Chapter 1: Introduction

SmartController EX

The SmartController EX motion controller can coordinate up to 4 robots, increasing the number of robot joints to 16 from the eCobra’s 4. It increases the I/O available, raises the number of serial ports by 3, and provides for tracking up to 4 additional conveyors.
NOTE: Since the eAIB has only one RS-232 port, adding a SmartController EX to the RS-232 port renders the port unusable. If using eV+, "SERIAL:0" will access the eAIB's RS-232 port.
TheSmartController EX supports the DeviceNet option, and allows for the use of third-party vision systems. One RS-485 port is available.
The SmartController EX is covered in the SmartController EX User's Guide.

ePLC Connect Software

The ePLC Connect software allows programming and operation of an eCobra robot directly from a PLC, using the software as an interface between the PLC and the robot. Refer to ePLC Connect 3.0 Software User's Guide.

IO Blox

Up to 8 IO Blox units can be added to increase the available I/O ports by 8 inputs and 8 out­puts per unit. The IOBlox does not require a SmartController EX. Refer to the IO Blox User’s Guide.

SmartVision MX

The SmartVision MX is an industrial PC that provides vision-oriented connectivity, as well as extra I/O. It can drive up to 4 Gigabit and 4 USB 3.0 cameras. The Gigabit ports are PoE, so no extra power is needed to the cameras. Refer to the SmartVision MX User's Guide.

T20 Pendant

The T20 pendant provides manual control of an eCobra robot. This is generally used when teaching pick and place locations. Refer to the T20 Pendant User's Guide.
NOTE: Omron Adept Technologies, Inc. does not offer a cableless (wireless) pendant.

Intelligent Force Sensing

The Intelligent Force Sensing system is a hardware and software package that allows eCobra robots to react to sensed forces and moments at the tool flange, reducing force overshoot and stopping time when forces or moments exceed preset thresholds. Refer to the Intelligent Force Sensing System User's Guide.

ACE PackXpert Process Manager

PackXpert provides a point-and-click interface for configuring and programming the workcell. The PackXpert Process Manager is the recommended method for programming most applic­ations. Refer to the ACE User’s Guide.

3.3 Unpacking and Inspecting the Equipment
!
The robots must always be stored and shipped in an upright position in a clean, dry area that is free from condensation. Do not lay the crate on its side or any other non-upright position; this could damage the robot.
The eCobra 600 robot weighs 41 kg (90 lb), the eCobra 800 robot weighs 43 kg (95 lb), and the eCobra 800 Inverted weighs 51 kg (112 lb), all with no options installed.

3.3 Unpacking and Inspecting the Equipment

Before Unpacking

Carefully inspect all shipping crates for evidence of damage during transit. Pay special atten­tion to any tilt and shock indication labels on the exteriors of the containers. If any damage is indicated, request that the carrier’s agent be present at the time the container is unpacked.

Upon Unpacking

Before signing the carrier’s delivery sheet, please compare the actual items received (not just the packing slip) with your equipment purchase order and verify that all items are present and that the shipment is correct and free of visible damage.
l
If the items received do not match the packing slip, or are damaged, do not sign the receipt. Contact Omron Adept Technologies, Inc. as soon as possible.
l
If the items received do not match your order, please contact Omron Adept Tech­nologies, Inc. immediately.
Inspect each item for external damage as it is removed from its container. If any damage is evident, contact Omron Adept Technologies, Inc.. See How Can I Get Help? on page 16.
Retain all containers and packaging materials. These items may be necessary to settle claims or, at a later date, to relocate equipment.

3.4 Repacking for Relocation

If the robot or other equipment needs to be relocated, reverse the steps in the installation pro­cedures that follow. Reuse all original packing containers and materials and follow all safety notes used for installation. Improper packaging for shipment will void your warranty. Specify this to the carrier if the robot is to be shipped.
CAUTION: PROPERTYDAMAGERISK Before unbolting the robot from the mounting surface, fold the outer arm against the Joint 2 hardstops to help centralize the center of gravity. The robot must always be shipped in an upright orientation.

