6.1.1.4 Wiring examples for safe inputs and outputs

Planning
Safe input

The switch-off capability of the inputs is monitored cyclically.


The inputs of the SIB are of dual-channel design with external testing.
The dual-channel operation of the inputs is monitored cyclically.
The following diagram illustrates the connection of a safe input to a float-
ing contact provided by the customer.

Test outputs A and B are fed with the supply voltage of the SIB. Test out-
puts A and B are sustained short-circuit proof. The test outputs must only
be used to supply the SIB inputs, and for no other purpose.
The wiring example described can be used to achieve compliance with
Category 3 and Performance Level (PL) d according to EN ISO 13849-1.

Dynamic testing

• The switch-off capability of the inputs is tested cyclically. For this, the
test outputs TA_A and TA_B are switched off alternately.
• The switch-off pulse length is defined for the SIBs as t1 = 625 μs (125
μs – 2.375 ms).
• The duration t2 between two switch-off pulses on one channel is
106 ms.
• The input channel SIN_x_A must be supplied by the test signal TA_A.
The input channel SIN_x_B must be supplied by the test signal TA_B.
No other power supply is permissible.
• It is only permitted to connect sensors which allow the connection of
test signals and which provide floating contacts.
• The signals TA_A and TA_B must not be significantly delayed by the
switching element.

6.4 Load voltages

6.4.1 X11 load voltage US1/US2

Description

In the case of interfaces with load voltage US1/US2, load voltage US1 is
not switched and US2 is implemented as switchable using safe technology
so that actuators, for example, are switched off when the drives are deac-
tivated.
This function exists in the following three variants and is set in the safety
configuration:
• Switched by an external PLC:
The contactor is switched directly by an external input (US2 signal in
the PROFIsafe/CIP Safety/FSoE telegram). This variant is available
only if PROFIsafe/CIP Safety/FSoE is in use.
• Switched by the KRC:
The contactor is switched if the “FF signal” and the non-safe
“US2_CONTACTOR_ON” signal from the robot controller are set. In
this way, the non-safe part of the robot controller can also switch the
contactor.
• Deactivated:
The contactor is always off.
If, due to a fault in the system cabling, there is a cross connection be-
tween US1 and US2, this will not be noticed during normal operation. The
result is that load voltage US2 is no longer switched off which can lead to
a dangerous state in the system.
In the cabling for the two voltages US1 and US2 in the system, suitable
measures must be taken to prevent a cross-connection between the vol-
tages (e.g. separate cabling of US1 and US2 or a cable with reinforced
insulation between the two voltages).

The function of the load voltage contactors must be checked in accord-


ance with (>>> 6.4.4 "Checking the US2 function, load voltage contac-
tor" Page 49).

If the US2 option is used, the signaling of the US2 states must be
checked (at US2) before the process periphery is started up.

Operator safety acknowledgement

The SIB input signal “Operator safety acknowledgement” (from the IMM) is
switched via E67 and also via interface X27. The E67 standard does not
include an additional acknowledging signal for the operator safety ac-
knowledgement input signal. The following configuration of interface X27
is therefore required:
• The following configurations of interface X27 with a safety gate switch
are possible:
‒ QBS signal is not switched
‒ Gate switch with integrated acknowledge button for providing a
qualified operator safety signal
‒ Configuration of the operator safety acknowledgement as “external
module” in the safety configuration
• The following configurations of interface X27 with a safety PLC are
possible:
‒ Switching of the QBS signal by the PLC
‒ Switching of the operator safety signal by the PLC
‒ Configuration of QBS as “by acknowledgement button” in the safe-
ty configuration

Signal “Peri enabled” (PE)

The signal “Peri enabled” is set to 1 (active) if the following conditions are
met:
• Drives are switched on.
• Safety controller motion enable signal present.
• The message “Operator safety open” must not be active.
This message is not active in the modes T1 and T2.
“Peri enabled” in conjunction with the signal “Safe operational stop”
• In the case of activation of the signal “Safe operational stop” during
the motion:
‒ Error -> braking with Stop 0. “Peri enabled” eliminated.
• Activation of the signal “Safe operational stop” with the manipulator
stationary:
Release the brakes, switch drives to servo-control and monitor for re-
start. “Peri enabled” remains active.

6.18.4 X62 Profibus and load voltage US1/US2 interface

Description

The load voltages are not switched, so that the valve terminal on the arm
of the manipulator is always energized.
If, due to a fault in the system cabling, there is a cross connection be-
tween US1 and US2, this will not be noticed during normal operation. The
result is that load voltage US2 is no longer switched off which can lead to
a dangerous state in the system.
In the cabling for the two voltages US1 and US2 in the system, suitable
measures must be taken to prevent a cross-connection between the vol-
tages (e.g. separate cabling of US1 and US2 or a cable with reinforced
insulation between the two voltages).

Necessary equipment

• Female connector M23: Bus connector, 17-pole, E-part

Fig. 6-61: Contact diagram, view from contact side

• Cable clamping range: Ø9 ... Ø14.7 mm


• Recommended connecting cable: Multibus cable

6.19 Performance level

The safety functions of the robot controller conform to Category 3 and


Performance Level d according to EN ISO 13849-1.

6.19.1 PFH values of the safety functions

The safety values are based on a service life of 20 years.


The PFH value classification of the controller is only valid if the EMER-
GENCY STOP device and the enabling switches on the smartPAD are
tested at least once every 12 months.
When evaluating system safety functions, it must be remembered that the
PFH values for a combination of multiple controllers may have to be taken
into consideration more than once. This is the case for RoboTeam sys-
tems or higher-level hazard areas. The PFH value determined for the
safety function at system level must not exceed the limit for PL d.
The PFH values relate to the specific safety functions of the different con-
troller variants.
Safety function groups:

• Standard safety functions


‒ Operating mode selection
‒ Operator safety
‒ EMERGENCY STOP device
‒ Enabling device
‒ External safe operational stop
‒ External safety stop 1
‒ External safety stop 2
‒ Velocity monitoring in T1
‒ Control of the peripheral contactor
• Safety functions of KUKA Safe Operation Technology (optional)
‒ Monitoring of axis spaces
