In situations with low exposure consideration factors, European Standard EN 1050
specifies use of a Category 1 Control System per EN 954. EN 954 defines a Category 1
Control System as one that employs Category B components designed to withstand
environmental influences, such as voltage, current, temperature, EMI, and well-tried
safety principles. The standard SmartController control system described in this user's
guide employs hardware components in its safety system that meet or exceed the
requirements of the EU Machinery Directive and Low Voltage Directive.
Furthermore, the standard control system is fully hardened to all EMI influences per the
EU EMC Directive and meets all functional requirements of ISO 10218 (EN 775)
Manipulating Robots Safety. In addition, a software-based reduced speed and maximum
current limit provided to the motor by the amplifier have been incorporated to limit speed
and impact forces on the Operator and production tooling when the robot is operated in
Manual mode.
In consideration of the above, the standard Adept SmartController Control System meets
or exceeds the requirements imposed by the EN 954 specified Category 1 level of safety.

Precautions and Required Safeguards
This manual must be read by all personnel who install, operate, or maintain Adept
systems, or who work within or near the workcell.
Maximum Thrust
Adept Python Modules systems include computer-controlled mechanisms that are
capable of exerting considerable force. Like all robot and motion systems, and most
industrial equipment, they must be treated with respect by the user and the operator (see

WARNING:
Adept Technology strictly prohibits
installation, commissioning, or operation of an Adept
robot without adequate safeguards according to
applicable local and national standards. Installations in EU
and EEA countries must comply with EN 775/ISO 10218,
especially sections 5, 6, EN 292-2, EN 954-1, and
EN 60204-1, especially section 13.
