Workcell
Safety-3
Install a lockout device that uses an access code to prevent
unauthorized persons from operating the robot.
Use antitiedown logic to prevent the operator from bypassing
safety measures.
Arrange the workcell so the operator faces the workcell and can
see what is going on inside the cell.
Clearly identify the work envelope of each robot in the system
with floor markings, signs, and special barriers. The work
envelope is the area defined by the maximum motion range of
the robot, including any tooling attached to the wrist flange that
extend this range.
Position all controllers outside the robot work envelope.
Never rely on software as the primary safety element.
Mount an adequate number of EMERGENCY STOP buttons or
switches within easy reach of the operator and at critical points
inside and around the outside of the workcell.
Install flashing lights and/or audible warning devices that
activate whenever the robot is operating, that is, whenever
power is applied to the servo drive system. Audible warning
devices shall exceed the ambient noise level at the enduse
application.
Wherever possible, install safety fences to protect against
unauthorized entry by personnel into the work envelope.
Install special guarding that prevents the operator from reaching
into restricted areas of the work envelope.
Use interlocks.
Use presence or proximity sensing devices such as light
curtains, mats, and capacitance and vision systems to enhance
safety.
Periodically check the safety joints or safety clutches that can be
optionally installed between the robot wrist flange and tooling. If
the tooling strikes an object, these devices dislodge, remove
power from the system, and help to minimize damage to the
tooling and robot.
Safety-4
Make sure all external devices are properly filtered, grounded,
shielded, and suppressed to prevent hazardous motion due to
the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio
frequency interference (RFI), and electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
Make provisions for power lockout/tagout at the controller.
Eliminate pinch points. Pinch points are areas where personnel
could get trapped between a moving robot and other equipment.
Provide enough room inside the workcell to permit personnel to
teach the robot and perform maintenance safely.
Program the robot to load and unload material safely.
If high voltage electrostatics are present, be sure to provide
appropriate interlocks, warning, and beacons.
If materials are being applied at dangerously high pressure,
provide electrical interlocks for lockout of material flow and
pressure.
Advise all personnel who must teach the robot or otherwise
manually operate the robot to observe the following rules:
Never wear watches, rings, neckties, scarves, or loose clothing
that could get caught in moving machinery.
Know whether or not you are using an intrinsically safe teach
pendant if you are working in a hazardous environment.
Before teaching, visually inspect the robot and work envelope to
make sure that no potentially hazardous conditions exist. The
work envelope is the area defined by the maximum motion
range of the robot. These include tooling attached to the wrist
flange that extends this range.
The area near the robot must be clean and free of oil, water, or
debris. Immediately report unsafe working conditions to the
supervisor or safety department.
FANUC Robotics recommends that no one enter the work
envelope of a robot that is on, except for robot teaching
operations. However, if you must enter the work envelope, be
sure all safeguards are in place, check the teach pendant
DEADMAN switch for proper operation, and place the robot in
teach mode. Take the teach pendant with you, turn it on, and be
prepared to release the DEADMAN switch. Only the person
with the teach pendant should be in the work envelope.

Process technicians are sometimes required to enter the paint
booth, for example, during daily or routine calibration or while
teaching new paths to a robot. Maintenance personal also must
work inside the paint booth periodically.
Whenever personnel are working inside the paint booth, ventilation
equipment must be used. Instruction on the proper use of
ventilating equipment usually is provided by the paint shop
supervisor.
Although paint booth hazards have been minimized, potential
dangers still exist. Therefore, todays highly automated paint booth
requires that process and maintenance personnel have full
awareness of the system and its capabilities. They must
understand the interaction that occurs between the vehicle moving
along the conveyor and the robot(s), hood/deck and door opening
devices, and highvoltage electrostatic tools.
Paint robots are operated in three modes:
Teach or manual mode
Automatic mode, including automatic and exercise operation
Diagnostic mode
During both teach and automatic modes, the robots in the paint
booth will follow a predetermined pattern of movements. In teach
mode, the process technician teaches (programs) paint paths using
the teach pendant.
In automatic mode, robot operation is initiated at the System
Operator Console (SOC) or Manual Control Panel (MCP), if
available, and can be monitored from outside the paint booth. All
personnel must remain outside of the booth or in a designated safe

