10.4 Tolerances

The Robot Arm uses built-in tolerances that prevent safety violations. A safety tol-
erance is the difference between a safety limit and a maximum operational value.
For example, the general speed tolerance is
configures a 250mm/s speed limit, then the maximum operational speed will be
250
for fluctuations in program behavior. For example, when handling a heavy pay-
load, there may be situations where the Robot Arm needs to briefly operate above
the normal maximum operational speed to follow a programmed trajectory. An
example of such a situation is shown in figure 10.1.

10.5 Safety Checksum

The text in the top right corner of the screen gives a shorthand representation of
the safety configuration currently used by the robot. When the text changes, this
indicates that the current safety configuration has changed as well. Clicking on the
checksum displays the details about the currently active safety configuration.

10.6 Safety Modes

Under normal conditions (i.e. when no protective stop is in effect), the safety system
operates in one of the following safety modes, each with an associated set of safety
