8. START UP
This chapter deals with the following topics:
– Precautions to be taken before starting the machine up
– Staring up the Control Unit
– Errors caused by incorrect connections in the safety circuits or in the ystem inputs.
8.1 Precautions to be taken before starting the
machine up
– The robot system (consisting of Robot and Control Unit) shall be integrated in a
complex system and suitably interfaced. If the safety signal interfacing circuits
are not connected, the user will be able to turn on the Control Unit but it will
not be possible to start the Robot engines. The reference diagrams for the
correct interfacing are to be found in the previous chapters.
– The UPS module battery shall be charged to ensure the controlled shut-down
functionality. The first complete charge takes about 3 hours. During such period the
Control Unit may not be able to guarantee the controlled shut-down functionality
triggering in case of power supply interruption.
8.2 Staring up the Control Unit
– To start up the Control Unit, turn the main switch on (position “I”).
– During the first seconds the system carries out the necessary self-tests to check
the modules functionality. This procedure is signalled by the LEDS lighiting up on
the modules.
– After performing the tests and loading the system, the Teach Pendant will be the
interface for any kind of activity to be carried out on the robot system (motion,
programming, diagnosis, ...).
– In case of errors due to open safety and control circuits, refer to par. 8.3 Errors
caused by incorrect connections in the safety circuits or in the ystem inputs on
page 69

Due to the extent of the topics related to the Control Unit startup, motion and
programming as well as any other required item, it is necessary to refer also to
other manuals.
Depending on the needs, we suggest the following documents:
– as for the robot system start-up and usage: Usage of the Control Unit
– as for the specific applications: (the different application manuals).
For a more detailed list, please refer to par. Reference documents on page 6.
