Turning On the System
Adept Cobra i600/i800 Robot User’s Guide, Rev G 55
Pins 6, 14 and 5, 13 of the XFP connector provide this remote capability. Pins 5, 13 provide
power for the lamp, +5 VDC, and ground, respectively. Pins 6, 14 are inputs for
voltage-free N/O contacts from a customer-supplied momentary push button switch.
High Power On/Off Lamp
The Front Panel High Power On/Off Lamp (P/N 27400-29006) will cause a MicroV + error
if the lamp burns out. This error prevents High Power from being turned on. This safety
feature prevents a user from not realizing that High Power is enabled because the High
Power indicator is burned out. See the Maintenance chapter in the
Adept SmartController
User’s Guide for information on changing this lamp.
Remote Front Panel or User-Supplied Replacement
Users can mount the Front Panel remotely by using an extension cable or by wiring a
user-supplied Front Panel (control panel) to the robot using the 15-pin XFP connector. The
Front Panel contains no active components, only switches and lights. Users should be able
to adapt the Front Panel’s functionality into their own Front Panel design. To
automatically control the Front Panel’s signals, use relay contacts instead of switches. See
Figure 4-9 on page 53 for a schematic drawing of the Front Panel and Table 4-10 on
page 50 for a summary of connections and pin numbers.
4.8 Turning On the System
Turning on the robot system for the first time is known as “commissioning the system.”
You must follow the steps in this section to safely bring up your robot system. The steps
include:
• Verifying installation, to confirm all tasks have been performed correctly
• Starting up the system by turning on power for the first time
• Verifying all E-Stops in the system function correctly
• Moving each axis of the robot to confirm it moves in the proper directions
Verifying Installation
Verifying that the system is correctly installed and that all safety equipment is working
correctly is an important process. Before using the robot, make the following checks to
ensure that the robot system has been properly installed.
WARNING: To fulfill the “Single Point of Control”
requirement, do not place the Manual/Automatic and
High Power On controls in multiple locations. To put the
robot into Manual mode, the operator should remove the
key for safety purposes. The system should not be wired
so that a PLC or another operator can put the system back
into Automatic mode.
