Robot Safety System Solution – KUKA 00-117-344 KSD1-4800-117-344 | KSD1 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The KUKA Safety Board 00-117-344 (KSD1-4800-117-344 / 6FC5403-0AA10-0AA0 / 00-138-379) is a critical safety control module deployed across high-demand industrial automation environments. Typical application sites include:
- Automotive Body-in-White (BIW) Lines — Integrated into KUKA KR C4 robot controllers managing spot-welding and press-tending cells where SIL 2 / PLd safety monitoring is mandatory.
- Collaborative Robot Safety Zones — Enforces safe-speed, safe-stop (SS1/SS2), and safe-torque-off (STO) functions in human-robot collaboration (HRC) workcells.
- Palletizing & Material Handling — Monitors axis positions and velocity limits in high-throughput logistics and end-of-line packaging systems.
- Foundry & Heavy Press Automation — Provides redundant safety monitoring in harsh environments with high vibration and thermal cycling.
- Aerospace Component Machining — Used in precision multi-axis robot cells requiring certified functional safety per ISO 10218-1.
- Electronics Assembly & Semiconductor Fabs — Deployed in cleanroom-compatible KUKA robot systems requiring low-EMI safety signaling.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Certified Functional Safety — Factory-validated to SIL 2 / PLd, eliminating the need for third-party safety re-certification after replacement.
- Drop-in Compatibility — Direct OEM replacement for KR C4 platforms; no firmware re-flashing or hardware modification required in most configurations.
- Multi-SKU Cross-Reference — Sourced under four interchangeable part numbers (00-117-344, KSD1-4800-117-344, 6FC5403-0AA10-0AA0, 00-138-379), simplifying procurement across global MRO databases.
- Minimizes Downtime — A failed safety board triggers an immediate E-Stop lockout. Having a verified spare on-hand reduces unplanned downtime from days to minutes.
- Broad Robot Compatibility — Supports the full KR C4 family including KR AGILUS, KR CYBERTECH, KR QUANTEC, and KR FORTEC series robots.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is this Safety Board compatible with KUKA KR C4 compact controllers?
A: Yes. The KSD1 Safety Board (00-117-344) is compatible with the full KR C4 family including the standard, compact, and smallsize variants, provided the KSS version is 8.2 or higher.
Q: Can I replace this board without re-certifying the robot cell?
A: In most jurisdictions, replacing a like-for-like OEM safety board does not require full re-certification, but a functional safety validation test (proof test) is recommended per IEC 62061 §7.4. Consult your local safety integrator.
Q: What error codes indicate a failed Safety Board?
A: Common KUKA fault codes associated with KSD1 failure include KSS 00500, KSS 00501, KSS 01280, and safety-channel mismatch errors. A persistent E-Stop with no external trigger is a primary symptom.
Q: Do you offer a warranty?
A: Yes. Konmask.com provides a 90-day functional warranty on all tested units. Extended warranty options are available — contact us for details.
Q: What is the difference between part numbers 00-117-344 and 00-138-379?
A: These are cross-reference numbers used across different KUKA documentation revisions and regional catalogs. They refer to the same physical KSD1 Safety Board assembly. The 6FC5403-0AA10-0AA0 number is the Siemens OEM cross-reference used in some KUKA-Siemens co-branded documentation.
