Chapter 4: Operation 4. High Power On/Off Switch & 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 ter- minal, an executing program, or a pendant. Once this request has been made, the button light blinks, and the operator must press the button for high power to be applied. The default timeout for the button is 10 seconds. 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 PL-d per EN ISO 13849 safety requirements. It maintains motor power for a fixed time after the E-Stop is activated. This feature allows the motors to decelerate under servo control to a stop. This can aid in eliminating coasting or overshooting on low friction mechanisms. It can also aid in the reduction of wear on highly-geared, high-inertia mechanisms, while maintaining safety compliance per all standards. 4.3 Installing the ACE Software WARNING: Make sure that all cables are installed correctly and fully inserted and screwed down before applying power to the sys- tem.
Failure to do this could cause unexpected robot motion. Also, a connector could be pulled out or dislodged unexpectedly. You install ACE software from the software disk. ACE needs Microsoft .NET Framework. The ACE Setup Wizard scans your PC for .NET, and installs it automatically, if needed. 1. Insert the disk into the disk drive of your PC. If Autoplay is enabled, the software disk menu is displayed. If Autoplay is disabled, you will need to manually start the disk.
