1 Safety
1.1.1 Limitation of liability
The integrator of the final application is required to perform an assessment of the
hazards and risks (HRA).
Note
The integrator is responsible for the safety of the final application.
Safe access
The robot system shall be designed to allow safe access to all areas where
intervention is necessary during operation, adjustment, and maintenance.
Where it is necessary to perform tasks within the safeguarded space there shall
be safe and adequate access to the task locations.
Safety zones, which must be crossed before admittance, must be set up in front
of the robot's working space. Light beams or sensitive mats are suitable devices.
Turntables or the like should be used to keep the operator out of the robot's working
space.
A safety fence is recommended to ensure safeguarded space. Sufficient space
must be provided around the manipulator to protect those working with or on it
from hazards such as crushing.
The fence or enclosure must be dimensioned to withstand the force created if the
load being handled by the robot is dropped or released at maximum speed.
Determine the maximum speed from the maximum velocities of the robot axes and
from the position at which the robot is working in the work cell (see the section
Robot motion in the Product specification).
Also consider the maximum possible impact caused by a breaking or malfunctioning
rotating tool or other device fitted to the robot.
Safe handling
Users shall not be exposed to hazards, including slipping, tripping, and falling
hazards.
It must be possible to safely turn off tools, such as milling cutters, etc. Make sure
that guards remain closed until the cutters stop rotating.
It should be possible to release parts by manual operation (valves).
Safe design
Emergency stop buttons must be positioned in easily accessible places so that
the robot can be stopped quickly. If any of the buttons do not stop all the robot
workcell motion, each emergency stop button must be marked, if more than one
is provided, to indicate its designated safety function.
Grippers/end effectors must be designed so that they do not drop work pieces/tools
in the event of a power failure or a disturbance to the controller.
Unauthorized modifications of the originally delivered robot are prohibited. Without
the consent of ABB, it is forbidden to attach additional parts through welding,
riveting, or drilling of new holes into the castings. The strength of the robot could
be affected.

1.1.2 Safety data
About this section
This chapter describes the necessary safety data required by standard EN ISO
13849-1:2015.
Prevailing directives and standards
For the use of industrial robots and how to protect personnel from being injured,
special regulations must be fulfilled as described in the following directives and
standards:
•
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
•
EN ISO 10218-1:2011
•
EN ISO 13849-1:2008 (when explicitly called forth by EN ISO 10218-1:2011
as ISO 13849-1:2006)
•
EN ISO 13849-1:2015
In addition to these standards covering general machinery safety, a number of
more specialized standards referred to as normative, must also be fulfilled. See
EN ISO 10218-1 chapter Normative references.
Performance level and category
EN ISO 13849-1, which is a B-standard, describes the general concept of
performance level (PL) and category. Each machine or machinery is potentially
dangerous and can cause personal injury. Based on severity of injury and probability
of accident, when using the machine, a certain level of safety performance, so
called required performance level (PLr) can be defined, where level a represents
the lowest risk and level e the highest. According to this, the machine must be
equipped with safety related parts, meeting the required performance level, to
reduce the risk to accepted low level. As specified in EN ISO 10218-1, normally
PL d is required for robots, but depending on the applications a higher requirement
could be needed if a risk analysis will result in PL e.
To comply with a certain PLr, in this case d, the safety related parts of the robots
and controllers must be structurally designed according to specific structure
categories and using reliable components.
In EN ISO 13849-1 it is in detail specified what category and components data,
which must be met, to fulfill PL d. These are:
•
Category 3, which is normally fulfilled using double channels
•
MTTFD (Mean Time To dangerous Failure) – high
•
DC (Diagnostic Coverage) – low or medium
•
CCF (Common Cause Failures) – better than 65 scores according to Annex
F
Performance level for ABB IRC5 controller
To verify that robots and controller comply with at least PL d a self assessment
has been carried out and documented in a Technical Report. The essential
conclusions are accounted for below.

