1.1 Safety information
1.1.1 Limitation of liability
Limitation of liability
Any information given in this manual regarding safety must not be construed as a
warranty by ABB that the industrial robot will not cause injury or damage even if
all safety instructions are complied with.
The information does not cover how to design, install and operate a robot system,
nor does it cover all peripheral equipment that can influence the safety of the robot
system.
In particular, liability cannot be accepted if injury or damage has been caused for
any of the following reasons:
• Use of the robot in other ways than intended.
• Incorrect operation or maintenance.
• Operation of the robot when the safety devices are defective, not in their
intended location or in any other way not working.
• When instructions for operation and maintenance are not followed.
• Non-authorized design modifications of the robot.
• Repairs on the robot and its spare parts carried out by in-experienced or
non-qualified personnel.
• Foreign objects.
• Force majeure.
Spare parts and equipment
ABB supplies original spare parts and equipment which have been tested and
approved. The installation and/or use of non-original spare parts and equipment
can negatively affect the safety, function, performance, and structural properties
of the robot. ABB is not liable for damages caused by the use of non-original spare
parts and equipment.

1.1.1 Limitation of liability

1.1.2 Safety data
About this section
This chapter describes the necessary safety data required by standard EN ISO
13849-1:2015.
Prevailing directives and standards
For the use of industrial robots and how to protect personnel from being injured,
special regulations must be fulfilled as described in the following directives and
standards:
• Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
• EN ISO 10218-1:2011
• EN ISO 13849-1:2008 (when explicitly called forth by EN ISO 10218-1:2011
as ISO 13849-1:2006)
• EN ISO 13849-1:2015
Performance level and category
EN ISO 13849-1, which is a B-standard, describes the general concept of
performance level (PL) and category. Each machine or machinery is potentially
dangerous and can cause personal injury. Based on severity of injury and probability
of accident, when using the machine, a certain level of safety performance, so
called required performance level (PLr) can be defined, where level a represents
the lowest risk and level e the highest. According to this, the machine must be
equipped with safety related parts, meeting the required performance level, to
reduce the risk to accepted low level. As specified in EN ISO 10218-1, normally
PL d is required for robots, but depending on the applications a higher requirement
could be needed if a risk analysis will result in PL e.
To comply with a certain PLr, in this case d, the safety related parts of the robots
and controllers must be structurally designed according to specific structure
categories and using reliable components.
In EN ISO 13849-1 it is in detail specified what category and components data,
which must be met, to fulfill PL d. These are:
• Category 3, which is normally fulfilled using double channels
• MTTFD(Mean Time To dangerous Failure) – high
• DC (Diagnostic Coverage) – low or medium
• CCF (Common Cause Failures) – better than 65 scores according to Annex
F
Performance level for ABB IRC5 controller
To verify that robots and controller comply with at least PL d a self assessment
has been carried out and documented in a Technical Report. The essential
conclusions are accounted for below.
The safety related parts of robot and controller are e.g. the following stop circuits:
• Enabling device
• Emergency stop on operator panel

1.1.2 Safety data

• Emergency stop on FlexPendant
• Limiting robot motion
• Protective stops
• SafeMove2
For the overall design and structure, the category 3 has been verified and meeting
the requirements of CCF.
Each of the stop circuits includes different components like enabling switch, panel
board, contactor board, relays etc. For each of these the MTTFDand DC have been
calculated according to EN ISO 13849-1 Annex C, D and E resulting in the values
as specified in the following table.

Conclusion according to EN ISO 13849-1:2015
The IRC5 controller safety system has a safety category 3 with performance level
PL d according to EN ISO 13849-1 using the simplified method of chapter 4.5.4 of
EN ISO 13849-1 and thus fulfils the safety performance requirement of the robot
safety standard EN ISO 10218-1.
The Common Cause Failure (CCF) is met according to the standard requirements.
