2.2.5 Changing Operation Mode
You can change from AUTO operation mode or PROGRAM operation mode to TEACH
mode by setting the mode selector key switch on the Teach Pendant to the TEACH
position.
When the mode selector key switch is changed back to AUTO, the operation mode is
returned to previous operation mode (AUTO or PROGRAM).
The AUTO operation mode can be changed to PROGRAM mode during the EPSON RC+
5.0 startup sequence. A password can be used to allow only certain personnel to change
the startup operation mode.
When EPSON RC+ 5.0 starts in AUTO operation mode, the AUTO operation mode cannot
be changed to PROGRAM operation mode after the system has started. To change the
operation mode, restart the system and log into PROGRAM mode, then set the start mode
again and restart EPSON RC+ 5.0.
For more information, refer to the Operation chapter.
2.2.6 Emergency Stop
The controller is equipped with an emergency stop input terminal. If the normally closed
emergency stop circuit is broken, the power supplied to all motors will be shut off (and
enter servo-free status) and the robot will be stopped by dynamic braking.
CAUTION
■
The path that the robot will follow from the time the emergency stop switch is
pressed until the device stops, as well as the stop position itself, cannot be
positively determined. In many cases, the stop position will not exceed the
target position for the operation prior the emergency stop. Depending on the
robot’s loading condition and operation speed, overruns are inevitable. Taking
this into consideration, be sure the layout for the peripheral equipment includes
extra space.
For detailed wiring instructions, refer to the section EMERGENCY in the controller manual.
2.2.7 Teach Control Device
Operators can use the TP1 teach pendant to operate the robot in the TEACH operation
mode.
Refer to the TP1 manual for operation instructions.
