After checking AIB/eAIB cables, restore power to the robot and reboot the controller.

l

Check the Status Display fault code. This should be either OK or ON. See Table 5-1 and
Table 5-2.

9.9 Commissioning a System with an eAIB

Commissioning a system involves synchronizing the robot with the eAIB.

NOTE: This section only applies to robots that have an eAIB amplifier. A robot
with an AIB amplifier does not need the Adept ACE commissioning.

For a new system with an eAIB, the robot and the eAIB will have been commissioned at the
factory and should not need commissioning.

If you are replacing an AIB with an eAIB, you will need to commission the system.

In rare cases with a new robot with an eAIB, you may need to commission the system.

l

If the system will not power up, and the robot status display shows SE, you need to
commission the system.

l

If the system will not power up in Manual mode, and the robot status display shows
TR, you need to commission the system.

Safety Commissioning Utilities

The Adept eAIB adds two functions that implement safety in hardware:

l

E-Stop

This serves as a backup to the standard software E-Stop process. The system will
always try to stop the robot using the software E-Stop first. The hardware E-Stop will
take over in the event of a failure of the software E-Stop.

l

Teach Restrict

This limits the maximum speed of the robot when it is operated in Manual mode. As
with the E-Stop, this is a hardware backup to software limits on robot speed. If the
software fails to limit the robot speed during manual operation, the hardware Teach
Restrict will disable power to the system.

These two functions are only in the eAIB amplifiers. They were not implemented in hardware
in the AIB amplifiers, so these utilities do not apply to those amplifiers.

These two functions are supported by four wizards:

l

E-Stop Configuration

This sets the E-Stop hardware delay to factory specifications.

l

E-Stop Verification

This verifies that the hardware E-Stop is functioning correctly.

l

Teach Restrict Configuration

This sets the hardware Teach Restrict maximum speed to factory specifications.
