Availability, reliability, flexibility and comprehensive diagnostics are the most significant demands placed upon safety systems today. Increasing characteristics of robot processes, with increasing payloads, work ranges, and cycle times necessitate a more flexible approach to safety, which cannot be addressed with traditional methods. A safety system for industrial robots incorporating the safety-related fieldbus is developed. BMW are the first to directly integrate robotic safety functions using a safety-related fieldbus.