1.1.3 Protective stop and emergency stop
Overview
Protective stops and emergency stops are defined by standards IEC 60204-1:2005
and EN ISO 10218-1:2011.
Stops can be in category 0 or category 1.
As defined in IEC 60204, stopping by immediate removal of
power to the machine actuators (i.e. an uncontrolled stop. In
IRC5 this is implemented by removing power immediately in
the drive units.
Stop category 0
As defined in IEC 60204, a controlled stop with power available
to the machine actuators to achieve the stop and then removal
of power when the stop is achieved. In IRC5 this is implemented
by removing power in the drive units after about 1 second using
the servos to stop the machine.
Stop category 1
Inputs to initiate a protective stop or an emergency stop
There are several safety inputs available to initiate a protective stop or an
emergency stop. All these safety inputs are of structure category 3 as described
in EN ISO 13849-1.
These safety inputs will initiate a stop of category 0 or category 1.
Description
Safety inputs to initiate a
stop
The safety input Automatic Stop is only operational in automatic
mode.
Protective stop in automat-
ic mode
The default configuration is stop category 1.
There are two safety inputs to initiate a protective stop in both
automatic and manual mode. It is the safety input General Stop
and the safety input Superior Stop.
Protective stop in automat-
ic and manual mode
The default configuration is stop category 1.
The Emergency Stop is operational in both automatic and
manual mode.
Emergency stop
The default configuration is stop category 0.
To modify the configuration of the stop category, see Technical reference
manual - System parameters.
Protective stop
Protective stops are activated through the dedicated safety inputs Automatic Stop,
General Stop, and Superior Stop, on the controller. For example, the protective
inputs are connected to safety outputs of presence sensing devices. This is to
provide safeguarding.
See Installation and commissioning in the product manual for the robot controller.

1.1.3 Protective stop and emergency stop
The emergency stop function shall not be applied as a substitute for safeguarding
measures and other safety functions but should be designed for use as a
complementary protective measure. (See ISO 13850.)
Note
Emergency stop must not be used for protective stop or program stop as this
causes extra, unnecessary wear on the robot.
For how to perform program stops, see Operating manual - IRC5 with
FlexPendant.
Depending on selected options for the robot, the number of emergency stops can
vary. See documentation for the robot and the complete machine.
Other methods to stop the robot
There are also other methods to stop the robot. See:

1.2.3 Enabling device and hold-to-run functionality
Three-position enabling device
The three-position enabling device is a manually operated, constant pressure
push-button which, when continuously activated in one position only, allows
potentially hazardous functions but does not initiate them. In any other position,
hazardous functions are stopped safely.
The three-position enabling device is of a specific type where you must press the
push-button only half-way to activate it. In the fully in and fully out positions,
operating the robot is impossible.
Note
The three-position enabling device is a push-button located on the teach pendant
which, when pressed halfway in, switches the system to MOTORS ON. When
the enabling device is released or pushed all the way in, the manipulator switches
to the MOTORS OFF state.
To ensure safe use of the teach pendant, the following must be implemented:
•
The enabling device must never be rendered inoperational in any way.
•
During programming and testing, the enabling device must be released as
soon as there is no need for the robot to move.
•
Anyone entering the working space of the robot must always hold the teach
pendant. This is to prevent anyone else from taking control of the robot
without his/her knowledge.
Hold-to-run function
The hold-to-run function allows movement when a button connected to the function
is actuated manually and immediately stops any movement when released. The
hold-to-run function can only be used in manual mode.
How to operate the hold-to-run function for IRC5 is described in Operating
manual - IRC5 with FlexPendant.

1.2.4 Recover from emergency stops
Overview
Recovering from an emergency stop is a simple but important procedure. This
procedure ensures that the robot system is not returned to production while
maintaining a hazardous condition.
Reset the latch of emergency stop buttons
All push-button style emergency stop devices have a latching feature that must
be released in order to remove the emergency stop condition of the device.
In many cases this is done by twisting the push-button as marked, but there are
also devices where you pull the button to release the latch.
Reset automatic emergency stop devices
All automatic emergency stop devices also have some kind of latching feature that
must be released. Consult your plant or cell documentation to see how your robot
system is configured.
Recover from emergency stops
Action
Make sure the hazardous situation that resulted in the emergency stop condition no
longer exists.
1
Locate and reset the device or devices that gave the emergency stop condition.
2
Press the Motors On button to recover from the emergency stop condition.

1.2.4 Recover from emergency stops
1.2.5 Safety during troubleshooting
General
All normal service work; installation, maintenance and repair work, is usually
performed with all electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic power switched off. All
manipulator movements are usually prevented by mechanical stops etc.
Troubleshooting work differs from this. While troubleshooting, all or any power
may be switched on, the manipulator movement may be controlled manually from
the FlexPendant, by a locally running robot program or by a PLC to which the
system may be connected.
Dangers during troubleshooting
This implies that special considerations unconditionally must be taken when
troubleshooting:
•
All electrical parts must be considered as live.
•
The manipulator must at all times be expected to perform any movement.
•
Since safety circuits may be disconnected or strapped to enable normally
prohibited functions, the system must be expected to perform accordingly.

1.3.1 Safety risks during installation and service work on robots
Requirements on personnel
Only persons who know the robot and are trained in the operation and handling
of the robot are allowed to maintain the robot. Persons who are under the influence
of alcohol, drugs or any other intoxicating substances are not allowed to install,
maintain, repair, or use the robot.
•
Those in charge of operations must make sure that safety instructions are
available for the installation in question.
•
Those who install or service/maintain the robot must have the appropriate
training for the equipment in question and in any safety matters associated
with it.
•
Personnel should be trained on responding to emergency or abnormal
situations.
General risks during installation and service
The instructions in the product manual must always be followed.
Never turn the power on to the robot before it is properly fixed and bolted to its
foundation/support.
Make sure that no one else can turn on the power to the controller and robot while
you are working with the system. A good method is to always lock the main switch
on the controller cabinet with a safety lock.
Make sure that no one else can turn on the power to the controller and robot while
you are working with the system. A good method is to remove the power cable to
the controller.
If the robot is installed at a height, hanging, or other than standing directly on the
floor, there may be additional risks than those for a robot standing directly on the
floor.
Energy stored in the robot for the purpose of counterbalancing certain axes may
be released if the robot, or parts thereof, are dismantled.
Never use the robot as a ladder, which means, do not climb on the controller,
motors, or other parts during service work. There is a risk of slipping because of
the high temperature of the motors and oil spills that can occur on the robot. There
is also a risk of the robot being damaged.
To avoid damaging the product, make sure that there are no loose screws, turnings,
or other parts inside the product after work has been performed.
Safety risks during operational disturbances
Corrective maintenance must only be carried out by qualified personnel who are
familiar with the entire installation as well as the special risks associated with its
different parts.

1.3.1 Safety risks during installation and service work on robots
If the working process is interrupted, extra care must be taken due to risks other
than those associated with regular operation. Such an interruption may have to be
rectified manually.
Spare parts and special equipment
ABB does not supply spare parts and special equipment which have not been
tested and approved by ABB. The installation and/or use of such products could
negatively affect the structural properties of the robot and as a result of that affect
the active or passive safety operation. ABB is not liable for damages caused by
the use of non-original spare parts and special equipment. ABB is not liable for
damages or injuries caused by unauthorized modifications to the robot.
Connection of external safety devices
Apart from the built-in safety functions, the robot is also supplied with an interface
for the connection of external safety devices. An external safety function can
interact with other machines and peripheral equipment via this interface. This
means that control signals can act on safety signals received from the peripheral
equipment as well as from the robot.
Personal protective equipment
Always use suitable personal protective equipment, based on the risk assessment
for the installation.

2.5.2 Connecting cables to the controller
General
A good and proper electrical installation of the robot system is necessary to ensure
the best performance and prolong the lifetime of the whole robot system.
This section includes important information on how to connect cables and signals
to the controller.
Signal classes
Different rules apply to the different classes when selecting and laying cables.
Signals from different classes must not be mixed.
Description
Signal class
Supplies external motors and brakes.
Power signals
Applies to the cables associated with the power inputs and outputs
of variable speed drives. Cables carrying strongly interfering signals
such as motor cables, DC-link load sharing, unsuppressed inductive
loads, DC motors, welding equipment, etc.
Class 4 (noisy)
Digital operating and data signals (digital I/O, protective stop, etc.).
Control signals
Applies to cables carrying slightly interfering signals: AC power
supply (<1 kV), DC power (24 V), power to equipment with RFI/EMI
filters, control circuits with resistive or suppressed inductive loads
(such as contactors and solenoids), direct-on-line induction motors,
etc.
Class 3 (slightly
noisy)
Analog measuring and control signals (resolver and analog I/O).
Measuring signals
This class covers ordinary analogue signals such as analogue sig-
nals (4-20 mA, 0-10V, or signals below 1 MHz), low-speed digital
signals (RS232, RS485), digital (on/off) signals, limit switches, en-
coders, etc.
Class 2 (slightly sens-
itive)
Gateway (fieldbus) connection, computer link.
Data communication
signals
Applies to cables carrying very sensitive signals. Signals with a full-
scale range less than 1 V or 1 mA, and/or a source impedance >1
kOhm, and/or a signal frequency >1 Mhz. For example high-speed
digital communication (Ethernet), thermocouples, thermistors, strain
gauges and flowmeters.
Class 1 (sensitive)
Selecting cables
All cables laid in the control cabinet must be capable of withstanding 70°C. In
addition, the following rules apply to the cables of certain signal classes:
Cable type
Signal class
Shielded cable with an area of at least 0.75 mm² or AWG 18.
Power signals
Shielded cable.
Control signals
Shielded cable with twisted pair conductors.
Measuring signals
Shielded cable with twisted pair conductors. A specific cable
should be used for field bus connections and Ethernet, according
to the standard specification of the respective bus.

2 Installation and commissioning
2.5.2 Connecting cables to the controller
Any local standards and regulations concerning insulation and area must always
be complied with.
Route the cables
Routing of cables shall be done in a professional way.
•
Cables of different classes, such as signal cables and power cables, must
not be routed together as the power cables may introduce noise in the signal
cables. The greater the separation distance, the lesser the risk for interference
between the cables.
•
Robot controller mains supply input cable and robot power cable should be
separated even though they belong to the same class.
•
If crossing cables from different classes, cables should cross at an angle
close to 90 degrees.
•
All external cables that are to be connected inside the controller must be
shielded in the chassis before entering the cabinet.
Separation distances can be reduced if e.g. dividers are used between cables
classes. Manufacturers of cable duct systems can provide information on how
reduced separation distances can be achieved using their specific products.
All signals that are sensitive to interference should be routed and strapped along
the right side of the controller cabinet according to the image.

2 Installation and commissioning
2.5.2 Connecting cables to the controller
Continued
These signals generate a lot of interference and must be
laid separate from control, measuring, and communication
signals.
•
The shielding must be connected to a paint-free part of the
panel chassis of the cabinet at both ends of the cable. Any
unshielded cable must be as short as possible.
•
The manipulator power cables are routed on the floor and
along the left side of the controller cabinet.
•
Cables should not be wound up like coils. This could cause
an magnetic field disturbing the signals. There would also
be a risk of overheating depending on the load.
Power signals
•
These signals are very sensitive to interference. To protect
these signals they should not be laid along with the power
signals.
•
In the cable, each signal must be twisted with a neutral wire.
•
The shielding must be connected directly to the chassis at
both ends of the cable.
Control signals
Measuring signals
Data communication
signals
Shielding cables
When peripheral devices are connected to the robot system, a shielded cable is
necessary to reduce coupling of the inner cable conductors to the environment
they pass through.
Shielding cable requirements
•
The best method for shielding is to ground the shield at both ends of the
cable, provided the ends grounding are at the same potential.
•
The optimum shielding is a combination of foil and braid screens.
•
The best connection is one in which the shielding is extended up to and
makes a solid 360° connection (shown below) with the ground plane or
chassis.
Shielding example
The below example shows the shielding of a d-type connector:
xx1700001320
A A dimpled connector body makes multiple bonds to the mating connector
body all around its periphery, 360° bonding.
B Metal, or metallized, back shell makes 360° bond to the connector body.
C The cable shield is exposed and 360° clamped to the back shell. A tight fit
is a must.

2.5.2 Connecting cables to the controller
Continued
Many other 360° bonding methods and types of 360° shielded connectors are also
acceptable.
Shield pigtail termination
Shield pigtail termination, as shown below, shall be avoided. If a pigtail connection
cannot be avoided, make it as short as possible.
xx1700001321
Ground and screen connections
The task of the grounding system is twofold - protective and functional. The primary
task is to serve as protective earth (PE) for personal and equipment safety. The
secondary task is to serve as a return path for common mode current.
For further information refer to EN 60204-1 and UL 1740.
Grounding requirements
The controller cabinet ground must come from the mains power supply PE.
•
The cross-sectional area of each grounding (PE) conductor must be not less
than 10 mm2 copper (AWG7) in the IRC5 controller and in the manipulator.
•
The grounding cable color shall be green-yellow.
•
The ground for the controller cabinet, robot manipulator and peripheral
devices must be the same, preferably an equipotential ground grid (mesh).
•
Ground connection points must have stable inter-metallic bonding, like screw
fixation. Paint, dirt, rust, and other insulating material must be removed from
the contacting surfaces.
For requirements on the marking of the supply ground connection inside the control
cabinet refer to UL 508C. For further details on how grounding systems should be
designed refer to IEC 61000-5-2. For details of cross-sectional area of PE refer to
IEC 60204-1.
Grounding installation
For information on how to install the ground for the IRC5 controller cabinet, see
Connecting power supply to the controller on page 68.

Internal relay coils and other units that can generate interference inside the control
cabinet are neutralized. External relay coils, solenoids and other units must be
clamped in a similar way. The illustration below shows how this can be done.
Note that the turn-off time for DC relays increases after neutralization, especially
if a diode is connected across the coil. Varistors give shorter turn-off times.
Neutralizing the coils lengthens the life of the switches that control them.

ent phase imbalances with respect to ground
would put the drive system and mains line
filter (if installed) under unacceptable stress.

If the hot plug button is released while neither the jumper plug, nor the
FlexPendant is connected, the robot movements will be stopped since the
emergency stop chains are opened.
Limitations for messages on the FlexPendant
When using the hot plug option, the following limitations apply to messages on
the FlexPendant:
Operator messages
Some applications may require input from the operator by using the FlexPendant
(e.g. applications using RAPID instructions TPReadNum, UIMsgBox, etc.). If the
application encounters such an operator message, program execution will wait.
After connecting the FlexPendant you must then stop and start the program
execution to be able to see and respond to these messages. They are not displayed
automatically by just connecting the FlexPendant.
If possible, avoid using these types of instructions when programming systems
that are using the hot plug button option.

The service port is configured with a fixed IP-address, which is the same for all
controllers and cannot be changed, and has a DHCP server that automatically
assigns an IP-address to the connected PC.
Note
For more information about connecting a PC to the service port, see section
Working online in Operating manual - RobotStudio.
WAN port
The WAN port is a public network interface to the controller, typically connected
to the factory network with a public IP address provided by the network
administrator.
The WAN port can be configured with fixed IP-address, or DCHP, from the Boot
application on the FlexPendant. By default the IP-address is blank.
Some network services, like FTP and RobotStudio, are enabled by default. Other
services are enabled by the respective RobotWare application.
Note
The WAN port cannot use any of the following IP-addresses which are allocated
for other functions on the IRC5 controller:
•
192.168.125.0 - 255
•
192.168.126.0 - 255
•
192.168.127.0 - 255

•
192.168.129.0 - 255
•
192.168.130.0 - 255
The WAN port cannot be on a subnet which overlaps with any of the above
reserved IP-addresses. If a subnet mask in the class B range has to be used,
then a private address of class B must be used to avoid any overlapping. Please
contact your local network administrator regarding network overlapping.
See the section about topic Communication in Technical reference
manual - System parameters.
Note
For more information about connecting a PC to the WAN port, see section Working
online in Operating manual - RobotStudio.

Stop with system input signals
In the control system, it is possible to define system input signals to be set/reset
through different interactions, for example, through networks, I/O blocks, RobAPI,
etc. See Application manual - Controller software IRC5.
Description
Pre-defined system input
The RAPID program execution is stopped, and the manipulator
is stopped on path with no deviation. The RAPID program
cannot be started when this system input signal is high. This
stop is similar to a normal program stop using stop button on
the FlexPendant.
Stop
This is a faster stop of the manipulator than Stop. This stop is
more stressing for the mechanics than normal stop, therefore
there might be a minor deviation on path.

Pre-defined system input
This is a faster stop of the manipulator than Stop and SoftStop.
This stop is more stressing for the mechanics than normal stop
or SoftStop, therefore there might be a deviation on path.
QuickStop
Stops the RAPID program when the complete program is ex-
ecuted, that means when the last instruction in the main routine
has been completed.
Stop at End of Cycle
Stops program execution after the current instruction is com-
pleted.
Stop at End of Instruction
All of these stops are performed without using the brakes, and the power is never
disconnected. The program execution can be continued directly, for example by
activating a start signal.
Note
Only safety rated input signals are allowed to be used for safety.
Stop with RAPID instructions
There are several RAPID instructions available that stops the robot.
Arguments
Description
Instruction
\Stop: similar to a normal pro-
gram stop with stop button.
Stops all robots in all tasks imme-
diately.
SystemStopAction
\StopBlock: as above, but to re-
start the PP has to be moved.
\Halt: this is like a category 0
stop, i.e. it will result in motors off
state, stop of program execution
and robot movements in all motion
tasks. The Motors on button must
be pressed before the program
execution can be restarted.
\NoRegain: the robot will not re-
turn to the stop point when restar-
ted, e.g. after having been jogged
away.
The current move instruction will
be finished before the robot stops.
A restart will continue the program
execution.
Stop
\AllMoveTasks: all robots will be
stopped.
\Quick: the stop will be a soft
stop on path, as described for
system input SoftStop, otherwise
similar to a normal program stop.
The current move instruction will
be stopped immediately as a nor-
mal program stop but the program
execution will continue with the
next instruction. This is often used
in for example trap routines.
StopMove
\AllMotionTasks: all robots will
be stopped.
The current move instruction and
the program execution will be
stopped immediately as a normal
program stop. A restart will contin-
ue the program execution.

Continued
The current move instruction and
the program execution will be
stopped immediately as a normal
program stop. After stop the Pro-
gram Pointer has to be reset to
Main.
EXIT
The current move instruction and
program execution will be stopped
immediately. The Program Pointer
will be reset to Main and if running
mode is continuous, the program
will be restarted.
EXITCYCLE
\Stop: the robot will stop as fast
as possible. This stop is per-
formed by ramping down motion
in each motor separate from each
other, and as fast as possible.
Since it will be without any coordin-
ation, the robot may slide off path
fairly much.
Search instructions can be pro-
grammed with arguments to stop
the robot movement close to the
point where a search hit was no-
ticed. The program execution will
continue with the next instruction.
SearchX
\PStop: the robot will stop like
after a normal program stop.
\SStop: the robot will stop on path
but quicker than a normal program
stop. This is similar to a system
input SoftStop.
\Sup: the robot will continue to the
ToPoint. If more than one search
hit is found, an error will be repor-
ted.
RAPID instructions valid for IRC5 are described in Technical reference
manual - RAPID Instructions, Functions and Data types.
Other unexpected stops
Description
Type of stop
In the control system there is a surveillance and monitoring
function that can detect abnormal situations. In such cases a
stop will be initiated. The robot controller must be restarted.
SysFail
In the control system there is a monitoring function that can
detect power failure. In such cases a stop will be initiated.
Power fail
In the control system there is a monitoring function that can
detect collisions. In such cases a stop will be initiated.
WARNING
Special care must be taken when restarting a machine that is
stopped due to a collision. The robot might make a limited
movement when restarted.
Stop at collision
WARNING
The revolution counters might need to be updated after a colli-
sion to ensure path accuracy.
