9 Operating the intelligent power supply
Mecademic's intelligent power supply is shown in Fig. 16. As already explained, release all
emergency stops and the externalprotective stop 2, and then press the RESET button to
provide power to the robot. Once the robot is activated and homed, pressing the E-STOP
button at any time instantly sends a signal to the robot to rapidly decelerate and come to
a complete stop. The power supply then waits for a signal from the robot indicating that
the robot is completely stopped, and as soon as that signal is received, but no later than in
500 ms, the power supply completely cuts power to the robot. Without power, the robot's
brakes are instantly applied to joints 1, 2 and 3.
To restart the robot, you must release the emergency stops or the external protective
stop 2, and press the RESET button. Next, you need to connect to the robot via Ethernet
