8.1.1 E-stop configuration
By default the Apex system is configured for use with a Mentor safety master and the
‘APEX’ icon will be shown on this screen:
Touching this icon enables ‘EVO V2’ e-stop compatibility mode. The APEX icon
will change to EVO:
Additionally the Alarms screen will show
‘EVO v2 e-stop ENABLED’
under
Status and the
‘EVO’ LED above the Ethernet IN connection will be illuminated.
Note!
If EVO mode is set, the setting is persistent and must be reset using this screen.
Warning!
In ‘EVO’ mode the e-stop button is a
LOCAL
function and will
not
affect other
apexDRIVE units on the same network. In ‘Apex’ mode e-stop is managed by the Mentor
safety master and e-stop may be configured to be global or grouped as required.
