Disconnect Devices and Interlocks
Disconnect Devices
The facility is responsible for the robot’s main disconnect device ensuring it complies
with the correct electric codes.
Personnel servicing this equipment are responsible for the status of the robot’s main
disconnect device as specified on the facilities’ lockout/tagout procedure.
Lockout/Tagout
The MagnaTran 7 utilizes an electrical power supply. Use of lockout/tagout
procedures for the power supply when servicing the MagnaTran 7 is recom-
mended by Brooks to ensure the safety of personnel servicing this robot.
Interlocks
WARNING
The MagnaTran 7 does not provide any personal safety or obstruction
interlocks as a stand-alone unit.
However, safety interlocking capabilities exist for user safety. See
for instructions on connecting the robot motion emergency off safety inter-
lock.
Operational interlocking capabilities exist through the discrete I/O. The flexibility of
the interlocks is left up to the user to set up and manage. See
in Chapter 6 for instructions on setting up the interlocks. Also see the
Brooks Automation Marathon Express™ Cluster Tool Integration Platform User’s
Manual for additional interlocks if purchased with the Brooks System of components.
