FANUC Collision Guard provides a highly sensitive method to detect whether a robot
has collided with any object from any direction, and to stop the robot immediately in any
incident. This is done by automatically decreasing the pressure on the object which it has
collided with, thus greatly minimizing possible damage to the tool, to the robot itself and
also reducing downtime after collision.

Your advantages with FANUC Collision Guard:

Can be used in all directions, which is not the case with conventional
hardware solutions
Protects the robot, the gripper and its surroundings, whereas hardware
solutions only protect the gripper not the robot and not the surrounding
areas
T H E E X T R A A DVA N TA G E :
Integrated Payload Identication
Robots running on FANUC
Robotics R-J3iB or R-30iA
controllers also receive the
practical Payload Identication
software along with the FANUC
Collision Guard-package:
It identies the payload and
sets the payload parameters
automatically.

Protects also auxiliary axes included in your installation, thus strongly

increasing the security
Can be enabled or disabled and it is also possible to dene the level of
sensitivity of the collision detection function
Can be used within a production programme such as checking the exact
position of a product in a palletizing programme
So even if you are currently using a hardware solution, you should think
about installing FANUC Collision Guard, as this may reduce hardware
failures which can be expensive and cause loss of production. At the same
time you reduce the possibility of damage to your robot and/or peripheral
objects.

The FANUC Approach Deterrence Function prevents collision risks in detecting a near
miss between one robot and another or a xed object by using fast Ethernet links to
continually monitor the distance between robots, end-effectors and tooling: When the
distance becomes less than a preset value, the robots decelerate to a stop, thereby
preventing a crash from occurring. FANUC Approach Deterrence Function is permanently
active during system set-up and in production. So it guards effectively against collisions
when operators ne-tune robot trajectories.

The risk of not performing a back-up can be very costly in terms of security, time and
production losses. The FANUC Automatic Back-up function enables you to back up and
restore an older programme if necessary.

Your FANUC AUTOMATIC BACK-UP possibilities

If you changed the robot
programme, and the new one
doesnt work as expected, the
Automatic Back-up function
allows you to restore the old
programme to get the application
running again.
Just like a PC, taking a regular
back-up allows you to recover
your data (system variables and
teach pendant programmes)
quickly and efciently. With this
the back-up can be scheduled
at any specic time that best
suits your needs e.g. every night
at 23.00.

Robot internal memory

Automatic back-ups to be saved directly to the robot
internal memory (FRA).
PCMCIA Memory Card
Using external devices offers higher security, therefore you can perform
automatic back-ups on simple PCMCIA memory card to save all data.
LAN
This is the solution we recommend, mainly because there are no limits
on le size. You can perform the back-ups and have them stored on your
network to allow fast and easy access.
Multiple back-up option
If you have a large number of robot installations, you can programme the
automatic back-up via FANUC PC File Service enabling users to back up
and restore robot application les from many robots to a single PC via
Ethernet.

This software protects the robot data from unauthorized access with additional benets
such as login history, multiple accounts and system data protection.

The password is a combination of up to 12 letters, numbers and symbols used

to allow access to various operations and screens.
Four password levels provide access to specic operations and menus:
Installation level with open access to all functions
Setup level with full access to setup and programming functions
Programme level with access to programming functions
and read-only access to setup
Operators level which is limited to selection and running of programmes
Your advantages with the FANUC PASSWORD FUNCTION:
Login history to the review of all logins/logouts to the robot. This makes it
possible to see what changes have been made and identify the person who
made the changes.
Multiple accounts, so that each user can have his/her own user name and
password with personalised access level.
System data protection, to ensure that the access to the controller is dened
according to the skill level of various users. The controller is thus protected
against any intrusion or unskilled operation.

The FANUC Operation Logbook not only automatically
records any action e.g. programme modication a
user has taken with a teach pendant: With this FANUC
software option you can determine causes for operating
mistakes.
Basically, the FANUC Operation Logbook is an audit le of teach pendant
actions it improves the tracking of robot usage as well as the security.
Operations of Teach Pendant and alarms are recorded automatically, the
records are displayed in a log book menu within the teach pendant and can be
saved as text les for back-up for future reference.
By using the FANUC Operating Logbook, you can determine causes for
operation mistakes such as:
Change in System Variables
Change in Override
Change in I/O status
Teach Pendant programme modications

GUARANTEED MAXIMUM SPEED: IF YOU WANT TO KNOW IF
YOUR ROBOTS ARE WORKING AT MINIMIUM CYCLE TIME, YOU
NEED THIS FANUC SOFTWARE OPTION. TO SPEED UP YOUR

With the FANUC Cycle Time Priority, we offer a service
in which we determine if you are actually achieving the
minimum cycle time possible. For this we take a back-up
of your robot and perform an analysis to determine the
possibility of improving cycle time with a 2% accuracy.

The FANUC Integrated PMC is a method of executing Ladder Logic on the robot controller.
It can potentially eliminate the need for an external Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
or Soft Programmable Logic Controller in small systems.

Integrated PMC is executed by the dedicated communication processor in

the controller, and is completely independent from any robot motion and
programme.
It can access and control all available I/O. Some of the advantages include:
Increased interconnection speed
No requirement for an additional PLC saving cost
Programmed as a normal PLC with ladder logic
Reduced cabling cost and oor space requirement

The FANUC Error Code Output function provides an alarm as a digital output to a PLC
in binary format. It offers better error management, in particular for larger installations,
where multiple robots are able to send error messages to a system PLC.
