2.4 Installation Safety
Installation Safety
Safe installation is essential for protection of people and equipment. The
following suggestions are intended to supplement, but not replace,
existing federal, local, and state laws and regulations. Additional safety
measures for personnel and equipment may be required depending on
system installation, operation, and/or location. Installation tips are as
follows:
• Be sure that only qualified personnel familiar with national codes,
local codes, and ANSI/RIA R15.06 safety standards are permitted to
install the equipment.
• Identify the work envelope of each robot with floor markings, signs,
and barriers.
• Position all controllers outside the robot work envelope.
• Whenever possible, install safety fences to protect against
unauthorized entry into the work envelope.
• Eliminate areas where personnel might get trapped between a
moving robot and other equipment (pinch points).
• Provide sufficient room inside the workcell to permit safe teaching
and maintenance procedures.
Programming Safety
All operators, programmers, plant and tooling engineers, maintenance
personnel, supervisors, and anyone working near the robot must become
familiar with the operation of this equipment. All personnel involved with
the operation of the equipment must understand potential dangers of
operation. Programming tips are as follows:
• Any modifications to PART 1 of the controller PLC can cause severe
personal injury or death, as well as damage to the robot! Do not
make any modifications to PART 1. Making any changes without the
written permission of Motoman will VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
• Some operations require standard passwords and some require
special passwords. Special passwords are for Motoman use only.
YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID if you use these special
passwords.
• Back up all programs and jobs onto a floppy disk whenever program
changes are made. To avoid loss of information, programs, or jobs, a
backup must always be made before any service procedures are
done and before any changes are made to options, accessories, or
equipment.
• The concurrent I/O (Input and Output) function allows the customer
to modify the internal ladder inputs and outputs for maximum robot
performance. Great care must be taken when making these
modifications. Double-check all modifications under every mode of
robot operation to ensure that you have not created hazards or
dangerous situations that may damage the robot or other parts of the
system.
• Improper operation can result in personal injury and/or damage to
the equipment. Only trained personnel familiar with the operation,
manuals, electrical design, and equipment interconnections of this
robot should be permitted to operate the system.
