Zone

Depending on the application, it may be necessary to set a safety limit different from the global safety limit designated by “ Robot Limits Setting ” in certain spaces. It is possible to set a separate safety limit only in the designated section using the section setting function. Overridable safety limits are designated depending on the section type.

• Collaborative Zone Settings

• Crushing Prevention Zone Settings

• Collision Sensitivity Reduction Zone Settings

• Tool Orientation Limit Zone Settings

• Custom Zone Settings

By selecting the Valid Space, it is possible to select whether the Inspection Point cannot enter the designated space or cannot leave the space.

With the Zone Margin, the expanded volume from the designated volume with specified points can be easily configured.

Safety Limits that is overridden in Zone has the priority below.

• Safety limit overridden inside Zone has priority over the global Safety Limits
• Safety limit overridden inside High Priority Zone has priority over safety limit overridden inside Zone.
• If there are several safety limits for one type of safety function at certain TCP position because of overlapped Zones, the most restricted safety limit has the priority.
• If there are several safety limits for one type of safety function at certain TCP position because of overlapped High Priority Zones, the LEAST restricted safety limit has the priority.

Warning

High Priority Zones have priority over the other Zones and global Robot Limits setting. And If multiple High Priority Zones are overlapped, the safety function uses the LEAST restricted safety limit. For these reasons, the size of High Priority Zone should be specified as small as possible for safety

If Dynamic Zone Enable is selected, that Zone is activated/deactivated according to the designated Safety I/O Input signal. If the Input is active, then the corresponding Zone is activated. If the Input is not active, then the corresponding Zone is deactivated, and Robot operates as same as without that Zone.
