CAUTION!
Danger of injury and material damage in case of non-compliance with protective
measures
For safe operations, the following points must be observed.
 The equipment may be operated only by persons with sufficient training.
 Install the controller only in a safe location from which the robot is visible at any time.
 Fasten the robot with the specified bolts (listed in the operating and maintenance
manual for each robot model).
 Pay attention to the size and type of bolts (specified in the operation and maintenance
manual for each robot model).
 Install the robot controller outside the safeguarding of the manipulator’s safety

WARNING!
Risk of injury from movements of the robot

2 - 21
Safety

• When the power supplies of the robot and the YRC1000micro are turned ON at start-
up, be sure to confirm the following:
– Safety protection devices such as the emergency stop circuit, the safety plug, etc.
operate normally.
– Each axis operates normally in the TEACH mode.
– The robot operates normally at the speed limit or less in the TEACH mode (Speed
limit: 250 mm/s at the TCP or the flange).
– The teaching function and the playback function operate normally.
• The robot may stop its movement while waiting for a condition to be satisfied during
operation. In this case, the robot starts its movement again immediately after the
condition is satisfied. Thus it is dangerous to come close to the robot even if it is not
moving. Make sure to clearly indicate that the robot is in operation by using a pilot lamp
and/or an audible alert so that the operator does not come close to the robot. Or make
sure that the robot stops its operation if the operator comes close to it.
• Install safety fences around the robot to prevent any accidental contact with the robot
while the power is ON. Display a warning sign stating “Off-Limits During Operation” at
the entrance of the safety fence.
The gate of the safety fence must be equipped with a safety interlock (safety plug) to
turn the SERVO power OFF when the gate opens. Make sure that the interlock
operates properly before use.
For details of installation, refer to chapter 2 "Safety".
• For areas not enclosed by safety fences, use a photoelectric sensor, a safety light
curtain, etc. to make sure that the robot stops its operation if the operator enters its
operating range.

CAUTION!
Risk of injury from collisions of objects or equipment
Do not store items and equipment near the robot and robot control.
 Keep the tools at appropriate locations outside the barrier.
 Keep the equipment at appropriate locations outside the barrier.
 Tools and loose equipment must not be deposited on the floor around the robot, robot
controller and other components.

2.3.4 Operating safety

DANGER!
Death and fire caused by short circuiting
Switching on the power supply during tool installation may result in electric shock.
 Before fixing a tool (e.g. welding torch), make sure the power supply to the robot
controller is turned off.
 Lock the switch, and display a warning sign (refer to EN 60204-1).
 Never exceed the rated capacity of the robot (the robot capacity can be found in the
"Technical Data" section of this manual).

2 - 22
Safety

WARNING!
Danger of injury and material damage caused by unforeseen movements of the robot
If possible, teach jobs from outside the robot’s maximum work area.
Observe the following precautions when performing teaching operations within the
manipulator’s operating range:
 Always view the robot from the front.
 Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.
 Always have an escape plan in mind in case the robot comes toward you unexpectedly.
 Ensure that you have a place to retreat to in case of emergency.

2.3.4.1 External safety


The robot and its auxiliary equipment must be surronded by a safetyguard. Entrances
(doors, gates, etc.) must be protected by interlockings, electro-sensitive devices or similar.
Opening of the gates or entrance to the robot working area must stop all motions inside the
cell. Before taking the robot into operation, the complete machine must fulfill the “Essential
health and safety requirements relating to the design and construction of machinery”
according to the EU Machinery Directive.

2.3.4.2 Emergency stop function


The emergency stop circuits are designed according to category 1 (EN 418 item 4.1.5)
Using power to the servo motor to achieve the stop and then removal of power when stop
is achieved. If stop is not achieved after 0.8 seconds, mechanical brakes are engaged
automatically to support stopping.

Maintenance and inspection

7.3 Cooling fan inspections

NOTICE
Inspect the cooling fans as required. A defective fan can cause the YRC1000micro to
malfunction because of excessive high temperatures inside if the cooling fans and the heat
exchanger do not operate efficiently.
The heat exchanger normally operates while the power is tuned ON, and the backside duct
fan normally operates while the servo power is turned ON. Check if the fans are operating
correctly by visual inspection and by feeling air moving into the air intake and from the
outlet.
Clean the air outlet and air intake of plastic panel on the front door of YRC1000micro as
required.
Use a diluted neutral detergent to prevent damaging the plastic panel when cleaning.

The cooling fan located at the backside prevents the rise of temperature inside the
YRC1000micro since high temperature may affect the internal devices.
Thus, the cooling fan must be inspected once in a month to keep its normal performance.

For the unused robot specific input signal, connect a jumper cable as when the
YRC1000micro is shipped.
• Installation of safety plug
The robot must be surrounded by a safeguarding and a door protected by an interlock
function. The door must be opened by the technician to enter and the interlock function
stops the robot operation when the door is open. The safety plug input signal is connected
to the interlock signal from the gate.

