Notes for Safe Operation
•Before operating the manipulator, check that servo power is turned
OFF pressing the emergency stop buttons on the front door of the
DX100 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.

•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
•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 DX100.
– 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.

1 Zeroing Function
1.1 Outline
1Zeroing Function
Zeroing function automatically allows for the restoration of the home
position data when the manipulator’s home position data disappear.
(Optional function)
This function only applies to the manipulator which was ordered to be
equipped with the zeroing function and shipped.
1.1Outline
The DX100 stores the manipulator home position based on the pulse
value of each axis encoder. Since the home position is already set and
registered before shipment, zeroing operation does not need to be
performed at the normal operation. However, zeroing operation needs to
be performed to restore the home position since the home position data
disappear when you perform the following operations, or the followings
occur.
163471-1CD
• Replacement of Motors
• Replacement of Encoders
• Backup Battery Exhaustion in the Manipulator
The home position data is stored by the backup battery. If
the battery is exhausted, the home position data disappear
again when turning OFF the DX100 power even when the
zeroing operation is performed.
Be sure to replace the battery periodically. For the battery
replacement, refer to “Maintenance and Inspection” of
“MOTOMAN-MH50 INSTRUCTIONS”.
The home positioning cannot be performed accurately by
the zeroing operation if changing the combination of the
manipulator and the DX100.

1.2 Details on Zeroing Function
•False zeroing operation may lead to the manipulator’s operation
error.
Be sure to follow the set procedures and perform the zeroing
operation upon ensuring the safety.
Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected manipulator motion,
or operation error.
The zeroing function is only valid when the security mode is
set to the management mode.
For the security mode, refer to chapter 7 “Security System”
of the “DX100 INSTRUCTIONS”.
1.2.2.1 Before the Zeroing Operation
Remove the tool attached to the manipulator and perform the zeroing
operation for accurate home positioning by the zeroing function. If the
zeroing operation is performed with the tool attached to the manipulator,
the tool’s weight may affect positioning accuracy.
1.2.2.2 Connection of the Zeroing Devices
1. When using the CF card slot: Insert the communication interface
(REX-CF60) into the CF card slot of the
programming pendant.

1.2 Details on Zeroing Function
Perform the zeroing operation for S-axis with the following procedure.
1. Remove the plug and cover from the attaching portion for the sensor.
Be sure to remove the cover. If the zeroing operation is
performed with the cover on, the sensor may be damaged.
The plug, cover, and cover mounting screws are small
parts.
Be sure not to lose them during the operation.
Be sure that the servo power is OFF and no safety hazard
is around the manipulator when approaching the
manipulator.
Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected
manipulator motion, or operation error.
2. Perform the home position alignment by adjusting the alignment marks
on the S-axis of the manipulator in the “TEACH” mode.
Be sure to adjust the home position alignment marks and
perform the zeroing operation.
Confirm that no persons are present in the P-point
maximum envelope of the manipulator and the operator is
in a safe place.
Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected
manipulator motion, or operation error.
3. Check that no spatter, fume or rust is attached in/on the sensor
mounting hole, or sensor detecting element after removing the plug
and cover.
– Remove the spatter, fume, and rust if they are found.

1.2 Details on Zeroing Function
Perform the zeroing operation for L-axis with the following procedure.
1. Remove the plug and cover from the attaching portion for the sensor.
Be sure to remove the cover. If the zeroing operation is
performed with the cover on, the sensor may be damaged.
The plug, cover, and cover mounting screws are small
parts.
Be sure not to lose them during the operation.
Be sure that the servo power is OFF and no safety hazard
is around the manipulator when approaching the
manipulator.
Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected
manipulator motion, or operation error.
2. Perform the home position alignment by adjusting the alignment marks
on the L-axis of the manipulator in the “TEACH” mode.
Be sure to adjust the home position alignment marks and
perform the zeroing operation.
Confirm that no persons are present in the P-point
maximum envelope of the manipulator and the operator is
in a safe place.
Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected
manipulator motion, or operation error.
3. Check that no spatter, fume or rust is attached in/on the sensor
mounting hole, or sensor detecting element after removing the plug
and cover.
– Remove the spatter, fume, and rust if they are found.

20. Turn ON the servo power by the [SER
Enable switch on the programming pendant.
Then, press [FWD] to move TCP to the second home position.
– Check for any position deviation of th
position.
21. Select {Data} from [Main Menu] → {Confirm Position}.
– The message “Home position checked” appears.
22. Confirm the operation in the “TEACH” mode before restarting
a
utomatic operation by playback.
– Check the followings to confirm the operation.
• Any
deviation at each taught point by FWD operation in the
“TEACH” mode
• Test runs
Be sure to confirm the home position before starting
automatic operation.
If false home position is input by the zeroing function, it may
lead to errors in the manipulator performance.
