Using Push Button
Switches and Door
Interlock to Run the
Machine
The Run, Stop (yellow), Emergency Stop push button switches and the
front door interlock can control this machine without the use of the
computer interface.
Emergency Stop (E-stop)
To stop the machine immediately push the E-stop switch. Using the
E-stop switch requires you to follow the Machine Start procedure to
start motion.
Stop
Pressing Stop stops motion after the current motion cycle. Press Start to
restart.
Run
Press Run to initialize, run, and re-start the machine. The first time it is
pressed after power is applied the amplifiers are powered up and
initialized with motion parameters. The second time it is pressed after
initialization the axis homes and then runs through it’s cycle
continuously. Pressing Run while the machine is paused starts motion
immediately.
Front and Back Doors
Opening the front or back door is the same as using the E-stop switch.
The interlock opens and all motion coasts to a stop. To re-start machine
follow Machine Start procedure.

Using the Application to
Control the Machine
Once the machine is initialized using the hardware buttons it can be
controlled with the computer touch screen. The machine must be
connected to the computer via the ethernet cable and the computer
must be running the RSLogix Software application.
There are two virtual buttons displayed on the touch screen: Run and
Pause. Run will start the motion immediately. Pause will stop motion
after the current motion cycle.
