Overview: "Integrated robotic safety utilizing SafetyBUS p and the Kuka ESC provides an alternative approach to robotic engineering, meeting the increasing demands of robotic processes. The requirements of reliability, flexibility and comprehensive diagnostics, can no longer be met with conventional relay based systems. The development of the robotic profile for SafetyBUS p fulfils these essential needs, whilst supporting definable functionality for specialized and future requirements. The changing 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. Conventional safety relay technology has also restricted functionality of safety systems, particularly in terms of flexibility and diagnostics. To get the details read the article. "
