5.6 Commissioning the System
Turning on the robot system for the first time is known as “commissioning the system.”
Follow the steps in this section to safely bring up your robot system. The steps include:
• Verifying installation, to confirm all tasks have been performed correctly
• Starting up the system by turning on power for the first time
• Verifying all E-Stops in the system function correctly
• Move each axis of the robot with the pendant to confirm it moves in the proper
directions
Verifying Installation
Verifying that the system is correctly installed and that all safety equipment is working
correctly is an important process. Before using the robot, make the following checks to
ensure that the robot and controller have been properly installed.
Mechanical Checks
• Verify that the robot is mounted level and that all fasteners are properly installed
and tightened.
• Verify that any end-of-arm tooling is properly installed.
• Verify that all other peripheral equipment is properly installed and in a state
where it is safe to turn on power to the robot system.
System Cable Checks
Verify the following connections:
• Connect the Front Panel to the SmartController.
• Connect the pendant to the SmartController, via the pendant adapter cable.
• Connect user-supplied 24 VDC power to the controller.
• Install a user-supplied ground wire between the SmartController and ground.
• Install one end of the IEEE 1394 cable into the SmartServo port 1.1 connector on the
SmartController, and install the other end into the SmartServo port 1 connector on
the robot interface panel.
• Install the XSYS cable between the robot interface panel XSLV safety interlock
connector and XSYS connector on the SmartController, and tighten the latching
screws.
• Connect user-supplied 24 VDC power to the robot 24 VDC connector.
• Connect user-supplied 200/240 VAC power to the robot 200/240 VAC connector.
DANGER: After installing the robot, you must test it before
you use it for the first time. Failure to do this could cause
death or serious injury or equipment damage.
