ABB IRC5 Zone Handling

    • New

    Hello !

    I am faily new to fanuc but quite fimilar with other robots. In fanuc I was able to make zones that turn a DO on anytime the robot enters. I could then use this zone in my PLC to prevent motions that could cause crash conditions. How is this handled in ABB? Does anyone have some video examples?


    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Are you talking about interference zones such that two or more robots don't try to occupy the same space at the same time?

    It is best practice to turn OFF Do's for clear of zone, not on. This is in case of an IO or power failure. This is fail-to-safe ideology.

    See here for an example:
