Safety Precautions
Always read the following precautions and the separate "Safety
Manual" before starting use of the robot to learn the required
measures to be taken.
CAUTION All teaching work must be carried out by an operator who has received special
training. (This also applies to maintenance work with the power source turned ON.) →Enforcement of safety training
CAUTION For teaching work, prepare a work plan related to the methods and procedures
of operating the robot, and to the measures to be taken when an error occurs or when restarting. Carry out work following this plan. (This also applies to maintenance work with the power source turned ON.) →Preparation of work plan
WARNING Prepare a device that allows operation to be stopped immediately during
teaching work. (This also applies to maintenance work with the power source turned ON.) →Setting of emergency stop switch
CAUTION During teaching work, place a sign indicating that teaching work is in progress
on the start switch, etc. (This also applies to maintenance work with the power source turned ON.) →Indication of teaching work in progress
DANGER Provide a fence or enclosure during operation to prevent contact of the operator
and robot. →Installation of safety fence
CAUTION Establish a set signaling method to the related operators for starting work,
and follow this method. →Signaling of operation start
CAUTION As a principle turn the power OFF during maintenance work. Place a sign
indicating that maintenance work is in progress on the start switch, etc. →Indication of maintenance work in progress
CAUTION Before starting work, inspect the robot, emergency stop switch and other
related devices, etc., and confirm that there are no errors. →Inspection before starting work

