Abstract

It is not necessary to initialize the periphery equipment after recovery of the safety device. Further, the industrial robot system will never be deadlocked even when the input means and output means of safety devices of a plurality of robots are connected to each other. As a result, the industrial robot system will be improved in both maintenance and safety. The robot system includes a robot body, a plurality of safety devices to stop the operation of the robot body, connecting portions respectively disposed between the plurality of safety devices, and output means to transmit the output to external equipment. The safety devices are respectively connected in series to each other, and the output means is removably connected to the connecting portion. The connecting portion includes a plurality of connecting portions, and the output means is connected to at least one of the plurality of connecting portions. The robot body includes a plurality of robot bodies, and respective ones of the plurality of robot bodies are connected to the plurality of safety devices.
