General Safety Precautions
– Connection between the Control Unit and the three-phase supply mains at the
works, is to be with a four-pole (3 phases + earth) armoured cable dimensioned
appropriately for the power installed on the Control Unit. See the product
Technical Documentation.
– The power supply cable is to enter the Control Unit through the specific fairlead and
be properly clamped.
– Connect the earth conductor (PE) then connect the power conductors to the main
switch.
ge-0-0-0_01.FM
00/0710 9
General Safety Precautions
– Connect the power supply cable, first connecting the earth conductor to the circuit
breaker on the mains line, after checking with a tester that the circuit breaker
terminals are not powered. Connect the cable armouring to the earth.
– Connect the signals and power cables between the Control Unit and the robot.
– Connect the robot to earth or to the Control Unit or to a nearby earth socket.
– Check that the Control Unit door (or doors) is/are locked with the key.
– A wrong connection of the connectors could cause permanent damage to the
Control Unit components.
– The C5G Control Unit manages internally the main safety interlocks (gates,
enabling pushbuttons, etc.). Connect the C5G Control Unit safety interlocks to the
line safety circuits, taking care to connect them as required by the Safety
standards. The safety of the interlock signals coming from the transfer line
(emrgency stop, gates safey devices etc) i.e. the realisation of correct and safe
circuits, is the responsibility of the Robot and Control System integrator.
In the cell/line emergency stop circuit the contacts must be included of the control
unit emergency stop buttons, which are on X30. The push buttons are not
interlocked in the emergency stop circuit of the Control Unit.
– The safety of the system cannot be guaranteed if these interlocks are wrongly
executed, incomplete or missing.
– The safety circuit executes a controlled stop (IEC 60204-1 , class 1 stop) for the
safety inputs Auto Stop/ General Stop and Emergency Stop. The controlled stop is
only active in Automatic states; in Programming the power is cut out (power
contactors open) immediately. The procedure for the selection of the controlled
stop time (that can be set on SDM board) is contained in the Installation manual .
– When preparing protection barriers, especially light barriers and access doors,
bear in mind that the robot stop times and distances are according to the stop
category (0 or 1) and the weight of the robot.
Check that the controlled stop time is consistent with the type of Robot connected
to the Control Unit. The stop time is selected using selector switches SW1 and
SW2 on the SDM board.
– Check that the environment and working conditions are within the range specified
in the specific product Technical Documentation.
– The calibration operations are to be carried out with great care, as indicated in the
Technical Documentation of the specific product, and are to be concluded
checking the correct position of the machine.
– To load or update the system software (for example after replacing boards), use
only the original software handed over by COMAU Robotics & Service.
Scrupulously follow the system software uploading procedure described in the
Technical Documentation supplied with the specific product. After uploading,
always make some tests moving the robot at slow speed and remaining outside the
protected area.
– Check that the barriers of the protected area are correctly positioned.

General Safety Precautions
Programming Mode
– The robot is only to be programmed by the authorised personnel.
– Before starting to program, the operator must check the Robot System (Robot and
Control System) to make sure that there are no potentially hazardous irregular
conditions, and that there is nobody inside the protected area.
– When possible the programming should be controlled from outside the protected
area.
– Before operating inside the Protected Area, the operator must make sure from
outside that all the necessary protections and safety devices are present and in
working order, and especially that the hand-held programming unit functions
correctly (slow speed, emergency stop, enabling device, etc.).
– During the programming session, only the operator with the hand-held terminal is
allowed inside the Protected Area.
– If the presence of a second operator in the working area is necessary when
checking the program, this person must have an enabling device interlocked with
the safety devices.
– Activation of the motors (Drive On) is always to be controlled from a position
outside the range of the robot, after checking that there is nobody in the area
involved. The Drive On operation is concluded when the relevant machine status
indication is shown.
– When programming, the operator is to keep at a distance from the robot to be able
to avoid any irregular machine movements, and in any case in a position to avoid
the risk of being trapped between the robot and structural parts (columns, barriers,
etc.), or between movable parts of the actual robot.
– When programming, the operator is to avoid remaining in a position where parts of
the robot, pulled by gravity, could execute downward movements, or move
upwards or sideways (when installed on a sloped plane).
– Testing a programmed cycle at working speed with the operator inside the
protected area, in some situations where a close visual check is necessary, is only
to be carried out after a complete test cycle at slow speed has been executed. The
test is to be controlled from a safe distance.
– Special attention is to be paid when programming using the hand-held terminal: in
this situation, although all the hardware and software safety devices are active, the
robot movement depends on the operator.
– During the first running of a new program, the robot may move along a path that is
not the one expected.
– The modification of program steps (such as moving by a step from one point to
another of the flow, wrong recording of a step, modification of the robot position out
of the path that links two steps of the program), could give rise to movements not
envisaged by the operator when testing the program.
– In both cases operate cautiously, always remaining out of the robot’s range of
action and test the cycle at slow speed.

General Safety Precautions
Before using the manual release devices, it is strongly recommended to sling the
robot, or hook to an overhead travelling crane.
– Enabling the brake releasing device may cause the axes falling due to gravity as
well as possible impacts due to an incorrect restoration, after applying the brake
releasing module. The procedure for the correct usage of the brake releasing
device (both for the integrated one and module one) is to be found in the
maintenance manuals.
– When the motion is enabled again following the interruption of an unfinished
MOVE, the track recovery typical function may generate unpredictable paths that
may imply the risk of impact. This same condition arises at the next automatic cycle
restarting. Avoid moving the Robot to positions that are far away from the ones
provided for the motion restart; alternatively disable the outstanding MOVE
programmes and/or instructions.

General Safety Precautions
After replacement of the SDM module, check on the new module that the setting
of the stop time on selector switches SW1 and SW2 is consistent with the type of
Robot connected to the Control Unit.

1.2.5 Performance
The performances below shall be considered before installing the robot system:
– Stop distances
– Mission time (typ. case).
Stop distances
– With Robot in programming modality (T1), if you press the sttop pushbutton (red
mushroom-shaped one on WiTP) in category 0 (secondo norma EN60204-1), you
will obtain:
– Considering the Robot in automatico modality, under full extension, full load and
maximmum speed conditions, if you press the stop pushbutton (red
mushroom-shaped one on WiTP) in category 1 (according to norm EN60204-1)
you will trigger the Robot complete stop with controlled deleration ramp.
Example: for Robot NJ 370-2.7 you will obtain the complete stop in about 85 °
motion, that correspond to about 3000 mm movement measured on TCP flange.
Under the said conditions, the stopping time for Robot NJ 370-2.7 is equal to 1,5
seconds.

General Description
2.3 Interchangeability
The interchangeability of robots of the same version is a fundamental characteristic in
order to enable rapid substitution, or to transfer the same program to another robotic
station.
This characteristic is guaranteed by:
– adequate construction tolerances of all the parts that make up the structure
– precise robot location on the mounting plate by means of two pins (supplied with
the robot)
– possibility of bringing the axes to a known position (Calibration) using a specific tool
(the same for all axes and all models).
These features make it possible to transfer programs between robots of the same
version.
The above-mentioned characteristics are indispensable for effective “off-line
programming” executed in virtual environment.
2.4 Calibration
Calibration is the operation that makes it possible to bring the robot axes to a known
position to ensure the correct repetition of programmed cycles and interchangeability
between machines of the same version.
There are two calibration methods:
– Precise calibration: executed using a special tool that is the same for all axes and
all models. This operation must be executed after special maintenance operations
involving the separation of the kinematic chain between the motor and the robot
axis, or when particularly demanding cycles regarding precision have to be
executed.
– Calibration using location notches enables rapid but improper calibration with less
precision, and it may not restore robot movements with the precision that is
required by the specific application. Calibration by notches consists of bringing the
robot axes onto the calibration notches, aligning them with precision by sight,
without using specific tools, executing the calibration commands axis by axis.
