It is the responsibility of the owner, employer, or user to take all necessary steps to guarantee the safety of all personnel in the workplace. The appropriate level of safety for your application and installation can best be determined by safety system professionals. FANUC Robotics therefore, recommends that each customer consult with such professionals in order to provide a workplace that allows for the safe application, use, and operation of FANUC Robotic systems.

Additionally, as the owner, employer, or user of a robotic system, it is your responsibility to arrange for the training of the operator of a robot system to recognize and respond to known hazards associated with your robotic system and to be aware of the recommended operating procedures for your particular application and robot installation.

FANUC Robotics therefore, recommends that all personnel who intend to operate, program, repair, or otherwise use the robotics system be trained in an approved FANUC Robotics training course and become familiar with the proper operation of the system. Persons responsible for programming the system—including the design, implementation, and debugging of application programs—must be familiar with the recommended programming procedures for your application and robot installation.

The following guidelines are provided to emphasize the importance of safety in the workplace. However, equipment must be kept safe, too. Observe the following guidelines to ensure that the workcell is set up safely. These suggestions are intended to supplement and not replace existing federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and guidelines that pertain to safety.

Never permit untrained personnel to operate the robots. The work envelope is the area defined by the maximum motion range of the robot, including any tooling attached to the wrist flange that extend this range.

If the tooling strikes an object, these devices dislodge, remove power from the system, and help to minimize damage to the tooling and robot. Pinch points are areas where personnel could get trapped between a moving robot and other equipment. The work envelope is the area defined by the maximum motion range of the robot. These include tooling attached to the wrist flange that extends this range.

Immediately report unsafe working conditions to the supervisor or safety department. However, if you must enter the work envelope, be sure all safeguards are in place, and check the teach pendant DEADMAN switch for proper operation. Only the person with the teach pendant should be in the work envelope. Failure to do so can result in injury. The workcell includes the robot and its work envelope, plus the area occupied by all external devices and other equipment with which the robot interacts.

Be prepared to press these buttons in an emergency. The robot could be waiting for an input signal that will permit it to continue activity.

Before you open the controller front panel or enter the work envelope, turn off and lock out the 3—phase power source at the controller. Be extremely careful to avoid electrical shock. Turning the disconnect or circuit breaker to the OFF position removes power from the output side of the device only. High voltage is always present at the input side whenever the controller is connected to a power source. Before working on the pneumatic system, shut off the system air supply and purge the air lines.

If maintenance must be done when the power is on, make sure the person inside the work envelope has sole control of the robot. The teach pendant must be held by this person. Know the path that can be used to escape from a moving robot. Make sure the escape route is never blocked.

Make sure that such devices do not create pinch points that could trap personnel. Doing so can result in serious personal injury and component destruction. To avoid fires and damage to parts in the controller, never use nonspecified fuses. These measures are outlined below.

Programming Safety Precautions Implement the following programming safety measures to prevent damage to machine tools and other external devices. Implement the following mechanical safety measures to prevent damage to machine tools and other external devices. The following measures are designed to prevent damage to the robot during operation. Visualize the movement the robot will make before you press the jog keys on the teach pendant.

Make sure the work envelope is clean and free of oil, water, or debris. Use circuit breakers to guard against electrical overload. NOTE Any deviation from the methods and safety practices described in this manual must conform to the approved standards of your company. If you have questions, see your supervisor. Maintenance personal also must work inside the paint booth periodically. Whenever personnel are working inside the paint booth, ventilation equipment must be used.

Instruction on the proper use of ventilating equipment usually is provided by the paint shop supervisor. Although paint booth hazards have been minimized, potential dangers still exist. In teach mode, the process technician teaches programs paint paths using the teach pendant.

In automatic mode, the robots will execute the path movements they were taught during teach mode, but generally at production speeds. When process and maintenance personnel run diagnostic routines that require them to remain in the paint booth, they must stay in a designated safe area.

To minimize the risk of injury when working near robots and related equipment, personnel must comply strictly with the procedures in the manuals. This section provides information about the safety features that are included in the paint system and also explains the way the robot interacts with other equipment in the system. Your booth might have other kinds of indicators. Learn what these are. When this switch is held in, power is applied to the robot servo system.

All of the major and minor axes are governed by software limits. Limit switches and hardstops also limit travel by the major axes. For some systems,signals to these switches are bypassed when the switch on the SCC is in teach mode. Severe conditions result in automatic system shutdown. When you work in or near the paint booth, observe the following rules, in addition to all rules for safe operation that apply to all robot systems. This is an optional operator warning. It indicates: D The robot is powered on D The robot is armed servo power on and can move at any time.

