4.2 Programming unit
The programming unit (Fig. 4.2) is connected to the control system by a 10 m cable
(extension cable 10 m, total 30 m, option). When not in use, it is placed on a consol
on the door of the control system.
The programming unit is provided with LED displays and membrane buttons with
tactile feedback. The enabling device is located under the emergency stop button.
The enabling device allows the operator to switch between MOTOR ON and
MOTOR OFF when the operating mode selector is in one of the MANUAL
positions.
All operator communications, except selection of the operational mode for the
robot, are available on the portable programming unit. The programming unit is
provided with the following facilities for this purpose:
• An illuminated two-row alphanumeric display for messages in plain language.
The system can display:
- texts in any of 10 languages: English, German, French, Dutch, Italian,
Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese(Katakana) Finnish and Swedish;
- numerical values in metric or imperial.
• Five multi-function buttons below the panel.
The text on the lower row of the display defines the use of the multi-function buttons.
• Six to eight menus for most of the system functions.
Each menu contains a particular type of function, e.g. program editing.
• Joystick
The robot and the external axis are positioned using the joystick, together
with the safety pad and the switches in the upper right-hand corner.
