4.4. FIXING THE MCP
4.4.1. CHARACTERISTICS
Protection class: IP54
Note:
The MCP must not be used in an explosive environment.
The MCP must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the installation. It must be accessible close to
the workstation and outside the cell (see figure 4.4).
It is installed on the holder provided for the purpose. The holder must be fixed to an outside element of the cell
(see figure 4.5). It must not be removable to prevent its use inside the cell. The fastening work must be carried out
using the oblong holes 8x12mm and screws of suitable size (see figure 4.5).
The MCP holder has two functions:
• To ensure that the MCP is easily accessible for the operator.
• To detect the presence of the MCP outside the cell when the arm is powered on.
Figure 4.4
CAUTION:
The MCP is made of plastic. This means that it can pick up electrostatic charges and be a
source of electrostatic discharges to components located close by. This must be taken into
account for sensitive components in the robot cell.
CAUTION:
If MCP is not connected to the controller, it shall be removed from the cell to avoid having a
non-operating E-Stop push button.
