Safety Units

Introduction: Safety units and boards are critical components within the robot controller responsible for implementing and monitoring the robot's functional safety system according to relevant standards. They manage safety-related inputs (operation modes, emergency stops, light curtains, weld systems), control safety-related outputs (contactors for driveunits and brakes), and execute safety logic in manual/auto operation with the teach pendant and also Safe Move functions. All boards and modules follows all standard safety regulation as 2-channel modes etc. Failure compromises the integrity of the robot's safety functions. Component Scope: This category includes dedicated safety controller boards, teach pendants, key operation mode switch, safety relay modules, emergency stop interface boards, safe I/O modules, and potentially integrated safety PLCs used within ABB robot control systems. Quality Assurance and Options: Refurbished safety components undergo rigorous testing to verify correct operation of safety circuits and logic according to manufacturer specifications. These critical components are provided with a 12-month warranty. Due to the critical nature, the exchange system is often available for these parts. Part Identification: Identify parts using ABB specific part number found on the unit label (example: 3HAC…3HAB…) on the board or module. Also, it can be identified by the “DSQC” name. Reference robot controller documentation and electrical schematics for verification. For assistance ensuring the correct component is selected, please contact Global Robot Parts.
