UL 62368 ICT Hardware Control in Robotic Motion Systems

The testing of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) hardware control within robotic motion systems is a critical process that ensures the safety, reliability, and compliance with international standards. This service focuses on the UL 62368 standard which addresses hazards associated with electrical, electronic, and related technologies in information technology equipment.

Robotic motion systems are intricate assemblies of hardware and software designed to perform specific tasks with precision and efficiency. They are integral parts of various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, and entertainment. The control system within these robots plays a pivotal role in ensuring that the robot executes its functions accurately while minimizing risks associated with human interaction.

UL 62368 provides comprehensive guidelines to mitigate hazards like electrical shock, fire risk, and mechanical injury. For ICT hardware controls used in robotic motion systems, this standard ensures that the control circuits are robust enough to handle the complex demands of these systems without compromising safety or performance. The test parameters for this service include voltage withstand tests, insulation resistance testing, power dissipation checks, and short-circuit current evaluation.

During specimen preparation, our laboratory ensures that each robotic motion system is thoroughly analyzed to identify critical control circuits. This involves mapping out the circuitry, identifying key components, and understanding how they interact with the overall system. Once the test setup is complete, we apply specified voltages and currents as per UL 62368 guidelines to assess the integrity of the control circuits under various stress conditions.

The instrumentation used in this testing includes high-precision multimeters, oscilloscopes, and other specialized equipment capable of measuring minute changes in electrical signals. Our team meticulously records all data points during each test run, ensuring that every aspect of the ICT hardware is scrutinized for compliance with UL 62368.

Upon completion of testing, detailed reports are generated outlining findings and recommendations. These reports serve as valuable tools for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams to make informed decisions about product design improvements or regulatory compliance strategies.

In addition to UL 62368 requirements, we also adhere to other relevant standards such as IEC 61508 for functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic control systems in the field of machinery and IEC 60730 for performance characteristics and safety tests of time-rated relays.

Robotic motion systems are evolving rapidly, with advancements in AI and machine learning driving new capabilities. By ensuring adherence to UL 62368 through rigorous testing, we contribute significantly to maintaining high levels of safety across all applications involving ICT hardware controls.
