Test running (MANUAL mode)
See the Product manual chapter Safety and the Programming Manual for detailed
information about operation and programming.
1. After checking the system parameters the robot can be started.
From MOTOR OFF, as described in chapter 4.3 the robot system is switched to
MOTOR ON by pressing the enabeling device.
2. Robot system with absolute measurement has a well known absolute position if
the robot system is calibrated and is therefore directly ready for operation.
Calibration is described in the service manual.
If the system have external axes that has to be synchronized (wellknown home
position) before the system is ready for operation the MOTOR ON -lamp
will start to flash. The external axes are synchronized by pressing the SYNC
button on the programming unit.
3. The robot is ready for operation when the MOTOR ON - lamp stops flashing
and the text READY is presented on the display.
Before pressing the synchronization button make sure that external axes are free
to move into the synchronizing position (home position).
Test running should be performed in a series of steps. Begin by running the robot manually
through its complete working range.A simple positioning program can then be test-run,
instruction by instruction to begin with, and then in an automatic sequence at different
speeds.
The peripheral equipment can be tested either by programming and executing instructions
which activate the peripheral equipment or by simulating the corresponding signals in the
peripheral equipment.
Perform a systematic check that all functions in the peripheral equipment are executed as
intended. A test-run of a program combining robot and peripheral equipment operations
should then be performed.
The test-run is to be concluded with checks of the functions of any sensor in the system and
the transmission of data over any computer link.
Check the storage of program material on diskette and its return to the robot memory.
