stopping robot

    So I've only been working with robots of any kind for about a year now so still learning tons. My shop mostly deals with Fanuc so I am most familiar with that. However we have a customer that is requesting ABB.

    My question is we are using a light curtain and want it to stop the robot if the operator breaks the curtain. In fanuc we would use DCS and use Safety I/O with SSI 2 for fence and then would be able to start the robot again once the curtain is clear and cycle has been resumed. I do not see anything in safe move that is similar to fence. We are using CIP safety over Ethernet. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Are those safety rated? And I'm assuming those would then be discrete inputs instead of using ethernet correct? I've been digging through the IRC5 compact controller manual and the safemove manual trying to find any of this do you have a link to the pin out?

    Yes and yes. For detailed information about the wiring you have to take a look into the circuit diagram of your controller model. You can download manuals and circuit diagrams from the ABB Library. If I remember correctly, the circuit diagrams are premium content. For this, you just need an account.

    Thanks for the quick responses guys!!!

    I didn't even see the Stop tab when I went into safe i/o configurator and was just looking through the I/O they have listed there. Thanks to both you guys this was a huge help!!!
