This step turns on high power to the robot motors and calibrates the robot.
• The amplifier status LED blinks green rapidly
(a slow green blink has a different meaning).
In addition, for Adept IP-65 Viper robots, the lamps on the robot glow solid
amber.
• The status panel on the robot or amplifier chassis displays ON.
Verifying E-Stop Functions
Verify that all E-Stop devices are functional (pendant, Front Panel, and user-supplied).
Test each mushroom button, safety gate, light curtain, etc., by enabling high power and
then opening the safety device. The High Power push button/light on the Front Panel
should go out.
Verifying Robot Motions
Use the pendant to test the motion of each axis on the robot to confirm it moves in the
proper directions. Refer to the
Adept SmartController User’s Guide and the T2 Pendant
User’s Guide for complete instructions on using the pendant.
NOTE: If the optional pendant is not installed in the system, you can
move the robot using the Robot Jog Control in the Adept ACE software.
For details, see the Adept ACE User's Guide.
