this situation, a second momentary contact for high power on/off would be placed in parallel
with the panel push-button contact. This second contact should be suppressed when in
Manual mode (see the note on "Single Point of Control" below).
This method allows relocating the push-button switch to a more convenient location. Imple-
mentation of this method must conform to EN standard recommendations.
NOTE: European standards require that the remote High Power push-button be loc-
ated outside of the workspace of the robot.
Pins 6, 14 and 5, 13 of the XFP connector provide this remote capability. Pins 5, 13 provide
power for the lamp, +5 VDC and ground, respectively. Pins 6, 14 are inputs for voltage-free nor-
mally-open contacts from a user-supplied momentary push-button switch.
WARNING: To fulfill the "Single Point of Control" requirement, do not place
the Manual/Automatic and High Power On controls in multiple locations.
After putting the robot into Manual mode, the operator should remove the key
for safety purposes. The system should not be wired so that a PLC or another
operator can put the system back into Automatic mode.
High Power On/Off Lamp
The Front Panel High Power On/Off Lamp (P/N: 27400-29006) will cause an error, from eV+, if
the lamp burns out. This error prevents High Power from being turned on. This safety feature
prevents a user from not realizing that High Power is enabled because the High Power indic-
ator is burned out. See Changing the Front Panel High-Power Indicator Lamp on page 118 for
information on changing this lamp.
Remote Front Panel or User-Supplied Control Panel Usage
Users can mount the optional Front Panel remotely by using an extension cable or by wiring a
user-supplied Front Panel (control panel) to the controller using the 15-pin XFP connector. The
Front Panel contains no active components, only switches and lights. Customers should be
able to adapt the Front Panel's functionality into their own Front Panel design. To auto-
matically control the Front Panel's signals, use relay contacts instead of switches. See the fig-
ure Front Panel Schematic on page 63 for a schematic drawing of the Front Panel, and see the
table System Installation on page 39 for a summary of connections and pin numbers.
NOTE: The system was evaluated by Underwriters Laboratory with a factory-sup-
plied Front Panel. If you provide a substitute front panel, the system may no longer
be UL compliant.
Customers can build an extension cable to place the optional Front Panel in a remote location.
The extension cable must conform to the following specifications:
Wire Size: must be larger than 26 AWG.
l
Connectors: must be 15-pin, standard D-sub male and female.
l
Maximum cable length is 10 meters.
