Chapter 4: System Operation
power is a two-step process. An “Enable Power” request must be sent from the user-
supplied PC, an executing program, or the Adept pendant. Once this request has been
made and the High Power On/Off lamp/button is blinking, the operator must press and
release this button, and high power will be enabled.
NOTE: The use of the blinking High Power button can be configured (or
eliminated) in software. Your system may not require this step.
NOTE: If enabled, the Front Panel button must be pressed while blinking
(default time-out is 10 seconds). If the button stops blinking, you must enable
power again.
5. Emergency Stop Switch
The E-Stop is a dual-channel, passive E-Stop that supports Category 3 CE safety
requirements. Pressing this button turns off high power to the robot motors.
NOTE: The Front Panel must be installed to be able to Enable Power to the robot. To
operate without a Front Panel, the user must supply the equivalent circuits.