SOC or MCP.
In automatic mode, the robots will execute the path movements they
were taught during teach mode, but generally at production speeds.
When process and maintenance personnel run diagnostic routines
that require them to remain in the paint booth, they must stay in a
designated safe area.
Process technicians and maintenance personnel must become
totally familiar with the equipment and its capabilities. To minimize
the risk of injury when working near robots and related equipment,
personnel must comply strictly with the procedures in the manuals.
This section provides information about the safety features that are
included in the paint system and also explains the way the robot
interacts with other equipment in the system.
The paint system includes the following safety features:
Most paint booths have red warning beacons that illuminate
when the robots are armed and ready to paint. Your booth
might have other kinds of indicators. Learn what these are.
Some paint booths have a blue beacon that, when illuminated,
indicates that the electrostatic devices are enabled. Your booth
might have other kinds of indicators. Learn what these are.
EMERGENCY STOP buttons are located on the robot controller
and teach pendant. Become familiar with the locations of all E
STOP buttons.
An intrinsically safe teach pendant is used when teaching in
hazardous paint atmospheres.
A DEADMAN switch is located on each teach pendant. When this
switch is held in, and the teach pendant is on, power is applied to the
robot servo system. If the engaged DEADMAN switch is released
during robot operation, power is removed from the servo system, all
axis brakes are applied, and the robot comes to an EMERGENCY
STOP. Safety interlocks within the system might also ESTOP other
robots.

WARNING
An EMERGENCY STOP will occur if the DEADMAN switch is
released on a bypassed robot.

1) Zero point and working limit
Each controlled axis has its own zero point and working limits.
Each controlled axis is limited mechanically by dog.
When the controlled axis reached its working limit, and trips its limit
switch it is called Over Travel (OT). Over Travel is detected at both ends
of the axis.
The robot is controlled not to work beyond its operating area unless the
servo system fails or a system error occurs so that the zero point is lost.
Figs. 5.1(a) through 5.1(h) show the zero point, working limits (stroke),
OT detection dogs, and mechanical stopper positions for each axis.
Adjust each limit switch (Section 8.3) and dog such that an OT alarm is
issued at the positions shown in the figures.

Quick mastering is a method of exact calibration at the original position
when the pulse coder battery backup is disconnected, such as when a cable
is replaced.
Quick mastering cannot be used when the mechanical phase of the pulse
coder is changed, such as when a motor or reducer is replaced. In such
a case, perform mastering using jigs as described in Section 5.5.
a) Before replacing the cable, note down the mastering data for the
system variable $DMR_GRP.$MASTER_COUN[1][6] (pre-
vious mastering data).
b) Replace the cable.
c) To release the brake control, set the system variable $PA-
RAM_GROUP.$SV_OFF_ENB to FALSE for all axes, then per-
form a cold start. (See Section 5.2(2).)
d) Upon powerup, a BZAL alarm is output. Set the system variable
$MCR.$SPC_RESET to TRUE, then perform a cold start.
e) When the power is turned on, the message Pulse not established
appears. Rotate each axis through about 10 in the positive (+)
or negative () direction by joint feed. Then, press the alarm re-
lease key to release the message.
f) Move all the axes, by joint feed, to position each axis to the zero
degree mark with an accuracy of "1 mm relative to the arrow
mark. (See Fig. 5.3.)
g) Assign the mastering data (noted in step a)) for the system
variable $DMR_GRP.$MASTER_COUN[1][6] to the system
variable for the quick mastering data, $DMR_GRP.
$REF_COUN [1][6]. Then, enter 0 as the system variable for
the quick mastering reference position data, $DMR_GRP.
$REF_POS [1][6]. Next, set the quick mastering completion
flag $DMR_GRP.$REF_DONE to TRUE. This completes the
setting of the quick mastering reference position at the zero de-
gree position for each axis.
h) Press the screen selection key to display the menu. Then, select
SYSTEM. From the system menu, select Master/Cal. If the cal-
ibration screen is not displayed, set the system variable $MAS-
TER_ENBL to 1.
i) Select 4 QUICK MASTER from the system calibration menu,
then press function key F4 (YES). Quick mastering is performed.
j) Teaching and playback are enabled by selecting 6 Master/Cal
from the system calibration menu and pressing function key F4
(YES).
k) If brake control has been released, reset the system variable $PA-

