WARNING

Before operating the manipulator, check that servo power is turned

OFF when the emergency stop buttons on the front door of the
DX200 and programming pendant are pressed.
When the servo power is turned OFF, the SERVO ON LED on the
programming pendant is turned OFF.

Injury or damage to machinery may result if the emergency stop circuit

cannot stop the manipulator during an emergency. The manipulator
should not be used if the emergency stop buttons do not function.
Figure 1: Emergency Stop Button

Once the emergency stop button is released, clear the cell of all
items which could interfere with the operation of the manipulator.
Then turn the servo power ON.

Injury may result from unintentional or unexpected manipulator motion.

Figure 2: Release of Emergency Stop
TURN

Observe the following precautions when performing teaching

operations within the P-point maximum envelope of the manipulator
View the manipulator from the front whenever possible.
Always follow the predetermined operating procedure.
Keep in mind the emergency response measures against the
manipulators unexpected motion toward you.
Ensure that you have a safe place to retreat in case of
emergency.

Improper or unintended manipulator operation may result in injury.

Confirm that no persons are present in the P-point maximum

envelope of the manipulator and that you are in a safe location
before:
Turning ON the DX200 power
Moving the manipulator with the programming pendant
Running the system in the check mode
Performing automatic operations

Injury may result if anyone enters the P-point maximum envelope of

the manipulator during operation. Always press an emergency stop
button immediately if there are problems.The emergency stop

NOTE

The table above describes the status of input / output allocation on Interface panel.
Dont refer to this allocation table when allocating input/output signals for Concurrent I/O program.

Note that the following two signals are assumed to be

unused for OUT/GOUT in the CIO program.
External output #30010 to #35127: Output allocation: enable
DL output
#37010 to #39567: Output allocation: enable

The "Setup" box cannot be enabled if a signal used for the

OUT/GOUT command in the CIO program is assigned as
output in the I/F panel.
The 4240 error will occur ("Relay No.duplicated in CIO
program and I/F panel").
While a signal is in IO simulation, assigning that signal as
output in the I/F panel prohibits the toggling of signal's ON/
OFF state in the I/F panel. Message: "Signal state cannot
change in I/O simulation mode"

"Hold" and " Clear" of the status of signlas are defined as follows:
"Hold " means to keep the status of the previous one at the time of
when the power supply is turned OFF or the mode is changed.
"Clear" means to turn the status of signals into OFF regardless of the
previous status at the time of when the power supply is turned OFF
or the mode is changed.

Notification of the Status of General Input Signals

1. Set general input signal numbers to the parameters from S4C597 to
S4C607. (Set values are available from 1 to 2048)
When the general input signal set to the parameter turns ON, the
Interface panel gets activated automatically and the corresponding
panel screen appears.
If there are several corresponding screens, the panel of smaller
number appears on the display.
However, when the signal set to S4C597 (which has no
corresponding panel) turns ON, the panel screen of the previous
one appears on the display.
When the signals set from S4C598 to S4C607 turn ON, the page
button (on which the group name is indicated) changes its color in
the corresponding panel.

SUPPLEMENT

In the cases below, the I/F Panelbutton flashes in the

lower left of the display notifying the "ON" status of the
general input signals set for the parameters.
The case when the Interface panels are unable to get
activated (during imputing characters or numeric values)