2 Place for forklift or pallet-jack here.
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYORPROPERTYDAMAGERISK Only qualified service personnel may install or service the robot system.

Mounting Surface

The upright eCobra robots are designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat, level surface. The mounting structure must be rigid enough to prevent vibration and flexing during robot oper­ation. We recommend a 25 mm (1 in.) thick steel plate mounted to a rigid tube frame. Excess­ive vibration or mounting flexure will degrade robot performance. The following figure shows the mounting hole pattern for the eCobra robots.
NOTE: On the under side of the base there is a hole and a slot that can be used as locating points for user-installed dowel pins in the mounting surface; see the following figure. Using locating pins will improve the ability to remove and rein­stall the robot in the same position.
Figure 3-2. Mounting Hole Pattern for Upright eCobra Robots (Units in mm)
28 eCobra User's Guide 14402-000 Rev. F

Mounting Procedure

!
!
1.
Using the dimensions shown in the previous figure, drill and tap the mounting surface for four M12 - 1.75 x 36 mm (or 7/16 - 14 UNC x 1.50 in.) machine bolts (mounting hard­ware is user-supplied).
2.
If you are using dowel pins for locating the robot, insert those in the mounting surface.
3.
While the robot is still bolted to the transportation pallet, connect a hydraulic lift to the eyebolt at the top of the inner link. See Figure 3-1.
4.
Remove the four bolts securing the robot base to the pallet.
Retain these bolts for possible later relocation of the equipment.
Chapter 3: Robot Installation
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYORPROPERTYDAMAGERISK Do not attempt to lift the robot at any points other than the eyebolt provided. Do not attempt to extend the inner or outer links of the robot until the robot has been secured in position. Failure to comply could res­ult in the robot falling and causing either personnel injury or equipment damage.
5.
Lift the robot and position it directly over the mounting surface.
6.
Slowly lower the robot while aligning the base and the tapped holes in the mounting surface.
NOTE: The base casting of the robot is aluminum and can easily be dented if bumped against a harder surface.
7.
Verify that the robot is mounted squarely (cannot rock back and forth) before tightening the mounting bolts.
8.
Install the user-supplied mounting bolts and washers. Tighten bolts to the torque spe­cified in the following table.
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYORPROPERTYDAMAGERISK The center of mass of the robot may cause the robot to fall over if the robot is not secured with the mounting bolts.
NOTE: Check the tightness of the mounting bolts one week after initial install­ation, and then recheck every 6 months. See Maintenance on page 99 for periodic maintenance.

3.7 Mounting an eCobra 800 Inverted Robot

Mounting Surface

The eCobra 800 Inverted robot is designed to be mounted in an inverted position. When design­ing the mounting structure, you must account for both load and stiffness. The mounting struc­ture must be rigid enough to prevent vibration and flexing during robot operation. Excessive vibration or mounting flexure will degrade robot performance. The mounting structure should be stiff enough so that the first vibration mode is greater than 70 Hz.
The following figure shows the mounting hole pattern.
Figure 3-3. Robot Mounting Dimensions for eCobra Inverted Robot (Units in mm)
NOTE: On the robot mounting surface, there is a hole and a slot that can be used as locating points for user-installed dowel pins in the mounting surface. Using locating pins can improve the ability to remove and reinstall the robot in the same position.

Mounting Procedure

l
Always use at least two people, and preferably three, to mount the robot.
l
The robot should be in the folded position when lifting. See the following figure.

