General Information; Safety In The Manipulator System - ABB IRC5 Product Manual

1.2.2. General Information

1.2.2.1. Safety in the manipulator 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 total 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
manipulator is installed.
The users of ABB industrial manipulators 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 manipulator system are designed and installed
correctly. Personnel working with manipulators must be familiar with the operation and
handling of the industrial manipulator as described in the applicable documents, for example:
Connection of external safety devices
Apart from the built-in safety functions, the manipulator is also supplied with an interface for
the connection of external safety devices. Via this interface, an external safety function can
interact with other machines and peripheral equipment. This means that control signals can
act on safety signals received from the peripheral equipment as well as from the manipulator.
Limitation of liability
Any information given in this manual regarding safety must not be construed as a warranty
by ABB that the industrial manipulator will not cause injury or damage even if all safety
instructions are complied with.
