1.4.3 About the automatic modeWhat is the automatic mode?The automatic mode is used for running the robot program in production.Active safeguard mechanismsThe safety stop mechanism and the Cartesian speed supervision are always active,both while operating in manual and automatic mode.Coping with process disturbancesProcess disturbances may not only affect a specific manipulator cell but an entirechain of systems even if the problem originates in a specific cell.Extra care must be taken during such a disturbance since that chain of events maycreate hazardous operations not seen when operating the single manipulator cell.All remedial actions must be performed by personnel with good knowledge of theentire production line, not only the malfunctioning manipulator.Process disturbance examplesA manipulator picking components from a conveyer might be taken out of productiondue to a mechanical malfunction, while the conveyer must remain running in orderto continue production in the rest of the production line. This means, of course,that extra care must be taken by the personnel preparing the manipulator in closeproximity to the running conveyor.A welding manipulator needs maintenance. Taking the welding manipulator out ofproduction also means that a work bench as well as a material handling manipulatormust be taken out of production to avoid personnel hazards.Operating manual - IRB 14000 193HAC052986-001 Revision: E© Copyright 2015-2018 ABB.
