Chapter 5: System Operation 250 mm/sec. There is no high speed mode in manual mode. WARNING: If an operator is going to be in the work cell in manual mode, it is strongly recommended that the operator carry an enabling device. The Enable button on the manual control pendant is such a device. WARNING: Whenever possible, manual mode operations should be performed with all personnel outside the workspace. 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-sup- plied 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 elim- inated) 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. WARNING: Disabling the High Power button violates IEC 60204-1. It is strongly recommended that you not alter the use of the High Power button. 5.
Emergency Stop Switch The E-Stop is a dual-channel, passive E-Stop that supports Category 3 CE safety require- ments. Pressing this button turns off high power to the robot motors. NOTE: A Front Panel or equivalent circuits must be installed to be able to Enable Power to the robot. To operate without the standard Front Panel, the user must sup- ply the equivalent circuits. 5.5 Connecting Digital I/O to the System You can connect digital I/O to the system in several different ways.
