Safety Computer-Controlled Robots Omron Adept robots are computer controlled, and the program that is running the robot may cause it to move at times or along paths you may not anticipate. Your system should be equipped with indicator lights that tell operators when the system is active. The Front Panel (FP) provides these lights. When the White HIGH POWER enable light on the FP or T20 Pendant is illuminated, do not enter the workcell because the robot may move unexpectedly. High Power Enable Light Manually Controlled Robots Omron Adept robots can also be controlled manually when the white HIGH POWER enable light on the front of the controller is illuminated.
When this light is lit, robot motion can be initiated from the terminal or the pendant (see the T20 Pendant User's Guide for more information). Before you enter the workspace, turn the keyswitch to manual mode and take the key (or the T20 pendant) with you. This will prevent anyone else from initiating unexpected robot motions from the terminal keyboard. Other Computer-Controlled Devices In addition, these systems can be programmed to control equipment or devices other than the robot. As with the robot, the program controlling these devices may cause them to operate at times not anticipated by personnel. Make sure that safeguards are in place to prevent personnel from entering the workcell.
