1 Introduction
Term Description
Workspace The manipulator is allowed to move within its
workspace. The workspace is derived from the
individual axis ranges.
User The user of the industrial robot can be the man-
agement, employer or delegated person respon-
sible for use of the robot system.
Braking distance The braking distance is the distance covered by
the manipulator and any optional external axes
after the stop function has been triggered and
before the manipulator comes to a standstill. The
braking distance is part of the danger zone.
Danger zone The danger zone consists of the workspace and
the braking distances.
Industrial robot The industrial robot consists of the robot control-
ler and robot, together with any options (e.g.
KUKA linear unit, turn-tilt table, positioner, top-
mounted cabinet).
Manipulator The robot arm and the associated electrical
installations
T1 Test mode, Manual Reduced Velocity
(<= 250 mm/s)
T2 Test mode, Manual High Velocity (> 250 mm/s)
Safety Warnings marked with this pictogram are relevant to safety and must be ob-
served.
Danger!
This warning means that death, severe physical injury or substantial material
damage will occur, if no precautions are taken.
Warning!
This warning means that death, severe physical injury or substantial material
damage may occur, if no precautions are taken.
Caution!
This warning means that minor physical injuries or minor material damage
may occur, if no precautions are taken.

2 Purpose
This documentation is aimed at KUKA service and repair personnel who are
required to carry out start-up, maintenance or servicing work on a KUKA in-
dustrial robot. Its use presupposes the following prior knowledge:
Safety instruction
Advanced knowledge of the robot controller
The service plug may only be used for the following activities:
Start-up in T1 mode when the external safeguards have not yet been in-
stalled or put into operation. The danger zone must be delimited at least
by means of warning tape.
Start-up in T2 mode when the external safeguards have not yet been in-
stalled or put into operation and this work is not possible in T1 mode. The
danger zone must be safeguarded by means of a fixed guard (e.g. con-
struction fence with warning sign) and adequate access control.
Fault localization (periphery fault).
For maintenance work, if no qualified personnel are available to operate
the higher-level controller.
Valid only for the robot controllers KR C2 edition2005 DC 2005/2 and KR
C2 edition2005 BMW PL6/ E60.
Not valid for robot controllers KR C1, KR C2, VKR C1, VKR C2, VKR C2
edition2005, KR C2 sr, KR C2 lr, KR C3 and all customer-specific interfac-
es that deviate from the standard.
Danger!
Use of the service plug disables all external safeguards. The service person-
nel are responsible for ensuring that there is no-one in or near the danger
zone of the robot.
Impermissible Any use or application deviating from the designated use is deemed to be im-
misuse permissible misuse. This includes e.g.:
Use by any other personnel
Automatic mode
Automatic External mode
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from such
use. The risk lies entirely with the user.
3 Product description
Description The service plug enables service personnel to start up a manipulator with its
controller before the external safeguards have been installed.
For this purpose, the service plug bypasses the connections for the external
safety signals.
Jumpered signals:
External E-STOP
External Drives OFF
External enabling switch
Qualifying input
The service plugs have a male insert and are connected to the peripheral in-
terface of the robot controller. X11, X211c (42-contact) and X211c (108-con-
tact) have a pushbutton on the side of the housing, which can be used to test
the safety signal “Safeguard”. The pushbutton lights up if the control voltage is
present at the interface.
Options The service plugs for the special robot controllers have different designs and
are configured and wired differently. Each connector type includes the follow-
ing parts:
Harting connector housing with male insert
Switch (prefabricated)
Set of wires, AWG18
Guide bush/pin
Adhesive label
The length designations of the wires are:
L1 = 50 mm
L2 = 60 mm
L3 = 70 mm
L4 = 80 mm
L5 = 92 mm
Procedure 1. Screw pushbutton with adapter into the housing of the Harting connector.
2. Guide crimp contacts into the male insert in accordance with the circuit di-
agram and check that they are seated securely.
3. Check that all contacts are wired correctly (circuit diagram).
4. Screw insert into housing.
5. Check that the crimp contacts of the Harting connector plug in correctly
and are seated securely.
6. Check the mechanical function of the pushbutton.
7. Check the electrical switching and light function of the pushbutton.
4 Safety
Safety Warnings marked with this pictogram are relevant to safety and must be ob-
served.
Danger!
This warning means that death, severe physical injury or substantial material
damage will occur, if no precautions are taken.
Warning!

may occur, if no precautions are taken.
Notes Notes marked with this pictogram contain tips to make your work easier or ref-
erences to further information.
Hazards Possible hazards and risks involved in using the service plug:
A person walks into the manipulator’s danger zone.
An unauthorized person moves the manipulator.
In a hazardous situation, a disabled external EMERGENCY STOP device
is actuated and the manipulator is not shut down.
Warning!
The service plug must not be screwed on and its function must not be modi-
fied. Modification of the service plug can lead to malfunctions, which may re-
sult in serious physical injuries or major damage to property.
If a functional physical safeguard has not yet been installed, the danger zone
corresponds to the entire work envelope of the manipulator including the
mounted tool!
Precondition All persons working on or near the robot system must be informed that a
service plug is connected and that the external safeguards are disabled.
Check the floor mounting of the robot.
Ensure system safety (e.g. suitable barriers to prevent access).
Attach covers or warning signs on any installed EMERGENCY STOP de-
vices that are not functional.
Procedure 1. Disconnect any peripheral connector X11/X12 that may be present on the
connection panel of the robot controller.
2. Connect the service plug to interface X11/X12.
Warning!
All external safeguards normally connected to interface X11 are now deacti-
vated.
Connection panel
Precondition All persons working on or near the robot system must be informed that a
service plug is connected and that the external safeguards are disabled.
Check the floor mounting of the robot.
Ensure system safety (e.g. suitable barriers to prevent access).
Attach covers or warning signs on any installed EMERGENCY STOP de-
vices that are not functional.
Procedure 1. Disconnect any peripheral connector X11 that may be present on the con-
nection panel of the robot controller.
2. Connect the service plug to interface X11.
Warning!
All external safeguards normally connected to interface X11 are now deacti-
vated.

Attach covers or warning signs on any installed EMERGENCY STOP de-
vices that are not functional.
Procedure 1. Disconnect any peripheral connector X211c that may be present on the
connection panel of the robot controller.
2. Connect the service plug to interface X211c.
Warning!
All external safeguards normally connected to interface X211c are now de-
activated.
Connection panel
1 X211c interface
Procedure 1. Disconnect the service plug from the connection panel of the robot control-
ler.
2. Connect the normal peripheral connector X11 or X211c to the interface.
