"Safety functions overview" on the next page. Several safety functions have been designed and implemented in MiR1350. Some safety functions are intended for integration with a connected top module. You must use the Auxiliary safety functions and Auxiliary emergency stop interfaces to use these functions.
6.2, the safety configuration file has been modified from the original. 6.3 Safety-related functions The following functions are implemented in MiR1350 and are not dependent on a top module. Emergency stop The Emergency stop circuit goes through the four Emergency stop buttons in MiR1350 and then through the Auxiliary emergency stop interface where you can connect external input to bring the robot into an Emergency stop.
Page 81
The robot stops when it detects an obstacle. The Protective fields on the left and right sides of MiR1350 are 350 mm when the robot is driving, and the field on the side opposite of the driving direction is always 250 mm.
Page 86
Add the action Mute protective fields from the Safety system menu. Edit the action parameters so the Protective fields are muted. MiR1350 cannot mute specific Protective fields; you can either mute all or none of the fields. Otherwise, the robot reports an error.
The Hold-to-run function ensures that the robot does not drive when there is no signal from an external control device of the hold-to-run type. Use the Connection interface for MiR Controller in the robot's rear compartment to connect a control device—see "Rear compartment"...
Page 91
The System emergency stop function can be used if the top module has its own Emergency stop circuit. Use this function to make it so both MiR1350 and the top module are brought into Emergency stop when either system is triggered.
Page 95
If you do not have a shelf lifting top module mounted on top of the robot, this interface should remain inactive at all times. The Shelf mode interface is a signal specifically used when MiR Shelf Lift is mounted to the robot. The signal activates when the robot is carrying a shelf, triggering the robot to change to the shelf- specific Protective fields and use the laser scanners to check that the four shelf legs are detected around the robot, ensuring that the robot has successfully picked up the shelf.
7.1 User responsibilities There are three main user types that interact with MiR1350. All other persons in the vicinity of the robot application are considered indirect users and must know how to act when they are close to the robot. For example, they must be aware that visibly-marked operating hazard zones must be respected.