Each of the robots axes is fitted with arrow marks shown in Fig. 5.3. The
axis is at the zero degree position if these marks match. If such a mark
is not at its correct position, it can be mastered as follows.
This operation allows you to roughly master the position. Accurate
mastering requires the operation using the mastering jig described in the
5.5 section.
a) To release the brake control, set system variable $PA-
RAM_GRP.$SV_OFF_ENB for each axis to FALSE, turn off the
power, and perform a cold start. [See 5.2 2)]
b) When a BZAL alarm is output upon powerup, set the system
variable $MCR.$SPC_RESET to TRUE, then perform a cold
start.
c) If the message Pulse not established appears when the power
is turned on, rotate each axis through about 10_ in the positive (+)
or negative () direction by joint feed. Then, press the alarm re-
lease key to release the message.
d) Move all axes by joint feed to position each axis to the zero degree
mark. (See Fig. 5.3.)
e) Press the screen selection key to display the menu. Then, select
SYSTEM. From the system menu, select Master/Cal. If the cal-
ibration screen is not displayed, set the system variable $MAS-
TER_ENBL to 1.
f) Select 2 ZERO POSITION MASTER from the system calibra-
tion menu, then press function key F4 (YES). Then, mastering
is performed. Thus, mastering data acquired from the pulse coder
counter is set in the system variable $DMR_GRP.MAS-
TER_COUN, and the system variable $DMR_GRP.MAS-
TER_DONE (mastering completion flag) is set to true.
g) Teaching and playback are enabled by selecting 6 Master/Cal
from the system calibration menu and pressing function key F4
(YES).
h) If brake control has been released, reset the system variable $PA-
RAM_GROUP.$SV_OFF_ENB to the previous value for all
axes, then perform a cold start.
i) Finally, as a safeguard against mastering data being rewritten by
an operation error, note down the mastering data for the system
variable $DMR_GRP.$MASTER_COUN. Furthermore, draw
arrow marks for zero position calibration with the zero degree
position attitude, as shown in Fig. 5.3.
To perform mastering for one axis only, perform singleaxis
mastering as described below.
The new position data is thus stored only for the target axis, and
previous position data is stored for the other axes.
The J2- and J3-axes must be mastered simultaneously because
they rotate together.

If the present value stored via the APC (Absolute Pulse Coder) and the
actual position of each axis are misaligned after a major component of the
robots mechanical unit has been replaced, mastering is to be carried out
to set the robots geometric position. (Mastering is executed at J1=0_)
The robot has been mastered by the time of the shipment.
Before mastering the robot do the following:
Make the robots base level. (1 mm/base)
Remove the wrist hand and related parts.
Do not allow an external force to be applied to the robot.
NOTE
The axis stroke is not checked during mastering. Sufficient
care shoud, therefore, be taken regarding the robots axis
movement.

1) Confirming whether mastering is normally done
When turing on the power, the position matching is automatically
done. To confirm whether this operation has normally finished, check
whether the present position display coincides with the robot actual
position using one of the following methods.
a) Move the axes to 0_ by repeat operation, and visually check the
zero degree marks. (Its shown in Fig. 5.3).
b) Position the specified position in repeat operation, and check
whether this position coincides with the programmed position.
2) Alarms at positioning
Alarms which may occur at positioning and the action to be taken are
described below.
a) BZAL alarm
This alarm occurs when the voltage of the pulse coder back-up
battery drops to zero while the controller power is turned off. If
this alarm occurs, perform mastering because the data in the
counter is lost.
b) BLAL alarm
This alarm indicates that the voltage of the pulse coder back-up
battery has become tool low to back up the pulse coder. If this
alarm occurs, replace the back-up battery with the system turned
on, and check if the present position data is correct according to
the procedure described in Item 1) above.
c) CKAL, RCAL, PHAL, CSAL, DTERR, CRCERR, STBERR,
and SPHAL alarms
When any of these alarms occur, contact the service engineer.
The motor may need to be replaced.
