6•5•1 OPTION O008: PHASE INVERSION
Inside the peripheral wire loop, i.e. in the zone where the robot is
to work, the robot always has to "see" a positive signal phase (via
the coil). When the robot "sees" a negative phase, it stops working
and triggers a "Stuck on wire" alarm. On installation, it should be
checked that this is the case.
To do this, the robot indicates the phase of the signal it can see on the
screen. We will start by considering a single zone robot or a multi-
zone robot in zone A.
Put the robot inside its work zone and make sure that the P008
parameter for this zone is correctly programmed.
Starting from the topmenu, press
the display on the screen is similar to one of the 2 screens below:
Menu tu 19/02
27,2 AΦ- 001:139
Negative phase: NOT OK
Solution 1: Reverse the connections for the loop on the station board
for the zone.
Solution 2: Change the setting for option O008.
For a multizone installation, the robot can only work in each of the
zones/loops if the phase is positive inside each loop. Place the robot
in the recovery zone (inside all the loops installed), for example one
metre opposite the station and check that the P008 parameters (zone
A, zone B, zone C) have been programmed correctly.
F3
Press a number of times to check the value of the phase in each
of the zones. This must be positive for all the zones.
Let us consider a multizone example where the 3 zones A, B and C
are activated.

Positive phase in zones A and C but negative phase in zone C:
NOT OK
Solution : Reverse the connections for the loop B on the station
board connected to it (changing option O008 is not a solution as the
phase of zone B would go positive but the phases of zones A and C
would turn negative).

OPTION O016: MULTIZONE
This option activates or deactivates multizone mode.
If it is deactivated (-) (default setting), the robot can only work in a
single zone. It reverts to being a single zone robot. Even if the ins-
tallation contains multiple wire loops, the robot will always go to
zone A. So it is the user parameters, options and rest times for zone A
which are taken into consideration.
If the option is deactivated (-), the screen and the keyboard navigation
only give access to the global parameters/options and those for zone A.
F3
Pressing will not allow you to see/modify the settings for zones
B and C.
If it is activated (√), the robot can work in multiple zones. The robot's
behaviour is determined by the automatic station selection algorithm
(see chapter 6•2•1) (and the associated options/parameters).
6•5•3 OPTION O015: REST TIME DISABLED
This option is specific for each of zones A, B and C. See chapter
6•2•3 for a description of this option.
6•5•4 OPTION O017: ACTIVE ZONE
This option is specific for each of zones A, B and C. See chapter
6•2•4 for a description of this option.
6•6 PERIODS OF REST TIME
For a multizone robot, the rest times are specified/defined for each of
the possible work zones and the rest times are taken into considera-
tion by the automatic algorithm selecting the work zone (see chapter
6•2•5).
Up to 5 rest times can be defined for each of the zones (A, B and C).
Access to the menu for defining rest periods via the screen/keyboard
is described in the chapter 6•7.
6•7 MULTIZONE SOFTWARE
For software with a multizone option, the meaning of the buttons
described in chapter 4•5 is valid, but navigation through the menus
is more complex than for single zone software as there are more
parameters and options to define. The navigation system using the
menus from the keyboard for a multizone system is described in
figure 2.
