position data when the manipulator’s home position data disappear.
(Optional function)
This function only applies to the manipulator which was ordered to be
equipped with the zeroing function and shipped.
1.1
Outline
The DX100 stores the manipulator home position based on the pulse
value of each axis encoder. Since the home position is already set and
registered before shipment, zeroing operation does not need to be
performed at the normal operation. However, zeroing operation needs to
be performed to restore the home position since the home position data
disappear when you perform the following operations, or the followings
occur.
• Replacement of Motors
• Replacement of Encoders
• Backup Battery Exhaustion in the Manipulator
NOTE
The home position data is stored by the backup battery. If
the battery is exhausted, the home position data disappear
again when turning OFF the DX100 power even when the
zeroing operation is performed.
Be sure to replace the battery periodically. For the battery
replacement, refer to “Maintenance and Inspection” of
“MOTOMAN-MH50 INSTRUCTIONS”.
NOTE
The home positioning cannot be performed accurately by
the zeroing operation if changing the combination of the
manipulator and the DX100.
