Chapter 5: System Operation
3. Manual/Automatic Mode Switch
Switches between Manual and Automatic mode. In Automatic mode, executing
programs control the robot, and the robot can run at full speed. In Manual mode, the
system limits robot speed and torque so that an operator can safely work in the cell.
Manual mode initiates software restrictions on robot speed, commanding no more than
250 mm/sec.
4. High Power On/Off Switch and Lamp
Controls high power, which is the flow of current to the robot motors. Enabling high
power is a two-step process. An “Enable Power” request must be sent from the user-
supplied PC, an executing program, or the optional pendant. Once this request has been
made and the High Power On/Off lamp/button is blinking, the operator must press and
release this button, and high power will be enabled.
NOTE: The use of the blinking High Power button can be configured (or
eliminated) in software. Your system may not require this step.
NOTE: If enabled, the Front Panel button must be pressed while blinking
(default time-out is 10 seconds). If the button stops blinking, you must enable
power again.
5. Emergency Stop Switch
The E-Stop is a dual-channel, passive E-Stop that supports Category 3 CE safety
requirements. Pressing this button turns off high power to the robot motors.
NOTE: The Front Panel must be installed to be able to Enable Power to the robot. To
operate without a Front Panel, the user must supply the equivalent circuits.
5.4 Initial Power-up of the System
The first time you power-up the system, you must follow the steps in this section to safely
bring up your robot system. The tasks include:
l
Verifying installation, to confirm all tasks have been performed correctly
l Starting up the system by turning on power for the first time
l Verifying all E-Stops in the system function correctly
l Moving each axis of the robot (with the pendant or ACE software Jog Control) to
confirm each moves in the proper directions
Verifying Installation
Verifying that the system is correctly installed and that all safety equipment is working
correctly is an important process. Before using the robot, make the following checks to ensure
that the robot and controller have been properly installed.
DANGER: After installing the robot, you must test it
before you use it for the first time. Failure to do this could
cause death, or serious injury or equipment damage.
