## Safety

- DCS Position and Speed Check is a certified, sensorless safety function that monitors robot zones and speeds.
- External Mode Select provides safety-rated remote selection of AUTO, T1, or T2 modes via DCS.
- DCS Safe I/O Connect provides software-based safety I/O.
- EtherNet/IP Safety and PROFIsafe are certified safety network options for robot integration.
- Password Protection provides role-based access control (RBAC) to limit access.

## Study notes

- iHMI is the user interface and can display guides for setup and programming as well as tutorials from the main home page.
- The programming guide allows first-time robot users to create a program for a simple handling task and execute it in just 30 minutes.
- Multi-Group Motion option synchronizes up to 8 motion groups within a single controller.
- The R-30iB Plus A-Cabinet variant supports up to 2 auxiliary axes.
- MQTT requires the KAREL option.
- KAREL is a compiled programming language that allows access and control of all aspects of the FANUC robot except motion.
- OPC UA Server function allows an OPC UA client to monitor and write data from the robot controller’s OPC UA server.
- EtherNet/IP and PROFINET options provide PLC I/O communication; safety variants are EtherNet/IP Safety and PROFIsafe.
- DCS (Dual Check Safety) Position and Speed Check monitors robot zones and speeds without sensors.
- External Mode Select enables safety-rated remote selection of AUTO, T1, or T2 modes via DCS.
- Password Protection provides role-based access control (RBAC) through Teach Pendant configuration or an XML file.
- SFTP Server allows the robot to act as an SFTP server using SSH to encrypt and authenticate file transfers.