WARNING: ELECTROCUTIONRISK AC power installation must be performed by a skilled and instructed person— refer to the Robot Safety Guide. During installation fail-safe lockout measures must be used to prevent, unauthorized third parties from turning on power. This is mandated by Clause 5.2.4 of the ISO 10218-1.
Failure to use appropriate power (less than or more than the rated voltage range of 200-240 VAC) can lead to malfunction or failures of the robot or haz­ardous situations.
Facility overvoltages Protection
The user must protect the robot from excessive overvoltages and voltage spikes. If the country of installation requires a CE-certified installation, or compliance with IEC1131-2, the following information may be helpful: IEC 1131-2 requires that the installation must ensure that CategoryII overvoltages (i.e., line spikes not directly due to lightning strikes) are not exceeded. Transient overvoltages at the point of connection to the power source shall be controlled not to exceed overvoltages CategoryII, i.e., not higher than the impulse voltage corresponding to the rated voltage for the basic insulation. The user-supplied equipment or transient suppressor shall be capable of absorbing the energy in the transient.

In the industrial environment, nonperiodic overvoltage peaks may appear on mains power supply lines as a result of power interruptions to high-energy equipment (such as a blown fuse on one branch in a 3-phase system). This will cause high current pulses at relatively low voltage levels. The user shall take the necessary steps to prevent damage to the robot system (such as by interposing a transformer). See IEC 1131-4 for additional information.

The following two parts of an eCobra robot are not grounded to protective earth: the Joint 3 quill and the tool flange. If hazardous voltages are present at any user-supplied robot-mounted equipment or tooling, you must install a ground connection from that equipment or tooling to the ground point on the robot base. Hazardous voltages can be considered anything in excess of 30 VAC (42.4 VAC peak) or 60VDC.
Also, for the grounding point on the tool flange, see Figure 8-6.
WARNING: ELECTROCUTIONRISK Failing to ground robot-mounted equipment or tooling that uses hazardous voltages could lead to injury or death of a person touching the end-effector when an electrical fault condition exists.

4.9 Installing User-Supplied Safety Equipment

The user is responsible for installing safety barriers to protect personnel from coming in con­tact with the robot unintentionally. Depending on the design of the workcell, safety gates, light curtains, and emergency stop devices can be used to create a safe environment. Read the Robot Safety Guide for a discussion of safety issues.
The user-supplied safety and power-control equipment connects to the system through the XUSR and XFP connectors on the eAIB XSYSTEM cable. The XUSR connector (25-pin) and XFP (15-pin) connector are both female D-sub connectors. Refer to the following table for the XUSR pin-out descriptions. See "Contacts Provided by the XFP Connector" for the XFP pin-out descrip­tions. See the figure E-Stop Circuit on XUSR and XFP Connectors on page 66 for the XUSR wir­ing diagram.