9.4 Connection of external emergency stop signal


This signal is used to connect the emergency stop switch for the external devices, etc.
When the contact is OPEN, the SERVO power is turned OFF and execution of the JOB is
stopped.
While the signal is being input, the SERVO power cannot be turned ON
Upon shipment of the YRC1000micro, this signal is connected by a jumper cable in the
dummy connector.
When operating the robot, prepare a new connector and wire the safety fence signal.
For unused robot specific input signals, connect a jumper cable as when the
YRC1000micro is shipped

9.5 Connection for SERVO-ON enable input


When dividing a robot system into multiple SERVO systems, it is connected when using a
function which can turn ON/OFF the SERVO power for each system.
When the contact is OPEN, the SERVO power for the target system is turned OFF.
Upon shipment of the YRC1000micro, this signal is connected by a jumper cable in the
dummy connector.
As this signal is not used as standard specifications, connect a jumper cable to a robot
specific input signal, as when the YRC1000micro is shipped. To use the signal, make sure
to replace the jumper cable by a connector. If the signal is input with the jumper cable
connected, it will not function, which may cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Since the input of SERVO-ON Enable is dualized for safety purposes, connect the SERVO-
ON Enable signal to a signal that turns the dual signals ON and OFF simultaneously.

9.6 External axes overrun

WARNING!
Danger of injury and damage to property if the signal is not working
The settings must be performed to activate the external axis overrun. If not, this function will
not be activated even if the signal is input, thus personal injury and/or equipment damage
may result.
 Before use, make sure to perform the settings of the external axis overrun. After that,
confirm that the overrun alarm occurs by turning OFF the external axis overrun signal.

In units with standard specifications without an external axis, the input signal for
overrunning of an external axis is not used. In this case, a jumper cable is installed (refer to
the following figure).
If an input signal overspeed is necessary for an external axis, connect the signal input
circuits as described below.
For safety reasons, redundant = two-channel switches have to be used for the overrun
signal input for external axes. Connect the signal input of the external axis this way that both
input signals are turned ON or OFF at the same time.
If only one signal is turned ON, the machine safety signal error occurs. For the setting of
the external axis overrun, refer to chapter "Addition of base and Station axes" to the manual
Instructions with the document-no.: E1102000214XX01* and higher.
The figure below shows the factory standard wiring, where all external axes are connected
to the YRC1000micro.
Please refer to the following figure to connect the external axes overrun signal to wire in the
another route. On that occasion, confirm the external axes overrun setting to connect (Refer
to chapter "Addition of base and Station axes" to the manual Instructions with the
document-no.: E1102000214XX01* and higher).

9.9 Assignment of universal I/O signals

Logical Input name/Function


number
20010 EXTERNAL START
Functions the same as the [START] button in the programming pendant.
Only the rising edge of the signal is valid. It starts robot operation (play-
back). This signal is invalid if external start is prohibited from the playback
condition display.
20011 EXTERNAL HOLD
The hold lamp turns on and the signal “HOLDING (50071)” turns ON while
this signal is ON. Depending on the setting, the status of robot can be
“HOLDING” while this signal is OFF.
20012 CALL MASTER JOB
Only the rising edge of the signal is valid. It calls up the top of the robot pro-
gram, that is the top of the master JOB1. This signal is invalid during play-
back, during teach-lock and when play master or call is prohibited (set from
the playback operation condition display).
20013 ALARM/ERROR RESET
After an alarm or error has occurred and the cause been corrected, this sig-
nal resets the alarm or error.
20014 EXTERNAL SERVO ON
Only the rising edge of this signal is valid. This signal turns ON the SERVO
power.
Use this signal to turn ON the SERVO power from an external device.
20015 SELECT PLAY MODE
The PLAY mode is selected when the mode key on the programming pen-
dant is set to REMOTE. Only the rising edge of the signal is valid. When
this selection signal assigned concurrently with other mode selection sig-
nal, the TEACH mode is selected on a priority basis. The signal is invalid
while EXTERNAL MODE SWITCH is prohibited.
20016 SELECT TEACH MODE
The TEACH mode is selected when the mode key of the programming pen-
dant is set to REMOTE. The other mode selection is unavailable when this
signal is ON; the signal is selected by priority even when the other selection
signal is ON, enabling the TEACH mode selection.
20017 PLAY MODE ENABLE SIGNAL SELECTION
To change the operation mode from the TEACH mode to the PLAY mode,
change the mode switch of the programming pendant from TEACH to PLAY
or REMOTE and input the PLAY mode enable signal from an external de-
vice.
If the mode switch of the programming pendant is set to REMOTE and the
TEACH mode is selected, select the PLAY mode and input the PLAY mode
enable signal by using an external device to change the operation mode to
the PLAY mode.
For details refer to chapter
1. A master job is a JOB (program) which can be called by CALL MASTER JOB. Other functions are the same as
for normal JOBs. Normally, the parent JOB, which manages the child JOBs called up immediately after the power
is turned ON, is set as the master JOB.

curs, this signal remains ON until the main power is turned OFF.
30014 BATTERY ALARM
This signal turns ON to notify that the battery requires replacing when the
voltage drops from the battery for backup memory of the encoder. Major
problems may result if memory data is lost because of an expired battery.
It is recommended to avoid these problems by using this signal as a warn-
ing signal.
30015 REMOTE MODE SELECTED
This signal notifies the current mode setting. These signals are synchro-
nized with the mode select switch in the programming pendant. The signal
corresponding to the selected mode turns ON.
30016 PLAY/TEACH MODE SELECTED
This signal notifies the current mode setting. These signals are synchro-
nized with the mode select switch in the programming pendant. The signal
corresponding to the selected mode turns ON.
