System Safeguards

Safeguards must be an integral part of robot or motion workcell design,
installation, operator training, and operating procedures.
Adept systems have various communication features to aid in constructing
system safeguards. These include the emergency stop circuitry and digital input
and output lines. These features are described in

can result in severe injury.

Computer Controlled Robots and Motion Devices

Adept systems are computer controlled, and the program that is currently
running the robot or motion device may cause it to move at times or along paths
you may not anticipate. When the
illuminated, do not enter the workcell because the robot or motion device might
move unexpectedly. If this bulb fails, you will not be able to enable High Power.

Manually Controlled Robots and Motion Devices

Adept robots and other motion devices can also be controlled manually when the
()( %*+,-
light on the CIP is illuminated. When this light is lit, motion can be
initiated from the system keyboard or from the optional Manual Control Pendant
(MCP). If you have to enter the workcell when this light is lit, press the
button on the MCP. This will prevent anyone else from initiating unexpected
motion from the system keyboard.

Other Computer-Controlled Devices

In addition, Adept systems can be programmed to control equipment or devices
other than the robot or main motion device. The program controlling these other
devices may cause them to operate unexpectedly. Make sure that safeguards are
in place to prevent personnel from entering the workcell when a program is
running.
