omron — AUTO.POWER.OFF system switch

AUTO.POWER.OFF system switch AUTO.POWER.OFF system switch Syntax AUTO.POWER.OFF Function Control whether or not eV+ disables high power when certain motion errors occur. Usage Considerations This switch has effect during automatic mode but not during manual mode. It is especially useful in reducing operator intervention during common nulling-timeout and envelope errors. Details Because the HIGH POWER ON/OFF high power on/off button cannot be used by itself to enable high power as in earlier versions of eV+, Omron Adept has sought to reduce the number of instances that high power is disabled during normal program execution.

Making this improvement allows programs to continue to recover automatically from errors without manual intervention, that is, without requiring you to press the HIGH POWER ON/OFF button. This system switch cancels the effect of this change. By default this switch is disabled. Enabling it restores functionality as it was in eV+ version 11.x and earlier. Omron Adept reviewed all automatic-mode errors that disabled high power in eV+ version 12.0 and determined which can be changed simply to decelerate the robot and generate an error without compromising the safe operation of the system.

Examples of particular importance are errors such as nulling-timeout and envelope errors that often occur during the normal operation of the system. In some cases, Omron Adept has modified internal software to ensure the continued safe operation of your system. The setting of this switch has no effect during manual mode. If this switch is enabled, eV+ disables high power for all motion related errors including nulling-timeout and soft envelope errors. Example The following program segment instructs eV+ to disable high power when any motion error occurs:
