Where on the IRC5 controller do I connect my E-stop chain?

How do I monitor the E-stop status of the robot? Like internal dry contacts . So that if the robot E-stop is pressed it opened the E-stop circuit and Stops everything?

Do you have the single cabinet or the compact controller?

Mjsh635

It's the compact controller, I have already tied in my ES1 and AS1 chain and they operator correctly. But for the love of me I can't find where to connect my E-stop button monitoring

Set up and use the system output E-Stop.

is there no hardwire solution? as we didnt order the robot with safety over ethernet

lemster68

You don't need that, you have some communication with PLC or cell controller?

Mjsh635

Yes we are using a Compact Guardlogix 5380 safety PLC, connecting to the Robot using Ethernet/IP.

It looks like the terminals are not brought out to the front of the compact controller.
So you will have to remove the covers and find the X14 connector on the safety board.
If you are have the SafeMove option these will already be in use.

Hello,

I am confronted to the same issue. I need to hardwire safety output to a plc, but no such X14 terminal seem to be accessible in my irc5 compact controller. I am a bit sceptical about removing the cover... is it the right way one is supposed to proceed ? @graemepaulin