Emergency Stop Circuits

The eAIB XSYSTEM cable provides connections for Emergency Stop (E-Stop) circuits on the XUSR and XFP connectors. This gives the controller system the ability to duplicate E-Stop func­tionality from a remote location using voltage-free contacts. See Figure 4-14.
The XUSR connector provides external two-channel E-Stop input on pin pairs 1, 14 and 2, 15. The XFP connector provides two-channel E-Stop input on pin pairs 1, 9 and 2, 10.
NOTE: These pin pairs must be shorted if not used. Both channels must open independently if used. The controller will flag an error state if one channel is jumpered closed and the other channel is opened, although an Emergency Stop will still occur. It will also flag an error state if the independent channels are crossed, meaning one line from each channel is accidentally connected to the other channel.
68 eCobra User's Guide 14402-000 Rev. F
Chapter 4: System Installation
User E-Stop Indication Contacts - Remote Sensing of E-Stop
These contacts provide a method to indicate the status of the ESTOP chain, inclusive of the Front Panel Emergency Stop push-button, the pendant Emergency Stop push-button, and the User Emergency Stop Contacts.
NOTE: These contacts do not indicate the status of any connections below the User E-Stop contacts. Thus, they will NOT indicate the status of the Line E-Stop, MCP ENABLE, or the Muted Safety gate. If you have a specific need in this area, contact your local Omron support for information on alternate indicating modes.
Two pairs of pins on the XUSR connector (pins 7, 20 and 8, 21) provide voltage-free contacts, one for each channel, to indicate whether the E-Stop chain, as described above, on that channel is closed. Both switches are closed on each of the redundant circuits in normal operation (no E-Stop). The user may use these contacts to generate an E-Stop for other equipment in the work­cell. The load on the contacts must not exceed 40 VDC or 30VAC at a maximum of 1 A.
These voltage-free contacts are provided by a redundant, cyclically-checked, positive-drive, safety relay circuit for Category 3 PL-d per ISO 13849 operation (see Figure 4-14. and the table Contacts Provided by the XFP Connector on page 64 for the customer E-Stop circuitry).
Line E-Stop Input
The XUSR connector on the controller contains a two-channel Line E-Stop input for workcell, production line, or other equipment emergency-stop inputs. Generally, the customer E-Stop Indication contact outputs are used to generate an emergency stop in such external equipment. Thus, if one were to wire the same equipment’s outputs into the customer E-Stop input (that is, in series with the local robot’s E-Stop push-buttons), a lock-up situation could occur.
The Line E-Stop input comes into the circuit at a point where it cannot affect the customer E­Stop indication relays and will not cause such a lock-up situation. For any situation where two systems should be cross-coupled, for example, the customer E-Stop indication of one controller is to be connected to the input of another controller, the Line E-Stop input is the point to bring in the other controller’s output contacts. See the figure E-Stop Circuit on XUSR and XFP Con­nectors on page 66 for more information.
Do not use the Line E-Stop for such devices as local E-Stop push-buttons, since their status should be reported to the outside on the local user E-Stop indication output contact while the Line E-Stop inputs will not.
Muted Safety Gate E-Stop Circuitry
Two pairs of pins on the XUSR connector (pins 5, 18 and 6, 19) provide connections for a safety gate designed to yield an E-Stop allowing access to the workspace of the robot in Manual mode only, not in Automatic mode. It is up to the customer to determine if teaching the robot in Manual Mode, by a skilled programmer (See Qualification of Personnel in the Robot Safety Guide), wearing safety equipment and carrying a pendant, is allowable under local regulations. The E-Stop is said to be “muted” in Manual mode (for the customer E-Stop cir­cuitry, see the figures and tables at the beginning of this section).
The muted capability is useful for a situation where a shutdown must occur if the cell gate is opened in Automatic mode, but you need to open the gate in Manual mode. If the mute gate is opened in Automatic mode, the robot defaults to Manual mode operation when power is re­enabled. In muted mode, the gate can be left open for personnel to work in the robot cell. However, safety is maintained because of the speed restriction.

WARNING: PERSONALINJURYRISK If you want the cell gate to always cause a robot shutdown, wire the gate switch contacts in series with the user E-Stop inputs. Do not wire the gate switch into the muted safety gate inputs.

Remote Manual Mode

The Front Panel provides for a Manual Mode circuit. See Remote High Power On/Off Control on page 71 for further details about the customer Remote Manual Mode circuitry.
The Front Panel, or the user-supplied panel, must be incorporated into the robot workcell to provide a “Single Point of Control” (the pendant) when the controller is placed in Manual mode. Certain workcell devices, such as PLCs or conveyors, may need to be turned off when the operating mode switch is set to Manual mode. This is to ensure that the robot controller does not receive commands from devices other than from the pendant, the single point of con­trol.
If the user needs to control the Manual/Automatic mode selection from other control equip­ment, then a custom splitter cable or complete replacement of the Front Panel may be required. See Front Panel Schematic on page 68. In this situation, a pair of contacts should be wired in series with the Front Panel Manual/Automatic mode contacts. Thus, both the Front Panel and the customer contacts need to be closed to allow Automatic mode.
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYRISK Do not wire user-supplied Manual/Automatic contacts in parallel with the Front Panel switch contact. This would violate the “Single Point of Control” principle and might allow Automatic (high-speed) mode to be selected while an operator is in the cell.

