8. Installation
Description
Installing the robot can require the configuration and use of input and output signals
(I/Os). These different types of I/Os and their uses are described in the following sections.
8.1. Electrical Warnings and Cautions
Warnings
Observe the following warnings for all the interface groups, including when you design and
install an application.
UR16e PolyScope X
WARNING
Failure to follow any of the below can result in serious injury or death, as the
safety functions could be overridden.
•
Never connect safety signals to a PLC that is not a safety PLC with the
correct safety level. It is important to keep safety interface signals
separated from the normal I/O interface signals.
•
All safety-related signals shall be constructed redundantly (two
independent channels).
•
Keep the two independent channels separate so a single fault cannot lead
to loss of the safety function.
WARNING: ELECTRICITY
Failure to follow any of the below can result in serious injury or death due to
electrical hazards.
•
Make sure all equipment not rated for water exposure remain dry. If water
is allowed to enter the product, lockout-tagout all power and then contact
your local Universal Robots service provider for assistance.
•
Only use the original cables supplied with the robot only. Do not use the
robot for applications where the cables are subject to flexing.
•
Use caution when installing interface cables to the robot I/O. The metal
plate in the bottom is intended for interface cables and connectors.
Remove the plate before drilling holes. Make sure that all shavings are
removed before reinstalling the plate. Remember to use correct gland
sizes.
