!
it is possible to use the MCP in the workcell, the operating keyswitch
must be set to
program execution from being started from the keyboard or terminal.
CAUTION: The coiled cable on the MCP III has been tested to withstand
500 V of repetitive electrical bursts per EN61000-4-4. Exposing the MCP
!
to voltages higher than 500 V may cause the robot to shut down. In this
event, it may be necessary to unplug, then reconnect, the MCP to restart
the robot.
MCP Cradle
The MCP is stored in the MCP cradle when it is not being held by an operator. The cradle
has a retaining clip that keeps the Hold-to-Run switch closed. The MCP cradle must be
installed outside of the robot workcell. See Figure 6-9 on page 90 for the dimensions of the
cradle.
