Chapter 4: System Operation
Enabling High Power
After you have started Adept ACE and connected to the controller, enable high power to the
robot motors.
Using Adept ACE to Enable High Power
1. From the Adept ACE main menu, click the Enable High Power icon ( ).
2. Press and release the blinking High Power button on the Front Panel within 10 seconds.
The Front Panel is shown in Figure 4-3. (If the button stops blinking, you must Enable
Power again.)
NOTE: The use of the blinking High Power button can be configured (or eliminated)
in software. Your system may not require this step.
This step turns on high power to the robot motors and calibrates the robot.
l
The Robot Status LED glows amber.
l The code on the Robot Diagnostic Panel displays ON (see Figure 4-2).
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
for each.
Verify Robot Motions
Use the pendant (if purchased) to verify that the robot moves correctly. Refer to your Adept
pendant user's guide
for complete instructions on using the pendant.
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 .
4.7 Learning to Program the Robot
To learn how to use and program the robot, see the Adept ACE User’s Guide , which provides
information on robot configuration, control and programming through the Adept ACE
software “point and click” user interface.
For V+/eV+ programming information, refer to the V+/eV+ user and reference guides in the
Adept Document Library (ADL) on the Adept website. For more details on the ADL, see Adept