User Manual/Auto Indication

Two pairs of pins on the XUSR connector (pins 9, 22 and 10, 23) provide a voltage-free contact to indicate whether the Front Panel and/or remote Manual/Automatic switches are closed. The user may use these contacts to control other mechanisms (for example, conveyor, linear modules, etc.) when Manual mode is selected. The load on the contacts should not exceed 40 VDC or 30 VAC at a maximum of 1 A.
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYRISK Return any suspended safeguards to full functionality prior to selecting Auto­matic Mode.

User High Power On Indication

In the optional SmartController EX, eV+ controls a normally-open relay contact on the XDIO connector (pins 45, 46, see the table XDIO Digital I/O Connector Pin Assignments in the SmartController EX manual), that will close when high power has been enabled. The user can use this feature to power an indicator lamp or other device, that signals High Power is On. The limit on these contacts is 1 A at 30 VDC or 30 VAC.
70 eCobra User's Guide 14402-000 Rev. F
Chapter 4: System Installation

Remote High Power On/Off Control

The easiest and most effective way to provide the high power on/off control in a remote loc­ation is to mount the Front Panel in the desired location with an extension cable.
However, if the user needs to control high power on/off from other control equipment or from a location other than the Front Panel, then a custom splitter cable will be required. See the Front Panel schematic (Front Panel Schematic on page 68) for details of the Front Panel’s wir­ing. In this situation, a second momentary contact for high power on/off would be placed in parallel with the Front Panel push-button contact. This second contact should be suppressed when in Manual mode (see the note on “Single Point of Control” below).
This method allows relocating the push-button switch to a more convenient location. Imple­mentation of this method must conform to EN standard recommendations.
NOTE: European standards require that the remote High Power push-button be located outside of the workspace of the robot.
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 nor­mally-open contacts from a user-supplied momentary push-button switch.
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYRISK To fulfill the “Single Point of Control” requirement, do not place the Manu­al/Automatic and High Power On controls in multiple locations. After putting 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.

High Power On/Off Lamp

The Front Panel High Power On/Off Lamp (p/n: 27400-29006) will cause an error, from eV+, 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 Changing the Lamp In the Front Panel High-Power Indicator on page 119 for information on changing this lamp.

Remote Front Panel or User-Supplied Control Panel Usage

Users can mount the Front Panel remotely by using an extension cable or by wiring a user-sup­plied Front Panel (control panel) to the controller using the 15-pin XFP connector. The Front Panel contains no active components, only switches and lights. Customers 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 the figure Front Panel Schematic on page 68 for a schematic drawing of the Front Panel, and see the table System Installation on page 35 for a summary of connections and pin numbers.
NOTE: The system was evaluated by Underwriters Laboratory with our Front Panel. If you provide a substitute front panel, the system may no longer be UL compliant.
14402-000 Rev. F eCobra User's Guide 71

5.3 Brakes

The robot has a braking system that decelerates the robot in an emergency or abnormal situ­ation, such as when the emergency stop circuit is open or a robot joint passes its softstop.
The braking system will not prevent you from moving the robot manually once the robot has stopped (and high power has been removed).
In addition, Joint 3 has an electromechanical brake. The brake is released when high power is enabled. When high power is turned off, the brake engages and holds the position of Joint 3.

Brake Release Button

Under some circumstances you may want to manually position Joint 3 on the Z-Axis without turning on high power. For such instances, a ‘Z’ Brake Release button is located above the

robot status panel, as shown in Figure 5-2. When system power is on, pressing this button releases the brake, which allows movement of Joint 3.
NOTE: 24 Volt robot power must be on to release the brake.
If this button is pressed while high power is on, high power will automatically shut off.
CAUTION: PROPERTYDAMAGERISK Pressing the Brake Release button may cause the quill and tool flange to fall. When the Brake Release button is pressed, Joint 3 may drop to the bottom of its travel. To prevent possible damage to the equipment, make sure that Joint 3 is supported while releasing the brake and verify that the end-effector or other installed tooling is clear of all obstructions.

