for pres‐
sure sensitive mats/plates so that they cannot be stepped over. Since the scanning
field of the safety laser scanner usually runs 300 mm over the floor, stepping over it is
even more difficult than with a pressure sensitive mat/plate.
4.3.4
Robot operating modes
Selecting between the robot operating modes is not a part of this safety system. You
must carry out selection of the operating mode and the safety functions in the manual
operating mode via the robot controller. You can use the operating mode selector switch
and the enabling device on the robot’s operating panel, for example.
This safety system takes the following operating modes into account:
•
Automated
•
Manual, reduced speed (signals for protective stop and safety-rated monitored
speed are bypassed).
4.3.5
Warning signs for automated restart
The safety system has an automated restart function. You must place a corresponding
warning sign on the application.
ISO 7010, warning sign W018
4.3.6
Emergency stop pushbutton requirements
Prerequisites
•
The emergency stop pushbutton must be designed according to ISO 13850 and
IEC 60204.
•
The emergency stop pushbuttons must be pressed and tested at least every
12 months.
