Official Safety Notice(s) on the bottom of the page

To: Universal Robots Customers of PROFIsafe
From: Universal Robots Global Technical Compliance
Date: 15 October 2024
Subject: SAFETY NOTICE PROFIsafe

During our on-going quality assurance efforts, a minor issue was discovered relating to the use of:

• PROFIsafe combined with an external 3-Position Enabling Device
• PROFIsafe combined with a 3-Position Enabling Teach Pendant (3PE TP).

The issue can inadvertently lead the operator to believe there is no program running even if the robot is in fact being controlled by a program.

The issue does not compromise any of the safety features of our robots. However, it is possible that an operator can be confused about the control of a robot.

This confusion can lead to hazardous situations.

The software versions affected when an external 3PE device, or a 3PE TP, is used are as follows:

• SW 5.13
• SW 5.14
• SW 5.15
• SW 5.16
• SW 5.17
• SW 5.18

SW 5.12 LTS is not affected
