Maintenance 6. Alarm
6. Alarm
When the batteries (lithium batteries) for the controller and the manipulator drain, an
alarm warning voltage reduction occurs. However, the alarm does not guarantee the
battery lives until replacement, and it is necessary to replace the batteries immediately.
If you run out the batteries, the robot parameters will be lost and recalibration of the robot
will be required.
In addition, lack of grease in the robot may cause abnormal noises or scratches and may
prevent the best performance of the robot. If the robot breaks down due to lack of grease,
it will take significant time and cost for repair.
Following sections describe the alarm function which announces the following
maintenance timings in order to perform maintenance well ahead of time before the
warning error.
- Robot battery replacement and grease up
- Controller battery replacement
6.1 Alarm Configuration
The alarm can be configured to announce the maintenance timings of robot battery/grease,
and controller battery. The alarm should be set one month prior to the normal
maintenance timing.
CAUTION

Make sure that the date and time on the controller are set correctly. The alarm
cannot function properly with improper date and time setting.

If the CPU board or CF is replaced, the alarm information may be lost. When you
replaced these parts,
confirm the date and time of the controller and alarm
information.
6.1.1 Robot Battery and Grease Up
When the robot is configured or changed, an alarm for the battery replacement and grease
up will be configured automatically.
When the robot is deleted from the configuration, the alarm will also be automatically
deleted.
For details on the robot configuration, refer to the EPSON RC+ 7.0 User’s Guide 10.1
Setting the Robot Model.
CAUTION

Changing of the robot should be done carefully. The alarm setting will be reset
when the robot is changed.
The first alarm for the robot battery replacement and grease up after purchase may occur
earlier than originally scheduled.
If you are using the controller with the firmware version before 7.1.0.0, the alarm
information is not configured. In such case, edit the alarm information.
For details on the alarm information editing, refer to Maintenance 6.3 How to Edit the
Alarm Information.
