In the KRC2 era, the safety of the robot was realized through a board called CI3, which was connected to an external safety device through interface X11, which contained signals such as safety doors and emergency stops.
Of course, there is also the safety interface of the Volkswagen version of the robot called XS2, and the Mercedes-Benz version of the robot called X211C
In today's KRC4 era, there are still safety loop boards, SIBs
Pros and cons:
In the early days, the communication rate of industrial buses was still very low and could not reach the speed used for safety signaling, so these safety-related hardware devices were produced.
This type of hardware device has the following drawbacks:
Hardware aging, in the end, are the hardware contacts and electronic components used, aging is unavoidable, so the old equipment will have a high failure rate
The wiring is complicated, KUKA adopts the European standard planning, all of which are double circuits, so there are many lines.
There is no need to explain more about the high failure rate of multiple nodes, and the more wiring nodes, the higher the failure rate
The cost is high, and the price of such a board is not cheap, and the wool comes from the sheep
But even with so many flaws, this type of safety planning has been carried over to the present day, and in the KRC2 era, such a board was a must, without which the safe operation of the robot and the safety of the operator could not be ensured.

Position, Posture and Posture Description – KUKA Robot
The boundary of robot operation refers to the movement of parts and things in space through a certain organization, which naturally requires the expression of the orientation and posture of parts, things and the organization itself. In order to delimit and use the mathematical quantities that express poses, we must delimit the coordinate system and give the rules of expression.