Report unsafe conditions to your supervisor. When you perform maintenance on the painter system, observe the following rules, and all other maintenance safety rules that apply to all robot installations. Only qualified, trained service or maintenance personnel should perform repair work on a robot.

Use caution when working with electric tools. All personnel not participating in the maintenance must stay out of the area. This person must understand the robot and associated potential hazards. Excess vibration, unusual sounds, and so forth, can alert you to potential problems. Overexposure could cause drowsiness or skin and eye irritation.

Overexposure could cause drowsiness. The application software runs on the R-J controller and is written to perform a specific task. The controller consists of modular circuit boards and components housed in a cabinet.

The controller is housed in either a B-size or C-size cabinet. The controller consists of modular circuit boards and components housed in a C-size cabinet.

The backplane provides the bus structure for communication between the various printed circuit boards in the controller. A thermostat for sensing the temperature in the controller is mounted on the backplane. Either of these printed circuit boards are interchangeable. Figure 1—8 shows the backplane with the R-H style extended backplane attached.

It contains the CPU and the volatile and non-volatile memory used by the controller. This will supply voltage to the CMOS memory so the stored data is not lost. The main CPU consists of a main motherboard with several daughter modules installed perpendicular to it. The modules are small printed circuit boards with components surface-mounted on both sides.

The modules are installed in sockets, allowing them to be changed quickly and easily. SCC Module controls communication with the operator panel. Optional SCC Module communicates with any optional serial ports. Table 1—1 lists the part numbers for the modules attached on the board. These signals switch the drive transistors on the servo amplifiers on and off applying power to the servo motors. Figure 1—10 shows the axis control board layout. Table 1—2 lists the part numbers for the modules attached on the board.

Axis Control Board Layout Servo control module for axis 9 and 10 Servo control module for axis 7 and 8 Servo control module for axis 5 and 6 Servo control module for axis 3 and 4 Servo control module for axis 1 and 2 Servo interface module for axis 5 and 6 Servo interface module for axis 3 and 4 Servo interface module for axis 9 and 10 Servo interface module for axis 1 and 2 Servo interface module for axis 7 and 8 NOTE Options are shown in phantom print.

Table 1—2. If the board is removed from the controller for longer than 30 minutes, all software in the controller might be lost. Brake power is turned off applying motor brakes during major alarm conditions, or when regulated by the software. There is a second brake circuit that is manually operated by a front panel key switch. This key switch operated circuit provides a method to move the robot manually should servo power fail, or when mastering is required.

Figure 1—12 shows the emergency stop control printed circuit board layout. The servo amplifiers are mounted on the back wall of the controller. The servo amplifier amplifies the drive signal from the axis control printed circuit board and supplies it to the servomotor.

Servo amplifiers are supplied in single, double or triple-axis configurations. If you replace a servo amplifier, make sure that the new unit has the same part number as the old one.

Otherwise, the servo amplifier or servomotor might be damaged or destroyed. See Figure 1—14 for a servo amplifier. The MCC coil voltage is turned off during major fault conditions or when regulated by the software.

When the MCC is turned off, its normally-closed contacts connect the motor power leads together through low-resistance, high-power resistors, stopping the motor immediately. Circuit Breaker The servo amplifier circuitry is protected by a circuit breaker.

The reset lever for the circuit breaker is visible on the front panel of the servo amplifier. Fault Detection Each servo amplifier has fault detection circuits that detect such conditions as excessive motor current and servo amplifier power supply failure. A pair of terminals on the servo amplifier can be connected to a temperature-sensing switch in the multi-tap transformer.

Figure 1—15 shows the mounting locations of the servo amplifiers. Servo Amplifier Configuration Table 1—3 lists the servo amplifiers for the P robot and optional auxiliary devices.. Figure 1—23 shows the mounting locations of the servo amplifiers.

Mounting Locations of Servo Amplifiers for the M 1. Mounting Locations of Servo Amplifiers. Table 1—3. It contains the dynamic braking resistors and regenerative discharge resistors built into the other model servo amplifiers.

At the loss of the VAC from the emergency stop circuit, all of the MCC contactors are turned off, engaging all of the dynamic brakes. The regenerative discharge resistor and its associated thermal switch, for each amplifier, is mounted to the back of the DBR and DCR unit. This unit is connected to axis 1 on the M and axes 1, 3, and 5 on the S The unit consists of low-resistance high-power resistors used to dissipate the counter electromotive force generated by the servo motors when they are shut off.

Thermo overload switches connected to the overheat terminals on the servo amplifiers are also in the discharge unit. Fans in the discharge unit are used to cool the unit. Discharge Unit 1. The multi—tap transformer is located on the floor of the controller on the right side.

The multi-tap transformer is supplied 3—phase AC from the main disconnect or circuit breaker. This supply voltage can be from — volts. To accommodate the various levels of supply, tap selections are provided on the primary side of the transformer. Two series—connected thermostats are mounted on the transformer. They are connected to fault detection circuitry in one servo amplifier.

Figure 1—26 and Figure 1—27 show the transformers, and Table 1—4, Table 1—5, and Table 1—6 lists the information necessary for selecting a proper primary tap. Figure 1—26 shows the transformers, and Table 1—4, and Table 1—5 lists the information necessary for selecting a proper primary tap. Table 1—4. See Figure 1— Outputs can be sink or source outputs.

The base unit has no LEDs, fuses, or electrical connections, except for the module sockets. Positive: 24 V common current sink type ; ON when input is at high level. Table 1—8. Positive: 24 V common current source type ; output is at high level when ON.

Refer to the following manuals for information on these boards. The fused flange disconnect provides overcurrent protection supply through three fuses; one for each leg of the 3—phase supply.

Circuit Breaker The circuit breaker provides overcurrent protection to the controller and the supply. The circuit breaker is available with or without ground fault protection. Refer to Table 1—11 and Table 1—12 for current rating and part numbers. The fused flange disconnect and the circuit breaker also provide a means for shutting off power to the controller and locking the power out.

Turning the disconnect to the OFF position removes power from the output side of the device only. Circuit Breaker 1. It is located on the lower left side of the controller. A80L Figure 1— Pushbuttons and LEDs on the Operator Panel are used to control the robot and to indicate robot status.

Figure 1—34 shows the operator panel on a B-size controller. Figure 1—35 shows the operator panel on a C-size controller. Figure 1—36 shows the operator panel on a C-size controller. Keys on the teach pendant are used to enter data, jog the robot, and to display menus. The pendant has a liquid crystal display 16 lines long by 40 characters wide.

The teach pendant also has an emergency stop button that places the robot into an emergency stop condition. A deadman switch is mounted on the back of the teach pendant. It must be held in while the teach pendant is turned on. If it is released while the teach pendant is turned on, the robot will enter a fault condition similar to emergency stop. WARNING The robot will become fully functional and capable of being started at the operator panel if the teach pendant is turned off and the fence circuit is not installed or closed.

Seven of the keys on the teach pendant provide different functions depending on the software in the controller. Eleven LEDs display status of the system. LEDs are different based on software operating in the controller. When a non—intrinsic safe teach pendant is used, there are eleven LEDs that display status of the system. The teach pendant used with the P robot is an Intrinsically Safe device. It is used to ensure that there not be enough energy to induce a spark within the teach pendant.

Table 1— The controller is sealed to prohibit outside air from entering. Internal controller air is circulated by fans around the inside of the controller and downward through the internal side of the heat exchange unit. Outside air is circulated upward through the external side of the heat exchange unit also by using a fan. This process cools the inside air.

Fans are provided on the printed circuit board racks mounted on the backplane to circulate air over the printed circuit boards. Cooling fins connected to the servo amplifiers are within the heat exchange unit to keep the heat generated by the servo power circuits out of the controller. Figure 1—38 shows the heat exchange system for a B-size controller.

Figure 1—39 shows the heat exchange system for a C-size controller. It has ten photo-isolated relays. Internal circuitry provides 20VDC to the hazardous side terminals which are isolated from the safe side terminals and their voltage of 24VDC. There are ten red LEDs, one for each device used in the field.

There are a pair of terminals, labeled Px and Nx, for each hazardous signal, while the corresponding safe side terminals have Ax, Bx, and Cx. Cx is the 24VDC input, and Ax and Bx are the normally open and normally closed contact outputs respectively.

When voltage is being applied to the field switch device contacts and they are closed, the IBRC LED will be illuminated for that particular contact. Should a jumper be installed across the P and N terminals, the LED for those terminals will be illuminated. It is mounted alongside the IBRC unit. It provides voltage necessary to energize the purge solenoid valve within the robot and opening devices when applicable.

They are used in the purge system similar to the IBRC unit, in that they restrict power that may cause a spark. The solenoid of the purge valve requires 24VDC, and is internally located within the robot cavity.

The internal atmosphere is to be considered hazardous prior to purging, therefore an Intrinsically SafeBarrier device is used to prevent possible sparking. Two of these devices will be used if opening devices are also incorporated with the robot; one for the robot purge solenoid valve, and the other for the opening device purge solenoid. They are similar to a fuse.

If one should be found defective, it must be replaced by a known good Intrinsically Safe Barrier, discarding the defective one. Many models appear physically identical, but have different power ratings. It is a passive device used for interfacing purposes.