The points of the precautions given in the separate "Safety Manual" are given below. Refer to the actual "Safety Manual" for details.
DANGER When automatic operation of the robot is performed using multiple control
devices (GOT, programmable controller, push-button switch), the interlocking of operation rights of the devices, etc. must be designed by the customer.
CAUTION Use the robot within the environment given in the specifications. Failure to do
so could lead to faults or a drop of reliability. (Temperature, humidity, atmosphere, noise environment, etc.)
CAUTION Transport the robot with the designated transportation posture. Transporting
the robot in a non-designated posture could lead to personal injuries or faults from dropping.
CAUTION Always use the robot installed on a secure table. Use in an instable posture
could lead to positional deviation and vibration.
CAUTION Wire the cable as far away from noise sources as possible. If placed near a
noise source, positional deviation or malfunction could occur.
CAUTION Do not apply excessive force on the connector or excessively bend the cable.
Failure to observe this could lead to contact defects or wire breakage.
CAUTION Make sure that the workpiece weight, including the hand, does not exceed the
rated load or tolerable torque. Exceeding these values could lead to alarms or faults.
WARNING Securely install the hand and tool, and securely grasp the workpiece. Failure to
observe this could lead to personal injuries or damage if the object comes off or flies off during operation.
WARNING Securely ground the robot and controller. Failure to observe this could lead to
malfunctioning by noise or to electric shock accidents.
CAUTION Indicate the operation state during robot operation. Failure to indicate the state
could lead to operators approaching the robot or to incorrect operation.
WARNING When carrying out teaching work in the robot's movement range, always secure
the priority right for the robot control. Failure to observe this could lead to personal injuries or damage if the robot is started with external commands.
CAUTION Keep the jog speed as low as possible, and always watch the robot. Failure to do
so could lead to interference with the workpiece or peripheral devices.
Page 5
CAUTION After editing the program, always confirm the operation with step operation before
starting automatic operation. Failure to do so could lead to interference with peripheral devices because of programming mistakes, etc.
CAUTION Make sure that if the safety fence entrance door is opened during automatic
operation, the door is locked or that the robot will automatically stop. Failure to do so could lead to personal injuries.
CAUTION Never carry out modifications based on personal judgments, non-designated
maintenance parts. Failure to observe this could lead to faults or failures.
WARNING When the robot arm has to be moved by hand from an external area, do not place
hands or fingers in the openings. Failure to observe this could lead to hands or fingers catching depending on the posture.
CAUTION Do not stop the robot or apply emergency stop by turning the robot controller's
main power OFF. If the robot controller main power is turned OFF during automatic operation, the robot accuracy could be adversely affected. Also a dropped or coasted robot arm could collide with peripheral devices.
CAUTION Do not turn OFF the robot controller's main power while rewriting the robot
controller's internal information, such as a program and parameter. Turning OFF the robot controller's main power during automatic operation or program/parameter writing could break the internal information of the robot controller.
DANGER Do not connect the Handy GOT when using the GOT direct connection function of
this product. Failure to observe this may result in property damage or bodily injury because the Handy GOT can automatically operate the robot regardless of whether the operation rights are enabled or not.
DANGER Do not connect the Handy GOT to a programmable controller when using an iQ
Platform compatible product with the CR750-Q/CR751-Q/CR800-R/CR800-Q controller. Failure to observe this may result in property damage or bodily injury because the Handy GOT can automatically operate the robot regardless of whether the operation rights are enabled or not.
DANGER Do not remove the SSCNET III cable while power is supplied to the multiple CPU
system or the servo amplifier. Do not look directly at light emitted from the tip of
SSCNET III connectors or SSCNET III cables of the Motion CPU or the servo amplifier. Eye discomfort may be felt if exposed to the light. (Reference: SSCNET III employs a Class 1 or equivalent light source as specified in JIS C 6802 and IEC60825-1 (domestic standards in Japan).)
DANGER Do not remove the SSCNET III cable while power is supplied to the controller.
Do not look directly at light emitted from the tip of SSCNET III connectors or SSCNET III cables. Eye discomfort may be felt if exposed to the light. (Reference: SSCNET III employs a Class 1 or equivalent light source as specified in JIS C 6802 and IEC60825-1 (domestic standards in Japan).)
Page 6
DANGER Attach the cap to the SSCNET III connector after disconnecting the SSCNET III cable.
If the cap is not attached, dirt or dust may adhere to the connector pins, resulting in
deterioration connector properties, and leading to malfunction.
CAUTION Make sure there are no mistakes in the wiring. Connecting differently to the way
specified in the manual can result in errors, such as the emergency stop not being released. In order to prevent errors occurring, please be sure to check that all functions (such as the teaching box emergency stop, customer emergency stop, and door switch) are working properly after the wiring setup is completed.
CAUTION Use the network equipments (personal computer, USB hub, LAN hub, etc)
confirmed by manufacturer. The thing unsuitable for the FA environment (related with conformity, temperature or noise) exists in the equipments connected to USB. When using network equipment, measures against the noise, such as
measures against EMI and the addition of the ferrite core, may be necessary. Please fully confirm the operation by customer. Guarantee and maintenance
of the equipment on the market (usual office automation equipment) cannot be performed.
CAUTION To maintain the safety of the robot system against unauthorized access from external
devices via the network, take appropriate measures. To maintain the safety against unauthorized access via the Internet, take measures such as installing a firewall.

When creating a PROFIBUS DP network, note that the network comes in under the following design limits:
(1) Number of units that can be connected to the entire network (when repeaters are used)
Master + Slave ≤ 126
(2) Number of units which can be connected to a segment
Master + Slave + repeater
*1

(3) Maximum number of intervening repeaters
Up to 3 repeaters are allowed to intervene in the communication path between Master Station and
2D-TZ577 Card
(4) It is necessary to enable terminator resistors on a dedicated connector installed at the terminal station of
each segment.
(5) Maximum number of Slave Stations which can be connected to a Master Station depends on the
specification of the Master Station.
(*1) Repeater is counted in the number of units at each of the segments.

