ABB DSQC647 3HAC026272-001 SafeMove Unit
Description:
DSQC647 is part of ABB safety controller. SafeMove is a safety controller in the robot system. The purpose of the safety controller is to ensure a high safety level in the robot system using supervision functions that can stop the robot and monitoring functions that can set safe digital output signals.
The supervision functions can be activated by safe digital input signals. Both input and output signals can be connected to, for instance, a safety PLC that can control which behavior is allowed for the robot at different times. The safety controller also sends status signals to the main computer, that is the standard IRC5 robot controller.
Note that SafeMove is one component in a cell safety system, normally complemented by other equipment, e.g. light arriers, for detecting the whereabouts of the operator.
Some examples of applications:
• Manual loading of gripper
• Manual inspection in robot cell during operation
• Optimization of cell size
• Protection of sensitive equipment
• Ensuring safe orientation of emitting processes
