8.9 Commissioning a System with an eMB-40R
l
If the system will not power up, and the robot status display shows SE, you need to
commission the system.
l
If the system will not power up in Manual mode, and the robot status display shows
TR, you need to commission the system.
Safety Commissioning Utilities
The eMB-40R adds two functions that implement safety in hardware:
l
E-Stop
This serves as a backup to the standard software E-Stop process. The system will
always try to stop the robot using the software E-Stop first. The hardware E-Stop will
take over in the event of a failure of the software E-Stop.
l
Teach Restrict
This limits the maximum speed of the robot when it is operated in Manual mode. As
with the E-Stop, this is a hardware backup to software limits on robot speed. If the soft-
ware fails to limit the robot speed during manual operation, the hardware Teach
Restrict will disable power to the system.
These two functions are only in the eMB-40R amplifiers. They were not implemented in hard-
ware in the MB-40R amplifiers, so these utilities do not apply to those amplifiers.
These two functions are supported by four wizards:
l
E-Stop Configuration
This sets the E-Stop hardware delay to factory specifications.
l
E-Stop Verification
This verifies that the hardware E-Stop is functioning correctly.
l
Teach Restrict Configuration
This sets the hardware Teach Restrict maximum speed to factory specifications.
l
Teach Restrict Verification
This verifies that the hardware Teach Restrict is functioning correctly.
The initial utility screen will tell you which functions are commissioned. If a function is not
commissioned, its verification wizard will not be displayed. Any displayed verification wizard
can be run at any time, to ensure that its function is working properly.
Prerequisites
l
The robot must be set up and functional.
l
The robot must use eMB-40R amplifiers.
The MB-40R amplifiers do not support these hardware functions, and these wizards
will not run.
l
ACE software must be installed.
l
The Front Panel keyswitch must be in Auto mode.