Controller.
Initial value Setting range Description
Card is checked for error. Unit interval: msec In normal condition, use the 2D-TZ577 Card at its factory default (40). User may change the setting only when communication errors are frequently encountered under the undue influence from noise in his installation environment. Normally, a setting in the range of 40 to 70msec will do. Increase the setting with great
care as this may result in the inability to generate an error indication even when one occurs in the 2D-TZ577 Card.
With a value greater than "1" being specified (rounding-up checked), the Controller generates an error indication only when it has detected a 2D-TZ577 Card error continuously during a specified period of time. The Controller does not generate an error indication unless it has had continuous error detection. With "0" being specified, an error indication is generated immediately upon a 2D-

3.5 Robot Controller Input/Output Signals

Input/output signals processed in the Robot Controller are in the range of 2000 to 3951 maximum (equivalent to
192 words), respectively, irrespective of station numbers.
Table 3-5 PROFIBUS Input/Output Signal Numbers
The data sizes of input/output signal are specified by parameter settings on the side of the Master Station. The
combined number of pieces of input/output data is 192 words maximum while the respective number of pieces
of input/output data is 122 words maximum.
Examples: (Input - 122 words) + (output - 70 words) = 192 words in total
(Input - 96 words) + (output - 96 words) = 192 words in total
(Input - 10 words) + (output - 10 words) = 20 words in total

3.8 About Output Signal Reset Patterns

Factory default settings are such that startup takes place with all general-purpose output signals being off (0).
You can change the state of general-purpose output signals at power-on by re-specifying the parameters listed
in the table below. Note that these parameters are intended to serve the following purpose as well: performing
general-purpose output signal reset operation (which is carried out with dedicated input signals) and selection of
reset pattern during the execution of Clr command.
Parameter setting options include "off," "on," and "hold." The following table lists parameters which are used on
the 2D-TZ577 Card for general-purpose output resetting.
Table 3-10 A Listing of Output Signal Reset Pattern Parameters
Parameter ORST○○○○ has the default values of "0000000, 00000000, 00000000, and 00000000", and can be
set to specify "off," "on," and "hold" (= "0," "off," and "1") for 32 points. Leading number is assigned from the left
side.
For example, if ORST2000 is set to "*0000001, 00000000, 11110000, and 00000000," the following will result
when power to the Robot Controller is turned back on:

Make settings for dedicated input/output as listed in the table. After changing the parameter settings, power the
system off and on again.
For information about making these settings, refer to the "Instruction Manual - Detailed Description of Functions
and Operation" which is separately issued.

7.4.2 About General-purpose Input/Output

General-purpose input/output, too, are accessible by using system variables for I/O, such as M_In and M_Out.
However, you are not permitted to make such access as spans beyond the region used in PROFIBUS, like 1999,
by using variables which access a plurality of bits, including M_Inb, M_Inw, M_Outb, and M_Outw. Ensure that
your programming stays within the region ranging from 2000 and 3951.
Correct example: M_In (2000), M_Inb (2010), M_Out (3000), M_Outb (3010), etc.
Incorrect example: M_Inb(1999), M_Inw (5070)M_Outb (1999), M_Outw (1999), etc.

7.4.4 A Sample Program for Checking Input/Output

Shown below is a sample program which can be used for checking input/output on the 2D-TZ577 Card.
Use this program during a checkup at startup or as otherwise required.
Table 7-7 Signal Alignment Conditions
Robot program specification
Input bits are copied in their entirety onto output bits.
[Robot Program - Example 1]
Input signals to the Robot are looped back in their entirety to output signals (for the purpose of bit check).
For M1 = 2000 To 3535 M_Out(M1) = M_In(M1) ' Copied in the form of a variable for bit Next M1
End
[Robot Program - Example 2]
Input signals to the Robot are looped back in their entirety to output signals (for the purpose of byte check).
For M1 = 2000 To 3535 Step 8
M_Outb(M1) = M_Inb(M1) ' Copied in the form of a variable for byte
Next M1
End
[Robot Program - Example 3]
Input signals to the Robot are looped back in their entirety to output signals (for the purpose of word check).
For M1 = 2000 To 3535 Step 16
M_Outw(M1) = M_Inw(M1) ' Copied in the form of a variable for word
Next M1
End
Run this program and check the looped-back signals on the side of the Master Station.
