Definitions:
Input danger zone:

0: robot is in danger zone

1: robot is not in danger zone

Input status of groups: 0: output inactive

1: output active

Muting lamp:

0: lamp off

1: lamp on


Implementation of an MSR300 System for robot safety control is subject to the following
system configuration rules:

• One MSR300 System cannot have more than one Robot Module (Input Module set

up for robot function).

• The MSR310 Input Module configured for robot safety control must have a Group

1 or Group 2 Output assigned to it. (Note: Output Module Group 1 and 2 not
physically necessary )

• An MSR300 System cannot have a Robot Module (Input Module set up for robot

function) and a Logic Module (Input Module set up for logic function): i.e., the
system can have either one or the other type of module, not both.



5.1.3 Robot Safety Control With Additional Safe Area

A robot cell can be safety-
controlled for an additional safe
area by a combination of two
Input Modules in an MSR300
System. One Input Module is
set up for robot safety
control (function switch
setting: 8), and a second one
is set up for the additional
safe area function (function
switch setting: 9).

One MSR300 System cannot have more than one Additional Safe Area Module: i.e., an
MSR300 System can be configured for robot safety control with not more than one
additional safe area.

The functional logic for additional safe area control is as follows:

• The robot is controlled by the output/s of Group 3.

• Inputs assigned to Group 1 monitor dangerous zone 1 (270°)(e.g. light curtains).

• Inputs assigned to Group 2 monitor dangerous zone 2 (90°) (e.g. light curtains).

• One input module is set up for monitoring the safe positioning of the robot arm.

(Input 1: Danger Zone 1. Input 2: Danger Zone 2).

• The other input module is set up for monitoring additional safe area of the robot

cell.
