Communication Connections
The standard configuration of the Atmospheric Single-Arm Robot communicates
with a Host Controller. The following procedures provide the information required
to make all communications connections to the product.
CAUTION
Never connect or disconnect the communications lines with power
applied to the product as damage to internal components may result.
NOTE: Alterations or changes to the software should only be made by qualified Brooks
Automation personnel.
Brooks Automation recommends that each operator control station that can initiate
robot motion, has a readily accessible EMERGENCY STOP or EMO device. This
includes the Teach Pendant; the SEMI S2 compliant TTR 200 has a red EMS button.
Another way to intereact with the robot is through the EQT 32 interface on a personal
computer. Refer to the Smart Controller Hardware and Software User’s Manual for
details on using the EQT 32 interface and the Teach Pendant. You cannot use the EQT
32 interface and the Teach Pendant simultaneously.
Before connecting a Teach Pendant or installing the EQT 32 interface, follow these
instructions to ready the controller.
1. Verify that all cables are plugged into the correct connectors in the correct ori-
entation. Make sure they are securely fastened, using the integral jack screws
supplied with the cables as needed.
2. Exit the restricted envelope before you apply power.
3. Power up the controller.
4. After boot-up, check the indicator LEDs located at the front of the controller.
The following conditions indicate a “normal” condition:
• The green LED is ON.
• The yellow LED is flashing.
• The red LED remains ON until the amplifiers are enabled.
