3. The calibration sequence runs, and the RUN/HOLD indicator is lit for 1-2

seconds. The indicator bar turns off when calibration is complete.

Special Calibration Process

If you have to calibrate a robot, but you need to move the robot arm location first, you can
use this process. This could be required because there is an obstacle in the workcell that
might affect the calibration, or the robot was left in a condition where a joint was out of
range.

1. Verify that robot power is on.

2. Press the Mode button. The pendant goes directly into Joint mode. There are no

other Pendant Control modes available.

3. Move the robot with any of the Joint control buttons, as needed.

4. Press the COMP/PWR button or the Power On button (do not press the Mode

button) to return to COMP mode.

5. You can now proceed to calibrate by following the process described in the

previous section.

Function Descriptions

Predefined Function Buttons

The predefined function buttons include EDIT, DISP (display), CLR ERR (clear error),
CMD (command), and PROG SET (program set). These buttons have specific,
system-wide functions assigned to them. Use the function-select button to the left of the
function to select it.

NOTE: The PROG SET button is a touchscreen button.

Programmable Function Buttons

The programmable function buttons are F1, F2, and DEV/F3. They are used in custom
application programs. Their functions will vary based on the program being run. See the
documentation for the custom application program for details on these buttons.

When the system contains more than one robot, the DEV/F3 button selects which robot is
active. See

Section 4.15 on page 37

for more details.

Soft Buttons

The soft buttons have different functions depending on the application program being
run, or the selection made from the predefined function buttons. Whenever a soft button
is active, its function is shown on the bottom line of the pendant display. Because these
buttons do not have fixed labels (the labels are defined by the program using the buttons),
they are referred to as soft buttons.
