Connecting the MCP

The MCP connects to the XMCP connector on the front of the controller. See the system
cable diagram in Figure 2-9 on page 34
• For an MCP-3, install the MCP adapter cable and the MCP-3 dongle between the
MCP and the controller.
• For an MCP-4, install the MCP adapter cable between the MCP and the controller.
The dongle is not required for the MCP-4.
The pendant emergency stop switch and the palm-activated enabling switch are wired
into the emergency stop circuitry. Therefore, either the pendant or the optional pendant
jumper plug must be attached to this connector. If neither one is connected, you cannot
enable High Power. If the pendant or jumper plug is removed, High Power is turned off.
CAUTION:
this will void the warranty on the MCP.
WARNING:
Front Panel must be set to Manual if the MCP is to be used
inside the robot workcell. This enables important safety
features to protect the operator by limiting the speed of the
robot.
