STEP #12 (ROBOT I/O’S)
This step tests the output connections for Port A and reads the input for Port F.
Use the number keys, 0 to 7, to toggle the eight output bits. The first five bits should
toggle, indicating the connections are working. The last three bits do not toggle.
STEP #13 (SCANNING)
This test is only for robots that have a laser scanner without speed interlock mapping.
To verify the connection and functionality of the Laser Scanner, turn on the laser by
pressing the number 2 key, which corresponds to the laser. The OUT line displays the
status for Output port A, bit 2. The AT line displays the Z-axis position.
Place an object two inches in front of scanner. As you move the object, the display
indicates:
•
Hi
∧
Lo Object not sensed
•
Lo
∧
Hi Object is sensed
DANGER
When running this test, do not look at the laser beam. The laser beam
radiates on invisible infra-red spectrum.
