Chapter 10 - System Operation
• Manually move the slider on each axis in the system through the full range of
motion to ensure there are no mechanical problems with the sliders or internal
bearings. This also helps verify that all cable tubes are installed correctly and there
is no binding or stress on any cables or connectors. If you have a module with a
brake, you have to wait until you have 24 V power turned on to use the Brake
Release button to move the module.
Power Checks
Verify that the SmartController and the PDU3 are correctly connected to their power
supplies.
1. Make sure that power is shut off to both the SmartController and the PDU3.
2. Verify that 24 VDC power is connected to the SmartController.
3. Verify that 220 VAC single-phase power is connected to the PDU3.
4. Verify that all voltages and voltage frequencies are within range.
Cable Installation Checks
Make sure that all cables are correctly installed. Refer to
system cable diagram.
1. Check all cable connections to the SmartController and make sure they are secure.
2. Check all connections on the PDU3 to make sure they are secure.
3. Check the cable connections at each MB-10 in the system to ensure integrity of
signal connections, especially encoder feedback, and to ensure the integrity of the
ground shields and other
4. Check the cable connection between the SmartController and
Verify that the plug is latched on both ends of the cable.
5. If you are using the AdeptWindows PC user interface, use a shielded Ethernet
cable from the hub (or server) to the shielded RJ45 connector on the
SmartController. Unshielded cables will degrade the integrity of the
AdeptWindows PC link, particularly when power is applied to the robot or
mechanism. Use "straight" cables to a hub or a "crossover" cable to a stand-alone
PC.
User-Supplied Safety Equipment Checks
Verify that all user-supplied safety equipment and E-Stop circuits are installed correctly.
