Does anyone here know the requirements of having a configuration signature on robots? We have a lot of Fanuc robots and any time a motor is replaced, it requires remastering the robot which changes the configuration signature, which then has to be resetup in the guardlogix controller to allow communication.
From my understanding, without a configuration signature the safety rating is SIL2 and with it is SIL3, but what I don't understand is what kind of SIL requirement is required for a robotic cell where it would potentially be possible for operator to be hit by robot while loading fixture. Does everyone here use the configuration signature in their robotic cells?
Thanks.
