WARNING

•Before operating the manipulator, check that servo power is turned OFF pressing the emergency stop buttons on the front door of the DX200 and the programming pendant.

When the servo power is turned OFF, the SERVO ON LED on the programming pendant is turned OFF.

Injury or damage to machinery may result if the emergency stop circuit cannot stop the manipulator during an emergency. The manipulator should not be used if the emergency stop buttons do not function.

Figure 1: Emergency Stop Button

•Once the emergency stop button is released, clear the cell of all items which could interfere with the operation of the manipulator. Then turn the servo power ON.

Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected manipulator motion.

Figure 2: Release of Emergency Stop

TURN

•Observe the following precautions when performing teaching operations within the P-point maximum envelope of the manipulator:

–Be sure to use a lockout device to the safeguarding when going inside. Also, display the sign that the operation is being performed inside the safeguarding and make sure no one closes the safeguarding.

–View the manipulator from the front whenever possible.

–Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.

–Keep in mind the emergency response measures against the manipulator’s unexpected motion toward you.

–Ensure that you have a safe place to retreat in case of emergency.

Improper or unintended manipulator operation may result in injury.

•Confirm that no person is present in the P-point maximum envelope of the manipulator and that you are in a safe location before:

–Turning ON the power for the DX200.

–Moving the manipulator with the programming pendant.

–Running the system in the check mode.

–Performing automatic operations.

Injury may result if anyone enters the P-point maximum envelope of the manipulator during operation. Always press an emergency stop button immediately if there is a problem.

The emergency stop buttons are located on the right of front door of the DX200 and the programming pendant.

Pendant Oscilloscope	1		Overview
Function	1.1		Pendant Oscilloscope Function

1 Overview

1.1Pendant Oscilloscope Function

Pendant Oscilloscope Function (hereinafter referred to as “PP oscilloscope”) is the monitoring function of speed reference, torque reference, as well as of concurrent I/O signals of each robot axis on the Programming Pendant. The PP oscilloscope is configured by the software, which requires no special hardware equipment. By carrying out the PP oscilloscope function, the pendant oscilloscope application (hereinafter referred to as “PP oscilloscope application”) starts on the Programming Pendant.

Equipped with an integral display screen containing the waveform display window and the condition setting panel, the PP oscilloscope application enables to perform several processes from condition setting to measurement at a time. Other available functions include Trigger function that stops the data acquisition at a given condition, Measure and display function of maximum/minimum values after data acquisition, Zoom function that displays the waveform data in a magnified view, and data output function in a format available on the computer. Fig. 1-1 shows a typical display of PP oscilloscope.

1.2 Specification

Main specification of the PP oscilloscope is listed in Table 1-1 below:

Table 1-1: Main Specifications of PP Oscilloscope

Parameter	Specification	Description
Measurement data	Speed reference, Speed	Number of channels that can be measured at the same
type	FB, Torque reference,	time.
	Concurrent I/O signal,
	Register value
Maximum channel	10 channels	Number of channels that can be measured at the same
number		time.
Sampling time	4.0, 8.0, 16.0, 32.0, 64.0	Indicates time interval for data sampling.
	[ms]	Smaller values enable more detailed measurement data,
		but shorten the data record time due to much data volume.
Maximum data length	50 [s] to 100 [s]	Indicates data length that can be recorded at a
		measurement. Some setting of sampling time can limit the
		maximum data length available.
Waveform acquisition	Continuous mode	Selects the mode according to the Trigger state
mode	Trigger mode	(valid/invalid):
		○Trigger Invalid: Continuous
		The Continuous mode displays the acquired data in a time-
		series order.
		○Trigger Valid: Trigger
		The Trigger mode automatically stops the measurement and
		displays waveform when the trigger conditions are satisfied.
Trigger condition	○Trigger for measurement	Other than normal waveform triggers, alarm trigger is also
	waveform	included.
	- Up trigger
	- Down trigger
	- Up&Down trigger
	○Alarm trigger
Data saving format	 CSV	 Saves the acquired data in CF or USB memory with the
	 JPG	CSV (Comma Separated Value) format.
		 Saves the displayed data on the screen in CF or USB
		memory with the JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
		format.

1.3Setup

NOTE	The register value output function is applicable from version
	DN1.61.00A(--)-00.

To activate the function, the optional parameters of the pendant oscilloscope function need to be effective (note that the user cannot change the parameter setting).

For the parameter setting other than specified above, contact a Yaskawa sales representative.

Pendant Oscilloscope	2 Setting and Operation for Data Measurement
Function	2.1 Startup of Pendant Oscilloscope Function

2 Setting and Operation for Data Measurement

This chapter describes setting and operation required for the measurement.

Basically the PP oscilloscope is operated by touching on the screen; for pull-down selection box or entry box,

however, the Cursor Keys enable the cursor operation, and [SELECT], [ENTER] or [CANCEL] key enables selection, determination, or cancel, just as the normal operation on the pendant screens.

In performing numerical input using an entry box, first activate the parameter to a selective state by [SELECT] key, input numerical values by the Number Keys of the pendant, and press [ENTER] key to determine it. To cancel the input numerical values, press [CANCEL] key in the selective state.

2.1Startup of Pendant Oscilloscope Function

The PP oscilloscope can be started up by the following step:

1.Select {ROBOT} from the menu in the left of screen.

2.Select {PENDANT OSCILLOSCOPE} from the expanded menu (see

Fig. 2-1).
