26. What is the protection level of Universal Robots? Can Universal Robots be used in special environments? What certifications does Universal Robots have?
The UR3 robot is IP64 and UR5 and UR10 are IP54. The first digit of the IP rating is dustproof, and the second digit is waterproof. Universal Robots' degree of protection is no problem for use in general industrial environments.
Special environments generally refer to vacuum environments, clean rooms, painting, large amounts of dust or liquid spray, high electrostatic or electromagnetic environments, etc. Universal Robots are tested and certified for use in clean rooms; The robotic arm can be used in environments with dust or spray liquids by wearing protective clothing.
The robot has not been tested in a vacuum environment and is not recommended; Universal Robots do not have explosion-proof functions and cannot be used in oil-injected paint environments; It is not recommended to use in high electrostatic or electromagnetic environments unless it is properly insulated and protected.
Universal Robots complies with the requirements of 2006/42/EC and has adopted the following directives: 2014/35/EU - Low Voltage Directive (LVD), 2014/30/EU - Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC), 2011/65/EU - Prohibition of Certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS).
Universal Robots is certified for a number of safety systems, including TüV NORD, PLd tested according to EN ISO13849-1:2008; DELTA Environmental Test Certificate; EMC Test Certificate; TüVSüD Cleanroom Test Certificate according to ISO14644-1 in accordance with ISO Class 5.
27. What are the communication methods of Universal Robots?
There are two main communication methods for Universal Robots: point-to-point IO signal communication and Ethernet-based bus communication.
For point-to-point communication, there are two places that can be wired, one is the internal safety control board of the control box, which has IO signal terminals, including 16 DI signals, 16 DO signals (of which 8 signals can be configured as safety IO), as well as 2 AI signals and 2 AO signals; The other is the tool-end connector, which has 2 DI signals, 2 DO signals (configurable as NPN type) and 2 AI signals.
Universal Robots supports bus communication based on Ethernet TCP/IP protocols, including Modbus, Ethernet, Profinet and Socket.
28. Can Universal Robots communicate with PCs? What can I do?
Universal Robots can communicate with industrial PCs, PLCs with TCP/IP communication modules, and embedded systems.
The communication interfaces provided by Universal Robots are as follows: Dashboard (29999) interface, which is responsible for receiving instructions from the host computer, performing operations such as initializing the robot, loading the program, starting and pausing the program, and setting user roles; The primary and secondary (30001 and 30002) interfaces send the status information of the robot (robot location, IO, running status, etc.).
Realtime (30003) interface, send out the detailed status information of the robot (position, speed, joint current, torque, etc.), and can also receive the script instructions sent by the host computer and execute them immediately; RTDE (30004) interface, which sends detailed status information of the robot (position, speed, joint current, torque, etc.) and also receives input information about the configuration (IO, registers, etc.).
Socket communication, communicate with the host computer through script instructions; XML-RPC communication, a protocol for transferring structured data through XML format, has the advantage that the transmitted data is structured and does not require users to serialize and parse themselves.