Remote Brake Release Feature

You can also configure the XIO Input 6.2 (pin 18) to act as an alternate hardware brake release input. The setting is available on the Robot page in the ACE software. The parameter is Remote Brake Release Input. When enabled (True), activating XIO Input 6.2 is identical to pressing the brake button on the status display. The input status will still reflect in the IO register.
If an alternate (user-supplied)brake release button is used, ensure that the brake release button displays a warning similar to the preceding WARNING. This is to comply with ISO 10218-1, Clause 5.13.

5.4 Front Panel

NOTE: The factory-supplied Front Panel E-Stop is designed in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60204-1 and ISO 13849.
IMPORTANT: Any user-supplied front panel E-Stop must be designed in accord­ance with the requirements of IEC 60204-1 and ISO 13849. The push button of the E-Stop must comply with ISO 13850 (Clause 5.5.2).

Manual / Automatic Mode Switch
Switches between Manual ( ) and Automatic ( ) mode. In Automatic mode, executing programs control the robot, and the robot can run at full speed. In Manual
mode, the system limits robot speed and torque so that an operator can safely work in the cell. Manual mode initiates hardware and software restrictions on robot speed, com­manding no more than 250 mm/sec.
There is no high speed mode in manual mode.
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYRISK If an operator is going to be in the work cell in manual mode, it is strongly recommended that the operator carry an enabling device. The Enable button on the manual control pendant is such a device.
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYRISK Whenever possible, manual mode operations should be performed with all personnel outside the workspace.
4.
High Power On / Off Switch and Lamp
Controls high power, which is the flow of current to the robot motors. Enabling high power is a two-step process. An “Enable Power” request must be sent from the user-sup­plied PC, an executing program, or a 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.
IMPORTANT: Disabling the High Power button violates IEC 60204-1. It is strongly recommended that you not alter the use of the High Power but­ton.
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.

XIO Input Signals

The 12 input channels are arranged in two banks of six. Each bank is electrically isolated from the other bank and is optically isolated from the robot’s ground. The six inputs within each bank share a common source/sink line.
The inputs are accessed through direct connection to the XIO connector (see the previous table), or through the optional XIO Termination Block. See the documentation supplied with the termination block for details.
For REACTI programming, high-speed interrupts, or vision triggers:
l
With a SmartController EX, you can only use the EXXDIO inputs.
l
Without a SmartController EX, you can only use the XIO inputs.

NOTE: The OFF state current range exceeds the leakage current of XIO outputs. This guarantees that the inputs will not be turned on by the leakage current from the outputs. This is useful in situations where the outputs are looped-back to the inputs for monitoring purposes.

XIO Output Signals

The eight digital outputs share a common, high side (sourcing) driver IC. The driver is designed to supply any kind of load with one side connected to ground. It is designed for a range of user-provided voltages from 10 to 24 VDC and each channel is capable of up to 0.7 A of current. This driver has overtemperature protection, shorted load protection, and is current limiting. In the event of an output short or other overcurrent situation, the affected output of the driver IC turns off and back on automatically to reduce the temperature of the IC. The driver draws power from the primary 24 VDC input to the robot through a self-resetting poly­fuse.
The outputs are accessed through direct connection to the XIO connector. See Table 5-6. Optionally, use the XIO Termination Block. See the documentation supplied with the ter­mination block for details.

Enabling High Power

After you have started ACE and connected to the controller, enable high power to the robot motors.
Using ACE to Enable High Power
1.
From the 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 5-3. (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.
IMPORTANT: Disabling the High Power button violates IEC 60204-1. It is strongly recommended that you not alter the use of the High Power but­ton.
This step turns on high power to the robot motors and calibrates the robot.

The Robot Status LED glows amber.
l
The code on the Robot Status Panel displays ON. See Status Panel Fault Codes on page 73.

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 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 ACE software. For details, see the ACE User’s Guide.
Verify that the Teach Restrict speed limitation is working correctly by running the Teach Restrict verification procedure. Refer to the Teach Restrict Verification Utility on page 114.
