Chapter 4: Operation 4.2 Front Panel The following figure shows a Front Panel. Figure 4-2. Front Panel Before running programs, either the optional Front Panel or user-supplied switches for High Power On/Off, MAN/AUTO, and E-Stop must be connected to the XFP connector on the SmartController EX motion controller. NOTE: Safety regulations dictate the sequence of events required for the user to enable high power. For instance, a user may be required to press the High Power On button on the Front Panel after pressing the COMP/PWR button on the pendant or issuing the eV+ Enable Power command. Users cannot jumper this button input and still enable power (see your robot manual for further details).
1. XFP connector Connects to the XFP connector on the controller. 2. System 5 V Power-On LED Indicates whether or not power is connected to the controller. 3. Manual/Automatic Mode Switch Switches between Manual and Automatic mode. In Automatic mode, executing pro- grams control the mechanism, and the mechanism can run at full speed. In Manual mode, the system limits mechanism speed and torque, to reduce the risk to an operator working in the cell. It is the user's responsibility to determine if this is allowed under local regulations. Manual mode initiates software restrictions on robot speed, commanding no more than 250 mm/sec as required by RIA and ISO standards.
