5.9.2 Battery shutdown service routine
When to use this service routine
For SMB units with 2-pole battery contact, it is possible to shut down the battery
backup of the serial measurement board to save battery power during transportation
or storage. This is the Bat_shutdown service routine.
For SMB units with 3-pole contact, this function shall not be used since the power
consumption is so low that it is not needed.
Bat_shutdown
When the system is powered on again, the function is reset. The revolution counters
will be lost and need an update but the calibration values will remain.
The consumption in ordinary shutdowns is then approximately 1 mA. When using
sleep mode the consumption is reduced to 0.3 mA. When the battery is nearly
discharged, with less then 3 Ah left, an alert is given on the FlexPendant and the
battery should be replaced.
Tip
Before starting the service routine Bat_shutdown, run the robot to its calibration
position. This will make it easier to recover after the sleep mode.
