2. Product description Electronic Safety Circuit (ESC) safety logic The ESC (Electronic Safety Circuit) safety logic is a dual-channel computer- Overview aided safety system. It permanently monitors all connected safety-relevant components. In the event of a fault or interruption in the safety circuit, the pow- er supply to the drives is shut off, thus bringing the robot system to a standstill.
KR C2 edition05 Enabling switches The node receives single-channel signals from: Drives ON AUTO mode, TEST mode If no KCP coupler is used, the ESC circuit will only function with the KCP con- nected. If the KCP is unplugged during operation without a KCP coupler, the drives are immediately switched off.

4. Safety Safety System planning 4.1.1 EC declaration of conformity and declaration of incorporation The system integrator must issue a declaration of conformity for the overall EC declaration of system in accordance with Directive 98/37/EC (Machinery Directive). The dec- conformity laration of conformity forms the basis for the CE mark for the system.
KR C2 edition05 Further information is contained in the corresponding standards and regula- tions. Requirements on safety gates are: Safety gates The number of safety gates in the fencing must be kept to a minimum. All safety gates must be safeguarded by means of an operator safety sys- tem (interface X11).
4. Safety Robot Braking distance Braking distance Description 4.2.1 Category of the safety-oriented circuits The following circuits correspond to Category 3 in accordance with EN 954-1: EMERGENCY STOP systems Enabling switches Operator safety Operating modes Qualifying inputs 4.2.2 Stop reactions Stop reactions of the robot system are triggered in response to operator ac- tions or as a reaction to monitoring functions and error messages.
Identification plates 4.2.4 Safety information Safety information cannot be held against the KUKA Robot Group. Even if all safety instructions are followed, this is not a guarantee that the robot system will not cause personal injuries or material damage. No modifications may be carried out to the robot system without the authori- zation of the KUKA Robot Group.
4. Safety Safety features 4.3.1 Overview of the safety features The following table indicates the operating modes in which the safety features are active. Safety features AUT EXT active active Operator safety active active Emergency Stop button (STOP 0) active active Emergency Stop button (STOP 1)
KR C2 edition05 In the event of a loss of signal during Automatic operation (e.g. safety gate is opened), the drives are deactivated after 1 s and the robot stops with a STOP 1. Once the signal is active at the input again (e.g. safety gate closed and sig- nal acknowledged), Automatic operation can be resumed.
If the robot hits an obstruction or a buffer on the mechanical end stop or axis range limitation, this can result in material damage to the robot. The KUKA Robot Group must be consulted before the robot is put back into operation (>>>...
