3.4.2 Main Screen
The {Main} screen (Fig.3-22 "MLX200 Robot HMI Main Screen") is the
{Start-up} screen for the HMI. This screen contains the following
components:
• Indicators for when the MLX200 Control Module is initialized and
connected
• Buttons to control the state of the system (Enable, Reset, Hold,
Abort, etc…) along with an indicator for the current state. Only the
buttons relevant to the current state will be displayed on the HMI. For
example, Fig.3-22 "MLX200 Robot HMI Main Screen" shows the
buttons available in the Idle state.
Fig.3-24 "Full Display of State Management Buttons" shows a list of
all of the various state buttons.
• A [Menu] button that overlays the Navigation Menu (Fig.3-25
"MLX200 Robot HMI Menu Selection") that can be used to navigate
to the other {HMI} screens.
• A Key Switch indicator displaying whether the system is in Automatic
or Manual Mode
• A [Release Limits] button that allows temporarily bypassing the
software limits configured for the Robot.
• A [Brake Release] button that can be used to release the brakes on
the Robot
• Login/Logout buttons for HMI security
