Bypassing the Safety Motor Enable Interlock Feature
Brooks Automation highly recommends using the Safety Interlock. However,
for those users who choose not to comply with these industry safety standards,
Brooks has provided an optional Motor Enable Interlock Bypass Jumper (see
Appendix B: Tooling on page 11-3
). Any of the following methods can be used
to bypass this feature:
NOTE:
Brooks Automation ships all Magnatran 7.1 robots with this bypass jumper
plugged into the MISC I/O port of the robot.
1.
Install the Brooks Automation supplied Motor Enable Interlock Bypass
Jumper into the MISC I/O port of the robot.
2.
If the Operational Interlocks will be used (see
), discard the Motor Enable Interlock Bypass Jumper.
To bypass the Motor Enable Interlock feature, modify the Operational
Interlock Cable so as to jumper pins # 23 and #24 of the MISC I/O port.
Retract Pin
The Retract Pin interlock may be factory taught to the MISC I/O at pin 35. See
Notes on RETRACT_PIN on page 6-26
.
