Chapter 6: System Operation
6.1 Status Panel Codes
The status panel display on the eMB-40/60R displays alpha-numeric codes that indicate the
operating status of the robot, including detailed fault codes. The chapter on eMotionBlox-
40/60R gives definitions of the fault codes. These codes provide details for quickly isolating
problems during troubleshooting. See Status Panel on page 42.
6.2 Brakes
UL robots have an integrated brake-release switch located on the robot. On non-UL robots, you
can install a manual brake-release box. In both cases, you can release the brakes on a specific
joint.
WARNING: Pressing the Brake Release button may cause robot arms and the
tool flange to fall.
Secure the robot prior to releasing the brakes on joints 2 or 3, to prevent injury
to personnel or equipment damage.
Installing and Using the Brake Release Box
This procedure describes how to install and use a manual brake release box on non-UL robots.
See the following figure.
1.
Make sure that high power is disabled (off).
2.
Connect the 9-pin male D-sub connector into the 9-pin female D-sub connector marked
Brake on the eMB-40/60R.
3.
Press one of the E-Stops (Pendant, Front Panel, or external).
NOTE: An E-Stop must be activated in order for the brake release box to
work.
4.
Using the joint selector switch, select the joint for which you want to release the brake.
5.
Depress the Brake Release push button to release the brake.
6.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 above for releasing the brake on another joint.
NOTE: When the Status LED (Green) is on, it indicates that the circuit is
enabled, when the Brake Release push button is pressed.
