Working Principle: The UR5EG3 continuously monitors safety input signals (from E-stop buttons, safety door switches, light curtains, etc.) through its 3 input channels. The internal safety processor executes the programmed safety logic (AND, OR, voting, timing functions). When a safety condition is violated (e.g., E-stop pressed, safety door opened), the safety relay de-energizes all safety outputs within 30 ms, driving the forced guided contacts to their safe state. The forced guided contact design uses mechanical linkage between NO and NC contacts, so if one contact welds, the other contact’s state change is detected, triggering a diagnostic fault. The cross-monitoring function compares outputs from different channels to detect internal faults. The device performs online diagnostics including input circuit monitoring, output contact monitoring, and processor self-test. All events are logged with timestamps for incident analysis.
