2. Introduction to the Hardware PreciseFlex 100 Robot
System Components Part Number: 603988 Rev. A
Remote Front Panel, E-Stop Box and Manual Control Pendant
Brooks offers an E-Stop Box (Figure 2-3) or a portable Hardware Manual Control Pendant (Figure
2-4) that includes an E-Stop button. The E-Stop box can be plugged into the 9 pin D-sub connector
in the connector panel in the base of the robot. The E-Stop box completes a circuit from Pin 6
(24VDC) to Pin 7 (E-Stop) in this connector. If this circuit is not completed it is not possible to enable
motor power to the robot. If no E-Stop box or Manual Control Pendant is connected, a jumper must
be connected between these two pins to enable robot motor power. The Manual Control Pendants
can be plugged directly into the 9-pin Dsub connector mounted on the robot's Facilities Panel in the
base of the robot. The E-Stop connections are also present on the 9-pin Dsub connector and each
of these units provides the hardware signals to permit power to be enabled and disabled.
