10-7 Duty (load factor) monitor

10-7-1 Measuring the duty (load factor)

NOTE

The duty monitor function can be used when the controller version is 18.50 or later and the TPB version is 12.60 or
later.

1) Press

(MON) on the TPB initial screen

while moving the robot with a point move-
ment command (ABS-PT, INC-PT) or a
program start command (AUTO-R, STEP-R)
via the I/O connector.

3) Press

(RUN) to start measuring the

operation duty.

4) Press

(STOP) to stop measuring the

operation duty.

5) Next, press

(RSLT) to display the

measurement result on the TPB screen.

6) The operation duty value appears as a percent

on the TPB screen.

NOTE

The operation duty can also be monitored while the program is being executed with a program command. For more
information, see "10-7 Duty (load factor) monitor". The method for displaying the measurement result is the same
as described above.
