(3) Enabling/disabling the pause signal (*STP)

The pause signal uses the contact B logic to provide a failsafe function.
Therefore, this signal must remain ON in normal conditions of use.
(The pause signal must also remain ON when issuing movement commands from the teaching
pendant or PC.)
Since there are applications where this signal is not used, a parameter is provided to disable the
pause signal so it doesn’t have to be turned ON.
To select a desired setting, set “0” or “1” in user parameter No. 15 (Pause input disable selection).

Setting

Enable (use) the signal

0

Disable (do not use) the signal

1

If the pause input is not used, set “1: [Disable]” in this parameter and the signal need not be turned
ON.
The factory setting for this parameter is “0: [Enable].”

2. Recommendation for Backing up Latest Data

This controller uses nonvolatile memory to store the position table and parameters. Normally the
memory will retain the stored data even after the power is disconnected. However, the data may be
lost if the nonvolatile memory becomes faulty.
(We strongly recommend that the latest position table and parameter data be backed up so that the
data can be restored quickly in the event of power failure, or when the controller must be replaced for
a given reason.)
The data can be backed up using the following methods:
(1) Save to a CD or FD from the PC software.
(2) Hand write the position table and parameter table on paper.

3. Compatibility of Teaching Pendant

The existing teaching pendants of <RCA-T> and <RCA-E> types can be used with the RCP2
controller, but your RCA-T/RCA-E teaching pendant will require some modification.
If you are using a teaching pendant of either type, please send it to IAI. We will perform the
necessary modification and return it to you as soon as possible.
Teaching pendants that have already been modified have a specific code at the end of their serial
number. Please check the serial number of your teaching pendant to see if it requires modification.

Teaching pendant model

Code at the end of serial number
