General During high speed continuous operation, the temperature may rise abruptly depending upon the ambient temperature and the operation pattern, so it is necessary to promptly detect a warning. A warning message is output as a dedicated output signal, so it is recommended that you monitor it on the system side as a warning signal for the sake of safety.Refer to Concurrent I/O (E1102000155XX01* or higher) for details on the signal output.

Page 72
Maintenance and inspection Position check If the "OUT OF RANGE (ABSOLUTE DATA)" alarm occurs, move to the second home position using the axis buttons, and check the position. Automatic mode, test runs and FWD movement are not possible unless the position is checked with "CONFIRM POSITION". Pulse difference check The number of pulses at the second home position is compared with that at the current position.
Maintenance and inspection 9.5.2 Procedure for the second home position setting Apart from the “home position” of the robot, the second home position can be set up as a check point for absolute data. Use the following steps to set the specified point. NOTICE If 2 or more Robots or stations are controlled by one controller, the second home position must be set for each robot or station.
Maintenance and inspection 3. Press the „page key“ or select {PAGE} to display the selection window for the control group. Occuring 2 or more group axes, select those one to you intend to specify second home position. 4. Press the axis keys. - Move the Robot to the new second home position.
