Safety Software????

    Good morning all!!! Fanuc has DCS and ABB has Safe Move or EPS. Does Kawasaki have an equivalent? If so, what is it called? For those of you not familiar with Fanuc or ABB it's basically safety software that monitors the robot position and if it goes out of the it estops.

    Use WORKSPACE that will set a output signal. Config it via the Pendant


    Workspace is of little help without Cubic-S. Besides, you can only (as far as I can tell) use only one definition, i.e. you cannot limit the entire theoretical workspace with more than one X,Y,Z construct.

    Controller Workspaces are not safety zones
    - Workspaces DO NOT prevent/prohibit/restrict robot motion unless specifically programmed in.
    - Workspace(s) outputs are triggered purely on TCP location in reference to the workspace(s) cube configuration - If your TCP values are incorrectly set, then workspace outputs will be triggered incorrectly.
    - Workspaces are relative to the current BASE Co-ordinate, if you adjust the BASE, the workspace(s) values will not change, but as it is relative to the BASE, the workspace(s) will move also.


    Cubic-S Zones
    - These are monitored areas.
    - They can be configured for constant prohibited, or selectively allowed/prohibited.
    - You can use dedicated dual channel inputs/outputs to activate allowed/prohibited functions and can directly control safety devices (light curtains etc).
    - The Flange centre (is always monitored) enter/exit these areas without permission or the areas are constantly monitored/prohibited, then the robot WILL immediately stop based on the selected Stop Category.
    - TCP/Tool shape points can be optionally setup in addition to the flange centre.......These have to be configured if you require to the monitor them.
    - Arm Lines/Segment points can either be enabled/disabled to be monitored also.
