6.11.1 Energy-Saving Function
Energy-saving function is a function to save power by halting the power to
the robot after applying brake to the motor when robot’s all axes won’t
move for a designated period of time while servo is turned ON in play
mode. The initial designated period of time is 10 minutes.
This energy-saving function is valid when all the following condition met.
1. Energy-saving function is valid.
2. The system input signal (signal to prohibit on energy-saving mode
#40580) is turned OFF.
Followings are the status of the robot while this function is valid.
1. The message “On energy saving mode” is indicated on the
programming pendant.
2. The servo is turned ON.
3. The jobs under execution are continuously executed.
4. The system output signal (ENERGY-SAVING:SOUT#0576(#50727))to
indicate that it is in energy-saving status is turned ON while other
signals won’t change.
This function is cancelled in the following cases.
– When the programming pendant mode is switched to teach
mode.
– When the system input signal of external servo OFF(1,2,3) is
input.
– When the axis, which belongs to the subject control group of the
executing job, is about to move while energy-saving function is
valid.
– In the cases where emergency stop or servo OFF is executed
when alarming.
This function will not be cancelled if the system input signal
(signal to prohibit energy-saving #40580) is turned ON.
This signal merely prohibits to shift the status to energy-
saving status.
