1.2.2 Safety in the robot system

Validity and responsibility

The information does not cover how to design, install and operate a complete
system, nor does it cover all peripheral equipment that can influence the safety of
the entire system. To protect personnel, the complete system must be designed
and installed in accordance with the safety requirements set forth in the standards
and regulations of the country where the robot is installed.
The users of ABB industrial robots are responsible for ensuring that the applicable
safety laws and regulations in the country concerned are observed and that the
safety devices necessary to protect people working with the robot system are
designed and installed correctly. Personnel working with robot must be familiar
with the operation and handling of the industrial robot as described in the applicable
documents, for example:
I
The robot system shall be designed and constructed in such a way as to allow safe
access to all areas where intervention is necessary during operation, adjustment,
and maintenance.
Users shall not be exposed to hazards, including slipping, tripping, and falling
hazards.

Connection of external safety devices

Apart from the built-in safety functions, the robot is also supplied with an interface
for the connection of external safety devices. An external safety function can
interact with other machines and peripheral equipment via this interface. This
means that control signals can act on safety signals received from the peripheral
equipment as well as from the robot.

Limitation of liability

Any information given in this manual regarding safety must not be construed as a
warranty by ABB that the industrial robot will not cause injury or damage even if
all safety instructions are complied with.
