Which statement is NOT true about FS100 interference zones as described?

• A. They can be set as CUBE zones or AXIS monitoring
• B. They are tied to SOUT outputs
• C. They are used to manage SHIFT instructions for palletizing
• D. They are monitored via Input/Output menu

Answer: (C)

FS100 interference zones are safety-related regions used to prevent collisions and unwanted interactions in a palletizing or robotic workspace. They can be defined as a CUBE zone, which is a three-dimensional box, or as AXIS monitoring, which watches movement along a specific axis. These zones are tied to an SOUT output so that if a zone is breached, the system can drive a safety output to stop or warn the equipment. You configure and monitor these zones through the controller’s Input/Output (I/O) monitoring interface, making it straightforward to set up and verify their behavior.

The statement about managing SHIFT instructions for palletizing isn’t aligned with how interference zones operate. SHIFT instructions pertain to adjusting or shifting palletizing coordinates or patterns, which is a planning/positioning function rather than a safety zoning function. Interference zones aren’t used to control SHIFT; they’re there to enforce safe zones and trigger safety outputs when limits are exceeded.
