Robot-Related Safety Standards Compliance

To comply with ISO10218 (safety-related standard for robots) during operations with cooperative control function, follow the conditions below.

• Use an ISO10218 compatible robot controller for both the master and slave controllers. Wire correctly to safety signals.
  For details, refer to the table below.

• Do not connect a teach pendant to the slave controller.
• Specify robots in motion clearly.
  Perform the following two actions to specify robots in motion clearly.
  

  (1) Make robot names assigned to interlocked robots visibly identifiable.
  When the cooperative control function is used, assign robot names, such as "Robot0" and "Robot1", to interlocked robots. Make them visibly identifiable to understand which robot name indicates which robot.   <Example> Place a label on a robot (Prepare a label by you).

  (2) Make it visible whether the robot motor is turned ON.
  <Example> Turn ON the light using a Mini I/O output signal interlocked with the motor power. Connect it to both the master and slave controllers. RC8A wiring example In addition to safety signals, connect the wiring shown below to the Mini I/O connector. RC8 wiring example In addition to safety signals, connect the wiring shown below to the Mini I/O connector.
