G5562A, G5563A Bravo Platform Safety and Installation Guide
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.
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.
