4.3 Turning Power ON and OFF 4.3 Turning Power ON and OFF This section discusses how to turn the power on and off in both auto and manual modes, as well as after an E-Stop is pressed. NOTE: When power is disabled, the pendant automatically changes to COMP mode, and cannot change out of COMP mode. The Power button is functional even when the screen saver is on. Pressing any other button only clears the screen saver. Turning Robot Power ON The Robot Power light uses the same blinking pattern as the Front Panel:
Fast blink when the enable switch is released in manual mode; slow blink when the “Power button must be pushed after an ENABLE POWER command” feature is enabled in the controller con- figuration. In Auto Mode 1. Make sure the Auto/Manual mode key switch on the Front Panel is set to Auto mode. 2. Press and release the Robot Power button on the pendant. After a few seconds, high power to the robot turns on, and the Robot Power button on the pendant lights. In Manual Mode NOTE: When enabling power in manual mode, the pendant will display a noti- fication screen that requests that user press and hold the enable switch. For details on the enable switch location, see Enable Switch on page 17. 1.
Make sure that the Auto/Manual key switch on the Front Panel is set to Manual mode. If any errors occur, the ERR LED lights. Press OK or Cancel to clear errors. 2. Press and release the Robot Power button on the pendant. 3. Press the pendant enable switch to the middle position. After a few seconds, high power to the robot turns on, and the Robot Power button on the pendant lights. After an E-Stop To turn ON high power after pressing the pendant emergency stop (E-Stop) button, perform the following procedure: 1. Twist the E-Stop button to the right (clockwise). The button is spring-loaded and will return to its normal position. If any errors occur, the ERR LED lights.
Press OK or Cancel to clear errors. 2. Press the pendant enable switch (to its Enable position) to turn ON high power. After Enable Switch Is Released When the system is set to Manual mode and you release the enable switch (or select the "panic" position), the system turns off in a controlled manner. This puts the system in a dif- ferent state than when the E-Stop button is pressed. T20 Pendant User's Guide, 10433-000 Rev. E Page 19 of 50
