1. Safety Safety Setup Brooks uses caution, warning, and danger labels to convey critical information required for the safe and proper operation of the hardware and software. Read and comply with all labels to prevent personal injury and damage to the equipment.
Do not override or bypass the emergency stop circuit. Recycling and Hazardous Materials Brooks Automation complies with the EU Directive 2002/96/EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The end user must responsibly dispose of the product and its components when disposal is required.
AC line power is turned on. Intelligent Motor Power Supplies The PreciseFlex G6000 Controllers operate with motor voltages from 24VDC to 340VDC. Brooks offers three power supplies that are compatible with these controllers: the PrecisePower 300, 1000 and 2000 Intelligent Motor Power Supplies. These units include: integral relays for...
1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14 For users that want to have an E-Stop button for their controller without a remote front panel, Brooks sells an E-Stop Box with a connector pigtail that plugs into the Remote Front Panel connector and includes the necessary jumpers. ...
For applications that require additional IO capability beyond the standard functions provided with every PreciseFlex Controller, a Brooks Remote IO (RIO) module may be purchased. The RIO interfaces to any PreciseFlex Controller via 100 Mbit Ethernet and requires 24VDC power.
AC line power is turned on. Brooks offers three Intelligent Motor Power Supplies: the 300/600 Watt PrecisePower 300 with an input range from 90 to 264VAC 50/60Hz, the 1000 Watt PrecisePower 1000 with an input range from 90 to 240VAC 50/60 Hz, and the 2000 Watt PrecisePower 2000 that operates between 90- 240VAC single or three phase, 50/60Hz.
Like all robot and motion systems and most industrial equipment, they must be treated with respect by the user and the operator. This manual should be read by all personnel who operate or maintain Brooks systems, or who work within or near the work cell.

The RS-485 interface is not available for interfacing to 3 party devices when the controller is embedded in a Brooks robot such as a PreciseFlex or interfaced to a Guidance IO Module (GIO) or Guidance Slave Board (GSB). In these cases, the RS-485 supports a proprietary communication protocol that is used to interface to these Brooks devices.
340VDC. Users may employ their own DC motor power supply or may purchase an intelligent motor power supply from Brooks . Brooks offers three Intelligent Motor Power Supplies: PrecisePower 300 (300 or 600 Watts RMS) PrecisePower 1000 (1000 Watts RMS) PrecisePower 2000 (2000 Watts to 3400 Watts RMS).
Due to the additional capabilities needed to process the absolute encoder signal, these encoders may require the "Enhanced Encoders" license. Contact Brooks for the current hardware requirements for interfacing to these types of encoders.
