Connecting the power and pendant
Connecting the Bravo Platform to the controlling computer
G5562A, G5563A Bravo Platform Safety and Installation Guide
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, ensure that the Bravo safety
interlock circuit is connected to a light curtain or an enclosure with an interlock switch.
You will reconnect the power cord and pendant during the Bravo light curtain
installation procedure. However, you should connect the power cord and
pendant at this step to ensure that the Bravo Platform functions before
installing a Bravo light curtain.
To connect the power cord and pendant without a light curtain:
1
Connect one end of the power cord to the AC power entry on the back of
the Bravo Platform. Connect the other end of the cord into an AC outlet
with a grounded circuit.
2
Connect the pendant into the pendant port on the back of the Bravo
Platform.
You use Ethernet to connect a Bravo Platform to the computer in one of the
following ways:
•
Directly
•
Through an Ethernet switch
If you are setting up a standalone Bravo Platform, you can use either method.
If you are setting up a local area network (LAN) that has other devices on it,
use an Ethernet switch.
The Agilent configured computer has two Ethernet ports. You use one port to
connect to the Bravo Platform. The second Ethernet port may be used to
connect to your LAN. Verify the computer LAN connection to the Bravo
Platform before connecting any other networks.
WARNING
Connecting the Bravo Platform to a company or general network can
potentially cause injury. Remote computer operators might accidentally initiate an
operation that causes the robot to move unexpectedly, possibly injuring nearby lab
personnel. Avoid connecting the Bravo Platform to a company or general network. Ensure
that anyone with access to the Bravo Platform is trained in the potential hazards and how
to avoid them.
Connecting directly to the computer
To connect directly to the computer using Ethernet:
1
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the Bravo
Platform.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the computer.
Connecting through an Ethernet switch
To connect through an Ethernet switch:
1
Connect the switch to the computer as follows:
a
Connect the power cord to the switch.
b
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (black) into any Ethernet port
on the switch, and connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet
port on the computer.
