4.5 How to release the brake in an emergency
The following describes how to release the brake using the emergency power supply in an emergency.
Using an emergency power supply system separated from the primary power supply of the robot prevents
the robot from moving accidentally during the brake release operation, which contributes to enhancing
customer safety.
An emergency here means an emergency stop of robot operation, which requires the brake release
operation to set the robot in an evacuation posture temporarily.
[Note] Do not connect an emergency power supply to multiple robots and release their brakes at the same time.
1) Connect the teaching pendant to the robot controller.
2) Connect the 24V DC power supply to EXT1 of the controller as shown in the figure below.
To prevent accidental power supply from the primary power supply of the robot, prepare an
emergency power supply system separated from the primary power supply of the robot to supply AC
power to the 24V DC power supply.
3) When the 24V DC power supply is turned on, the controller starts and then errors (H0712, H0090,
H0212) will occur.
4) Use the teaching pendant or RT VisualBox to release the brakes.
For the brake release operation using the teaching pendant, refer to "Explanation of operation methods"
in the separate volume, "Instruction Manual/Detailed Explanations of Functions and Operations".
For further information on releasing the brakes using RT VisualBox, refer to the "Maintenance" section in
the RT VisualBox Instruction Manual.
